Subletting
Subletting your suite is an option if you are going to be travelling elsewhere during your lease. You are welcome to sublet to another student (reminder: our rooms are single-occupancy only) for a period of 1 month or longer.
When you find a subletter, it’s a good idea to put your agreement in writing. Complete a Sublet Contract Template and then fill out a Sublet Form below to communicate the arrangement to our team. The | w management must know who is residing in our buildings due to fire code & communication reasons. Your sublet must be approved.
Please note, you are still the tenant, and you are now acting like a “landlord” for your subletter. You will continue to pay rent to your landlord, and you are responsible for collecting rent from your subletter.
Subletting can be successful fall, winter and spring! Advertise early, make the effort to respond to interested parties in a timely manner and always post photos with your ads.

Damages
Our Damages Chargeback List can be viewed here. All residents should be aware that upon move-out, their suite should be left in a tidy state with no damages. Residents will be charged back, as per the list, for any damages, furniture replacement or extra cleaning required.
Noise Complaint
Quiet Hours begin at 11PM every night. Experiencing a noise disturbance? We highly recommend first talking with your neighbour face-to-face to let them know how they are impacting you and kindly asking them to be more mindful. Often times in shared living situations, people don’t always know how they impact other people nearby. Give them the chance to improve. If an issue persists, please issue a Noise Complaint to service@thewlondon.com including suite, date, time and details. If immediate assistance is required, you can contact the after-hours City of London Municipal Law Enforcement office. Click here to be redirected for further info.
Fire
- In the event of a fire alarm, please exit the building.
- Did you know it’s against the law to tamper with the smoke detector in your suite? Never tamper with, cover or remove your smoke detector or you could be fined. Contact service@thewlondon.com immediately if there is an issue with your smoke detector.
Garbage & Recycling
Tenants must dispose of their garbage & recycling in the provided moloks located outside the building (located at the front side of the building). Keep your suite clean & clear of full garbage bags or recycling containers to avoid issues with insects or pests. Remove your garbage frequently and make sure to sort garbage from recycling and put in the properly labeled bins.
If you are found leaving your garbage surrounding the bins, you will be charged a cleaning fee.
Access
Residents enter all areas of the | w with their own unique code. Do not give your code to anyone else to maintain security into your building, unit, and room. And remember, your guests are free to use the | w’s amenities but must be accompanied by you. Guests are your responsibility!
Laundry
the | w is proud to offer convenient laundry facilities in every suite! Remember to use detergents with the HE symbol to prevent damages/leaks.
TIP
- Clean the lint traps regularly to avoid fire hazards! Simply locate the square lint trap located inside the bottom of the dryer drum, pull it out, clean the lint, and replace when done. This also ensures your clothes dry in the shortest amount of time.
