Looking for a clean and reliable student to rent a *furnished* studio basement suite with separate garden entrance in Aldergrove. This is a short-term Summer Semester rental from May 15th until December 15, 2025. A criminal record check, proof of ability to pay rent, and 2-3 references will be required before moving forward. Access is down a sloped rock path that is pending repairs, so it can be a bit tricky for some people to navigate until that is complete.
I am the owner and reside on the top two levels of the townhouse with my small dog. My partner and I live between our two homes for part of the month.
About the area: There are two different bus stops very close by. One is just outside of the apartment complex. A new downtown core-area is being built and we have a back gate that leads directly to that area, making navigating the area much more accessible.
About the suite: This suite is FURNISHED and stocked with living essentials. We are unable to offer unfurnished at this time, but if you have your own dinnerware, towels, or bedding, we can easily remove that.
Below is an itemized list of what is included in the suite:
Bathroom: Two sets of towels, shower curtain, bath mat, garbage can, toilet brush, toilet paper stand, mirror, and hooks for towels.
Open-concept bedroom: Queen sized bed with mattress cover on bedframe, four pillows with covers, one duvet with cover, several sets of bed-sheets, throw blanket, bedside shelves, dresser, bedside lamps, bedroom storage box, wicker stool, bedroom mirror, fan, and heater.
Kitchen: Full sized-fridge with bottom freezer, air fryer, toaster oven, hot-plate, rice cooker, coffee pot, electric kettle, electric mini-waffle maker, electric egg-bite maker, set of four glasses, two fancy-glasses, two glass bottles, one juice/water jug, set of four dishes, dinner plates, side plates, bowls, four mugs, cutlery set of four, various kitchen cooking utensils, two frying pans, a small set of pots, grater, strainer, and mixing bowls. The kitchen includes an island with four stools, a wooden tray, dish rack, two tea towels and two dish cloths and a small garbage can.
Living Room: Sectional couch with storage, bucket chair with ottoman, bookshelf, wood and glass cabinet, TV with stand, coffee table, end table, area rug, second storage bench, a throw blanket, two throw pillows, entrance mat, desk and chair. There are various items such as a diffuser, candle holder, and decorations that can be removed once we discuss moving in.
Storage: There are two small storage spaces. One is located at the bottom of the stairs and the second holds a broom, mop, and some extra repair-materials like paint for the suite.
Back-yard: The back yard will be a shared space, only because I have a few potted plants that I need to tend to. You can arrange your space in the back yard however you like. There is a small folding table with chairs included and the patio is set to be repaired once the incline to the back yard is completed.
Utilities: Hotwater, electricity, gas, cable, and wifi are included. A portable A/C unit can be provided if needed for $10 a month. We have access to rent the Gazebo/BBQ area as well as the clubhouse.
Limitations: Absolutely no smoking or vaping inside the suite. There is no laundry on-site and no parking space but street parking is available. The thermostat is located upstairs in my living-space which is why I supply a small space heater. Although wifi is included, as stated above, I live part of the month away from the property and may not be able to reset the box if there is an issue.
It’s important for us to note that the suite has the main water shut off, breaker boxes, hot-water tank, and furnace for the entire home. Nobody will enter the suite without proper notice and procedures but if there is an emergency situation and we are unable to reach you after making several attempts, we may have to access those areas.
This space was recently renovated and it’s very important to me to keep a clean environment as I also reside in the home. If you find yourself overwhelmed with school or workload, I can arrange a professional housekeeper to come once a month for an extra fee.
