So I’m a working professional relocating to Vancouver for my wife to attend a program that will allow her to further her career and double her salary.

We are thinking 2k a month since she only be working part time and hope to move for July 1. I’ve had some offers but I may be committing to Pitt Meadows. We have been looking at places and we found a laneway home in Burnaby toward the west end section.

It’s pretty small, and I’m having a hard time committing. I am a record collector, and while I don’t need to blast my music the detached aspect appealed to me. I also would like to attend concerts in Vancouver. I also own two cats which has rules us out of a few more appealing spaces. Is it harder to find rentals in June for July?

Should I just commit to my current prospect? Maybe an older apartment building is better (I prefer low rise).

I’ve only had luck with Fraser Valley Districts, and I’m trying to find work closer to Metro Van.

VSB has been incredibly hard to deal with and offered to interview me AFTER I move there in person in the summer. Wtf?

Really not trying to have to commute so far as my wife is working in the city.

Long story short I was offered a job in the region I’m relocating for my wife to pursue a specialized degree. The current offer is a bit of more of a commute than I’d love, but I’m in talks with other districts that seem keen to interview.

Most landlords want proof of employment as well. I THINK and hope I can get something closer to where I’m living, but in the meantime should I accept the TOC role I’ve been offered?

Has anyone backed out after accepting an offer after being offered something better by another district? Thanks for any answers

Edit: Province is BC - offer is for next fall
