FAQs

  • When will the Aquarius Towers be ready for occupancy?
    Phase 1 at 25 Aquarius Court will be ready for occupancy in October 2024.
  • What is the application process to become a tenant?
    Once you have decided to call the Aquarius Towers 'home', you will need to submit a tenant application form. We will contact you to let you know of available inventory, rent rates, and to discuss which apartment design and location you would prefer, and the unit can be reserved in your name. We will then request a copy of your photo id and proof of income so your application can be approved. A lease will be created and forwarded to you for digital signature. If you prefer to sign in person, that can be arranged too! To hold your unit, both the lease and deposit must be received. For more information on deposits, see the next question.
  • Is a deposit required?
    All leases require a Security Deposit of 1 month's rent to be held with ServiceNB. You can either e-transfer it to the Landlord who will submit it, or you can visit any ServiceNB location in person. Each tenant listed on the lease is required to submit an equal portion of the deposit. Deposits are held and managed by the Residential Tenancy Tribunal through ServiceNB.
  • What type of leases are available?
    All of our leases are periodic year-to-year. This means it has no end date and automatically renews each year unless the landlord or tenant provide the proper termination notice at least 3 months prior to the renewal date of the lease. You can find out more about Renting in New Brunswick, including viewing a standard lease, by visiting the Government of New Brunswick website.
  • How much is the rent and are utilities included?
    The starting rent for each style of unit are shown on each Suite Style's page. These were updated on March 1st, 2024. This starting point will represent the the rent of that style of unit on the lowest floor(s). As you go up in floors, the monthly rent increases. Heat, electricity and hot water (water is included, but the heating of it is not) are not included. Your apartment will have a highly efficient heating / cooling vented heat pump system and air exchange system. There are also electric heaters in each room for added comfort.

The New Brunswick Smoke-free Places Act 2011, c. 222 states: 3.0 No person shall smoke (a) in an enclosed public space, (b) in an indoor workplace (d) within 9 meters of a door, an air intake or a window of an enclosed public place or an indoor workplace.

    Our trusted management team will be available as needed! They will help with move-in procedures, light maintenance tasks and security.
  • Do you have a pet policy?
    We understand that your pet is a family member. However, it is important to note that you, the tenant, are responsible for managing your pet and how that pet affects the comfort of other tenants. PLEASE NOTE: Floor 4 is designated as a PET FREE area. Our Pet Policy - Your pet must be noted on the lease and may only be added upon landlord approval. - No exotic or dangerous amphibians or reptiles. No noisy birds. - Dogs & Cats must be fixed (spayed or neutered) and vaccines up-to-date. - Dogs must have a valid dog license (purchased from your veterinarian or the City of Saint John). - Tenant must confirm that their Renter’s Insurance covers pet liabilities. - Flea & Tick medication is recommended. If a flea or tick outbreak is declared in the building, it is each tenant’s responsibility, including financially, to treat their pet(s). - Clean up messes asap as to not damage floors & finishes. - Any damage to the property is the financial responsibility of the tenant, including damage caused from claws, chewing and biological messes. Cats: - Keep litter boxes cleaned and NEVER flush litter down the toilet or pour down the drain. - max. 2 cats per apartment - previous landlord approval required that you have take care of your cat(s). Dogs: - must be a mature, adult dog (no puppies) - max. 1 dog per apartment - the landlord/property manager will request to interview the owner and dog prior to approval to confirm that the dog will be a good fit for the property. (Good fit = dog is well-exercised, doesn’t jump up on people, doesn’t bark excessively, is friendly and calm while travelling through common areas of the building) - must not be left unattended on the balcony, or left to bark excessively. With regards to getting a dog after you've moved in... We do not allow puppies or dogs to be added to the lease after you have moved in. There is no way to determine how a dog will react when they have both new surroundings AND a new owner. There is always an adjustment phase required when getting a new-to-you dog, and it is extremely unfair to ask other tenants to have to put up with the adjustment as well. If adding a dog to your household is a desire for you in the near future, then we ask that you do not move into The Aquarius Towers. Please be aware that not everyone in your building will enjoy your pets like you do: • Dogs must be kept on a leash whenever in common areas (outside of your apartment). • Do not enter the elevator with your dog if another tenant is already riding, unless they say that it is ok. • Keep your dog bathed so as not to leave an odor, and brushed to reduce shedding. • Wipe their paws prior to entering the building. Our cleaners work hard to maintain clean common areas, and are not responsible to clean up after your dog. • Only walk your dog in the designated areas of the property. The grass immediately surrounding the building should never be used for your dog to relieve themselves. • Clean up after your dog. It is unsanitary to leave your dog’s excrement on the ground and extremely un-neighbourly. In fact, Poop & Scoop is the law: Saint John City By-law Number M-13: 10(1) An owner shall remove any feces left by his or her dog on any property other than the property of the owner. 14(2) The penalty for violation of this by-law is $150.
