9. Cancellation & Refund Policy

Rent Smart Education and Support Society (RSESS) and its partners hope everyone who registers for the training will be able to attend; however, RSESS knows extenuating circumstances do occur. As a charity, we have limited financial resources and are highly impacted by cancelled registrations. The RSESS Cancellation and Refund Policy is as follows to assure consistency and is applicable to all RentSmart^© Educator trainings and other paid events organized by RSESS:

• Training course registrations will not be confirmed until registration is complete, payment processed and billing information is received in full.
• In order to cancel a confirmed registration or reschedule for a future date, please submit an email request to info@rentsmarteducation.org.
• Due to limited seating, we request that you cancel at least 7 days before a scheduled training. This gives us the opportunity to fill the course seat. If you cancel 7 to 13 days before the training, we offer you a credit to your account. You may use this credit towards a future training. We will do our best to provide you with acceptable options to attend another training at a different time and location that works for you. However, if you do not cancel prior to the 7 days, you will lose the payment for the class.
• Cancellations made 14 days or more in advance of the event date, will receive a full refund subject to a 10% administrative fee.
• Registration fees may be transferred to another individual within your organization, but you must notify RSESS via email to info@rentsmarteducation.org no less than 3 business days before the training.

* Unforeseen circumstances is used to describe an event that is unexpected and prevents RSESS or its partners from continuing with a training or event. Examples of such circumstances can include, but are not limited to, inclement weather or other natural disasters, site unavailability, technology challenges, and presenter absence.

You can substitute a co-worker if you will not be able to attend, however, we require advanced notice to complete this change as we will be providing you with a unique account to access all the resources needed for this training and course resources afterwards. You will not be permitted to attend the course if sufficient notice is not provided — no refund and no credit.

Educator Companion and Participant Manuals 

Community Educator Companion Manuals and Basics and Certificate Participant Manuals purchased are non-refundable. Community Educators are strongly encouraged to access these materials digitally which may be included with your subscriptions.  

Rent Smart Education and Support Society will be phasing out the Educator print resources (however digital copies can be printed, if desired). This transition will allow us to be more responsive to current shifts in the housing/homelessness sector, legislative updates, reduce our carbon footprint, and keep costs low.
