Hi,
Lets take your questions one by one
1 yes the townhouse will have a backyard, but the size varies depending on the community.
2 Most of the apartments are in high rise buildings, there are very few low rise and they're quite old, i will not suggest going for that
3 Some buildings have a play area otherwise a park may be nearby.
4 most of the rented properties will have equipped kitchen, with a cooker a fridge a dishwasher and microwave
Also a washer and dryer is also there.
5 i f you rent in one of the buildings which i mentioned in my previous post, then you need to pay rent, everything is included.
In some newer buildings you need to pay for hydro(electricity) separately.
A lease is generally for a year , but longer or shorter lease is also possible.
Hope u satisfied with the answers .
