Application Processes (Rent-Geared To-Income & Market):

Rent-Geared To-Income (RGI) Applicant:

You will be contacted when you have reached the top of the waiting list.

 

When a RGI unit is available, Saorsie Co-op will obtain the information of the applicant at the top of the BATH list and will contact the applicant.  If the applicant is interested in the unit, then the applicant must submit a fully completed Co-op application form which can be done in person or via email.

 

Once you have given the Co-op your completed application form the Co-op will:

  • Interview all applicants applying for membership.

  • Orient the applicant(s) of the requirements and expectations of membership.

  • Collect the required RGI documentation so that a housing charge calculation can be completed.
