    Existing Rental Income*

    • Buying a property with tenants: where you are purchasing a property that has existing tenants with an existing lease contract/agreement, the existing rental income currently collected by the seller can be included in the affordability assessment of the purchaser’s application. This assumes that the tenants will continue renting the property per the lease agreement.

    Future Rental Income*

A percentage of the estimated market-related rental income can be included on the credit affordability assessment.
