OUR SERVICES

Coté Terrace provides 80 affordable, independent living apartment units for seniors who are able to care for themselves and that do not require on site staff for assistance with their personal needs.

Rent Geared to Income (RGI)

  • 40 of the 80 units are rent geared to income (RGI) apartments. RGI means a portion of the tenants rent is subsidized through the Region of Halton. 

  • For those interested in assisted living at Coté Terrace, the Region of Halton contact information is included on the 'Contact Us' page on the menu line at the top.

Affordable Market Rent (AMR)​

  • The other 40 units are affordable market rent (AMR) apartments.

  • Market rent is simply the rent charged by a landlord for an apartment and is driven by 'supply and demand economics'; i.e. the higher the number of people looking for apartments and the lower the number of apartment available, the higher the rent is likely to be. 

  • In the context of community housing, 'affordable market rent' is set based the average market rate to rent similar market rent apartments in the area. 'Affordable' means the rent is at the lower end or below the average apartment market rent charged in the area.

  • The average market rents for an area are published yearly by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). CMHC numbers as well as those of other agencies are used to set market rent.

  • The Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) sets the maximum allowable year to year rent increase for AMR tenants and it is typically around 1.5 to 2%.  ​​​
