The Abbotsford rental market
Abbotsford carries about 153,524 residents, and its rental stock runs to post-war single family, mid-century townhome, low-rise apartment, and newer suburban single family. Post-war single family in Abbotsford Square draws a different applicant pool than and newer suburban single family in Abbotsford Heights, so pricing and marketing flex by submarket.

Tenancy is governed by Residential Tenancy Act of British Columbia, administered through British Columbia Residential Tenancy Branch, and every placement we run stays inside those rules and federal fair housing law.
