All leases in Cedarbrook are governed by the Residential Tenancy Agreement between the tenant and Cedarbrook Development Limited Partnership. This question page is for general information purposes only and does not substitute or form part of the lease agreement.

Cedarbrook is a master-planned community located on Shxwhá:y Village First Nation lands adjacent to the City of Chilliwack. Westbow is designing and building Cedarbrook with a very long-term vision. We are creating a sought-after, beautiful, safe community that is a destination for our area. 

Cedarbrook is a beautiful, clean and professionally managed community. You will be offered the option of participating in our unique Key-In Program (KeyIn Program | Prokey Living) where you can use part of your monthly rent payments towards purchasing a home in Cedarbrook. Your rental home will be maintained to a very high standard. As Cedarbrook grows, it will continue to get better and better with more amenities and unique offerings for you and our other residents. 

Because of our unique structure and First Nations partnership, we can offer products, services, and incentives which are not normally seen in B.C.’s rental market. 

Cedarbrook offers a range of professionally managed rental homes. These include single family homes, row homes, apartment buildings, and even secondary suites. Pricing ranges from affordable units for working class residents to large, luxurious family homes. 

All of our buildings are newly built, professionally designed and engineered to meet or exceed current building code standards, and energy efficient. 

Cedarbrook is a partnership with the Shxwhá:y Village First Nation based on long-term lease expiring in 2144 (nearly 125 years!). These lands are not under provincial jurisdiction and are not regulated by the Residential Tenancy Act. Your tenancy is based on the lease agreement you negotiate and sign, not provincial legislation. 

Tenants sign a 12-month term lease with a fixed price for the entire lease term. Prior to the end of the lease term, you will be offered a new 12-month lease at a new rental rate. 

If a tenant chooses not to extend their lease, they will be required to vacate the unit at the end of the lease term. Your lease does not automatically become a month-to-month tenancy. To avoid misunderstandings or additional charges, it is important that you communicate with Prokey Living Management about your intentions. 

Prokey Living Management continuously looks at market rental rates for the Chilliwack area. Our goal is to provide high-quality housing in a thriving community for our tenants at rates that are fair and competitive. Keeping our rental rates in line with market rents allows us to properly maintain and reinvest in your unit so that you and your neighbours live in modern, desirable and safe homes which are regularly updated. 

We are committed to providing our residents with a comfortable and stable living environment. Although our properties are not subject to provincial rental control legislation, we follow a fair and consistent approach to rent adjustments. Adjustments in pricing are aligned with market conditions to ensure we deliver great value to our residents and the broader community. Our goal is to have you stay in your Cedarbrook home for a long time! 

Tenants may pay additional fees for pets (in our designated pet-friendly units!), parking in certain buildings, and extra parking spaces. All these additional fees are disclosed and reviewed on your tenancy agreement prior to your signing.

All units in Cedarbrook have individual meters for utilities, so you will have your own utility accounts for your home.

Prokey Living is a property management firm founded in 2019 by the Westbow Group. Prokey’s purpose is to provide professional, quality management services to properties owned or controlled by the Westbow Group. We aim to provide quality housing, responsive management and competitive pricing for our tenants across our portfolio of communities. 

Prokey manages properties as an owner would manage their own property. That’s because we are part of the broader Westbow Group of Companies who own most of the properties we manage. Being part of the ownership structure allows us to take long-term positions on what is best for our properties. We work hard, have a great team, and constantly improve our technology so that our tenants are happy, and our properties are well managed! 

Prokey uses an online portal called YuHu (https://prokeyliving.yuhu.io/) to manage all maintenance work. This portal is accessible by all tenants to create maintenance tickets. You may add photos as well to help our technicians come better prepared for your maintenance concern. YuHu connects directly to our maintenance technicians, so this process will be the quickest option in most situations. Unless you are having an issue creating a ticket in YuHu, please avoid emailing your site manager with maintenance concerns. 

For urgent after-hours issues, please call our 24/7 phone line 1-844-477-6539. If the concern can wait until the next business day, we appreciate your respect for our maintenance technician’s time off with their families. 

This would be any issue that requires immediate attention to avoid significant damage, safety, or injury to any person. Some examples would include an active water leak, flood, fire, doors that are not securing properly, or sudden loss of heat in freezing temperatures. 

If the concern is not urgent and can wait until the next business day, we appreciate your respect for our maintenance technician’s time off with their families. 

For urgent after-hours issues, please call our 24/7 phone line 1-844-477-6539. 

Each property will have a site manager, along with other staff, who manage the property and respond to tenant concerns and building issues. If you would like to connect with your site manager, please send them an email at rent@prokey.ca or to their personal email provided on their business card. Many of our properties have regular office hours where the site manager will be available.  

If you require maintenance to your unit or to a common property issue you found, please utilize our online portal (https://prokeyliving.yuhu.io/) and create a maintenance ticket. Sending maintenance requests to site managers by email may result in delays as site managers often have email queues and a wide variety of responsibilities. 

For urgent after-hours issues, please call our 24/7 phone line 1-844-477-6539. If the concern can wait until the next business day, we appreciate your respect for our maintenance technician’s time off with their families. 

We accept rent through a Pre-authorized Debit process. This will pull your rent payment automatically on the first day of each month. If you receive a credit on your unit ledger for an expense reimbursement or other credit, the amount of rent collected in the following month will automatically be reduced. 

Please connect with your site manager to set up Pre-authorized Debit payments or to update your banking information. 

Unfortunately, we do not accept Interac e-transfer or credit cards for regular rent payments. 

At Prokey, one of our values is that We Care - We seek opportunities and leverage our skills to help those in need. We listen to our customers and empathize with their perspectives. If you have suddenly come into an unforeseen life challenge that make it a hardship to pay your rent, please contact your site manager immediately. Our in-house Beacon Program (Beacon Rental Assistance Program | Prokey Living) provides short-term financial assistance for eligible tenants. 

We also encourage tenants explore housing assistance options with municipal and provincial authorities. If you need assistance on where to start with these options, please contact your site manager.

We require documents to complete comprehensive checks on all rental applications. These include identity verification, employment / income verification, credit quality, rental / mortgage payment history, and more. The leasing agent or site manager will be able to provide you with the full list of documents required for each rental. 

We take pride in our buildings and promote safe, friendly communities. We will only rent to honest tenants who show a track record of responsible behaviour. 

The Key-In Program is a program available to Cedarbrook renters in Chilliwack only. This is because of our unique land partnership agreement with a First Nations community.
