Hello From DTK and Hello Management!

Friendly reminder – all Tenants must provide proof of having obtained renters insurance before collecting their keys on move-in day.

This is a requirement included within your lease agreement.

Renters insurance, also known as either content insurance or tenant insurance, must be secured by the Tenant each year of their occupancy. We require that the Tenant secure insurance from a third party insurance provider, and then provide proof of having obtained insurance to our office.

Our office is not an insurance provider and cannot provide insurance policies. All major insurance brokers will offer some form of renters insurance.

Our office does not require a copy of your insurance policy. We simply require an email confirmation or similar sent from your insurance provider to yourself. A majority of insurance providers will send Tenants a confirmation email, we simply require that you forward such email to our office once received. This information can be emailed to admin@hellomanagement.ca

Requirements within the policy:
– The policy must include a minimum $2,000,000 in liability coverage
– The policy must include a minimum $25,000 in content coverage

Questions related to this topic can be sent to admin@hellomanagement.ca

Thank you

Hello From DTK and Hello Management!

Please review the steps included below to learn how to collect keys on your move-in day.

Reminder – please remember to pay for your first month rent before your move-in day. Also, please remember to schedule your elevator time before your move-in day. We will not be able to provide elevator access to those who did not schedule elevator times.

Step 1

On your move-in day, you will be able to enter the above ground parking lot. The entrance is facing Frederick Street.

Step 3

When your move-in / elevator time begins, a Hello Management Staff Member will instruct you to move your vehicle from one of the two available waiting parking spots to one of three available unloading spots. These are marked orange.

It is important that you please wait for one of these three spots to become available before you begin unloading your vehicle. 

Step 4

Once parked in the unloading area, you can then enter the building lobby through the building back entrance.

You can then collect your suite keys and check-in at the staff desk in the lobby marked green.

Please have your photo-ID ready. 

Step 5

When you receive your keys and check-in at the desk you will be assigned one of three elevators marked blue.

Each Tenant will be provided an elevator key to place their assigned elevator on service. You can then use this assigned elevator to begin moving in your items.

Elevators will be recalled and brought back to the ground floor by on-site staff once your move-in time has expired.

When your time has expired, or you no longer require use of the elevators, you can return the key to the on-site staff located in the main lobby.

Tenants who lose the elevator key will have the cost of the elevator key deducted from their provided key deposit. Key deposits will then need to be repaid in full by the Tenant. Elevator keys are valued at $200 each. 

Hello From DTK and Hello Management!

Reminder – DTK Condos is located at 60 Frederick St, Kitchener, ON. Postal Code: N2H 2L7.

This information is also included towards the end of your lease agreement.

Hello From DTK and Hello Management!

With there being a limited number of elevators available, and so many new Tenants, our office must limit elevator access to just 2-hours per suite.

Elevator times can be scheduled within specified hours available on the provided scheduling software links emailed to each Tenant.  Scheduling will be completed by using Koalendar (example image on this page). Koalendar bookings can also sync with your google or apple calendars for helpful reminders.

1. Blinds And Window Coverings

New Tenants of DTK Condos should take note that a majority of suites do not include blinds or window coverings and that these items are not included within the lease agreement. 

Tenants who would like to include blinds or window coverings can submit a request using the work request submission form located on the Resident Services page of the DTK Condos website. 

The Tenant’s request will be reviewed by the Hello Management office and then forwarded to the Suite Owner with our suggestions. The Suite Owner will then be able to decide on if, how and at what cost they may include window coverings for the Tenant. Suite Owners may choose to not include window coverings and insist the Tenant provide their own window coverings. 

In such situations where the Suite Owner requests the Tenants source their own window coverings, Hello Management will then provide a list of local vendors to the Tenant for their review. All window coverings must be white and uniform with all other window coverings used at this location. Suggested vendors will be provided to Tenants. 

2. Water Alarms

Water alarms offer dependable protection notifying you if there is a broken water pipe, water heater leak, laundry tub spill over or washing machine overflow.

These are easy to use by placing on the floor or hanging and placing the sensor wherever there is a risk of water damage.

3. Smart Home Package

All suites will be equipped with smart home technology pre-installed. These packages include:

• Smart Lock
• Smart Thermostat
• Smart Light Switches

4. Appliances

Each suite will include all major appliances in stainless steel including: 

• Fridge included 
• Stove included
• Microwave included
• Dishwasher included
• Washer / Dryer included

There is nothing worse than forgetting your keys or being locked out of your suite. Luckily, DTK Tenants have two unique options when these accidents happen. 

Alfred Locks
All DTK Condos include a smart Alfred branded lock. We encourage all Tenants to please review the Alfred user manual included within their lease agreement to create their own unique keyless door code as well as program their mobile device to lock and unlock their door remotely. 

The Concierge
If you’ve locked yourself out, lost your keys, forgotten your keyless door code and lost your phone, then we encourage you to please visit the concierge located in the building lobby. 

The concierge will be able to assist in unlocking your door once they have confirmed your identity.
