Rental Program

Eligibility & Guidelines Download Application

The Banff Housing Corporation manages an inventory of 133 below market rental units in Banff. These units are available to eligible Banff residents through the waitlist on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Before you download the Rental Application, review the Eligibility and Guidelines above to ensure you qualify for the program and have your supporting documentation ready for submission.

There are minimum and maximum income qualifiers for each unit type to ensure that tenants are not paying more than 32% of their gross household income on housing costs, which aligns with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC) guidelines for affordability. Unit selection is restricted by household size to ensure the inventory is optimized. Minimum and maximum income qualifiers and rental rates are updated on an annual basis, effective January 1 each year. 

Applicants to the rental program acknowledge that they are applying to a waitlist where eligibility requirements may change over time.

Acknowledgement

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we honour and acknowledge that the townsite of Banff is located on traditional Treaty 7 territory. These sacred lands are a gathering place for the Niitsitapi from the Blackfoot Confederacy, of whom the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani First Nations are part; the Îyârhe Nakoda of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; the Métis Nation of Alberta, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to enrich our vibrant community.

We are grateful to those whose territory we reside on and acknowledge the many First Nations and Métis who have lived and cared for these lands for generations.
