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.
