8)  How do you calculate the rent amount?

The rent amount is calculated at 30% of the total household revenue, including any interest, payments from a RIF or REER, pensions, alimony, etc.  After the 30% is calculated, a small fee for utilities, parking, the use of air conditioning is added to the basic rent to form the total rent to be paid each month.  Every member of the family with revenue is considered when calculating rent.
