Can we house a family of two in a three-bedroom unit, if there are no other applicants?

If you have exhausted all avenues of finding a family who meets the minimum occupancy standards for the three-bedroom unit, you can house a smaller family in the unit.

However, have the family sign an addendum to the tenancy/occupancy agreement to acknowledge they are over housed and agree to move at a later date if another family needs the larger unit. Contact your Property Portfolio Manager at BC Housing for a sample agreement
