Homestay in Nepean

My husband and I are current homestay hosts to international students. We have been since 2019. We have 4 available bedrooms located on the second floor of our home.

Each bedroom is equipped with a medium size window, door, and closet. The bedrooms are also furnished with a bed, mattress, desk, chair and lamp. We will provide basic bedding and linen but you will be required to provide your own bedding for additional comfort.

You will have shared access to the main bathroom.

You will have access to our wifi network and basic utilities like heat, electricity, water. You will also have access to the washer and dryer and all kitchen appliances if you wish to make your own meals.

We will provide three meals per day; breakfast, lunch and dinner. You will be responsible for providing your own snacks. On the weekdays, the food supplies will be provided and you will make your own breakfast. Lunches will be prepared for you to take with you to school. On weekends, I will prepare hearty breakfasts/brunches. Some of our current students’ favourite meals are breakfast sandwiches, breakfast wraps, burgers, hot dogs, soups, savoury asian meals with the occasional holiday treats.

We are close to Algonquin College and Carleton University. Algonquin College is a short bus ride. The bus stop is a quick 2-minute walk from our house. Route 86 will lead you to a bus station that will have access to many bus routes.

The monthly rent for the bedroom and meals will be $1200 per month or $300 per week. Upon the start of the tenancy, you will be required to provide first and last month’s rent and potentially a security and key deposit.

No alcohol, no smoking, no drugs, no marijuana, no parties. You are expected to follow house rules, any rule-breaking will result in warnings and any subsequent rule-breaking will result in termination of the tenancy with notice.

There will be a contract to be signed upon the start of the tenancy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know.
