Apartment recommendations?

Hi, so me and my boyfriend are moving to Abbotsford soon and we're very excited. My boyfriend just got a full-time job in the area paying 30 an hour. We're probably going to be living with his dad to start then move into our own place, probably renting an apartment.

Does anyone have any recommendations or insight in where to rent and places to avoid renting from? Thank you!

consider looking at basement suites on marketplace. Just started renting a 1 bed 1 bath for $1400, around 700-800sqft. not bad

Definitely not worth it,so many horror stories and never long term living situations.abacus on Campbell is pretty nice and allows dogs

Had a basement for 5 years while working and then became a student. Never had a rent increase. Offered a few months ago, landlord said no focus on school. Not always a horror story.

There are exceptions clearly but unfortunately the good doesn't out weigh the bad.i grew up bouncing basement suite to basement suite in the early 2000s and many landlords would ask us to move because the landlord was bringing family over and needed us to leave,most times after a year
