Rent & Damage Deposit
Rent is automatically deducted from the employee’s pay cheque on a bi-weekly basis. The Nisichawayasihk Education Authority employee who is living in a NEA dwelling is required to pay a damage deposit, which is equivalent to two month’s rent. The damage deposit covers damages and/or failure to leave one’s unit in a satisfactory condition prior to vacating.

Units are Smoke Free and Pet Free

The rental units are “smoke free and pet free”. Staff may not smoke in the units at any time. Violation of this rule may result in eviction and consequent termination of employment.

Pets are not permitted in the units without written authorization from the Director of Education and Board, which is usually issued only to tenants who had pets before the pet-free policy was adopted. Where authorization is given, an additional damage deposit of one month’s rent will be deducted from the employee’s pay cheque on a bi-weekly basis.

Relocation Allowance
The NEA can assist out of province teachers with a one-time relocation allowance of $1,000.
