A Calgary-based company that rents out more than 1,500 suites in Alberta has expanded its vaccination policy beyond its employees and contractors, and now mandates the same for future tenants.

Strategic Group announced Thursday that all prospective tenants will be required to show proof of vaccination. Tenants were notified of the change in September.

"Our residents are telling us that they value knowing that all their neighbours are vaccinated—they feel even safer in their own homes," said Strategic Group CEO Riaz Mamdani in a statement. "We have had no pushback from prospective residents when we ask for proof of vaccination prior to doing tours.The company says exemptions will be made for children 12 and under who are currently ineligible for vaccines.

Unvaccinated residents who currently reside in one of the company's one or two-bedroom suites in Calgary or Edmonton will not be evicted based on their status and will be allowed to renew their leases, but they will not be permitted to access shared amenities including fitness facilities and party rooms.

"Vaccination of everyone in our community is the only way we are going to get through this pandemic and back to a sense of normalcy," said Mamdani. "The safety of our team and our residents is a top priority, so ensuring full vaccination across the board is the least we can do." Strategic Group officials confirm to CTV News that unvaccinated tenants will still have access to hallways, lobbies, elevators, patios and other select shared spaces within the buildings and that all of the company's staff members are fully vaccinated.

Just what the actual hell does being vaccinated have to do with renting a home.

That shldnt be a problem as sadly there are tons of fake and falsified vaccine passports all about. Shamefully so.

Bern it down?

Bahahahha cause they want ALL their renters to drop dead so they can clean house and collect the next batch of first and last month's rent cheques for the next group of willing participants!! Asking for a friend

Now this should be considered illegal without a second thought.

WTF?

So who the EFF will they blame when Covid still goes around ? A hockey club in Newmarket - all double vaxxed - 1 dead and 15 with Covid. WAKE UP. This vax is NOT effective enough to merit ANY mandates.

This is getting beyond ridiculous. Segregation has no place in Canada!

Jesus. People are hopping on the bullshit bandwagon like there's gold on the other side.

I guess we don’t like housing for homeless either.

All you vaxed people just feel like you got f___ed and now you want us to join you. Good luck with the 6 doses you will need to feel same lmao.

Criminal

Wow...Humans have completely lost their marbles

Well. Let's boycott them. Can we know the names?

Evil politicians are trying kncking down the economy.

Full blown Dystopian Nightmare where the Corporation’s have control of your bodily autonomy. If you defend this action please pack your bags and move to China where you rightfully belong .

Wow.. bibez1

Great. It’s all coming together. If you are unvaccinated you will be homeless, hungry, unemployed, hated and ostracized by the general public. Way to go everyone!

Good. Being willingly unvaxed means your not as likely to be employed and have numerous character flaws as well.

Wow this is getting carried away.. No proof the 'fully vaccinated' won't come down sick in months to years of time. How those of us here ever survived the last 2 years just baffles the mind.. Risk your health and your children's for those weak and frail..

So you mean the vaccine does not work if people are afraid of the unvaccinated ...

And what is the right skin color, religion, political view, sexual orientation?
