Kika Living is focused on making the leasing process as simple, eco-friendly, and straight forward as possible. Want to apply for an apartment or finalize a lease? No problem. A leasing agent will email you a digital copy of the necessary documents to be filled out, signed, and returned. Applicants will only be guaranteed their apartment once Kika Living has received first and last months’ rent and the fully compete and signed lease. Please note, our rental rates and leasing terms are non-negotiable, no exceptions. 

The payment of first and last months’ rent is required in order to secure your apartment. All apartments are rented on a first come, first serve basis. Kika Living will accept this payment by transfer to our payee name, TenantPay. The resident simply sets up TenantPay as a payee through their bank. Your leasing agent will issue you a secure TenantPay account number with which you can transfer first and last as well as your monthly rent once moved in. TenantPay has also partnered with Western Union to make your payments easy and convenient if you are moving internationally! For more information about TenantPay visit www.tenantpay.com.

Our web repair portal allows residents to log a fault any time, day or night.  Your repair request will be logged and a member of our maintenance team will aim to resolve the issue as soon as possible.  For anything we can’t fix ourselves, we use only trusted contractors who go through a vigorous approval process.

Each resident will be welcomed to their new home with a freshly cleaned suite.  Keys are available for pick-up and return at the Skrtich/Kika Living office - Rear-40 Front Street South, Thorold, ON L2V 1W9 - between 9:00 AM-5:30 PM Monday-Friday. Unable to make it between those times? No worries - simply contact your leasing agent to make alternate arrangements. Leases begin and end at noon on the first and last day of the lease agreement. You must leave your apartment clean and clear all of your personal belongings by noon on the last day of your lease. This is to ensure our staff has time to inspect your unit after you've moved out.

"I love the openness of my spacious apartment, with high-end finishes and appliances.  Each unit having its' own washer and dryer, and allowing our pet with a most convenient dog walk on the rooftop, along with BBQ’s and loungers is another plus.  Heated underground parking was high on my priority list, as well as security. Having all of the above is truly enhanced with the friendliness of the other tenants and those at Kika Living.  They are a delight and so quick to respond to our needs.  Am very pleased to be a tenant here!!"
