How It Works
find your next rental in six easy steps
  1. Browse listings, searching our vast database using a variety of criteria such as rent amount, unit size, number of bedrooms, smoking, accessibility or pet-friendly properties.
  2. Become a registered renter, completing the necessary pre-screening requirements.
  3. Set up an appointment to view your preferred property. (Note. If you do not submit an offer within 48 hours of visiting a property, that listing will be removed from your searches for the next 30 days. This helps ensure that all viewing appointments are made by serious prospects.)
  4. Create and submit an offer to rent directly to the landlord, who will respond to you within 48 hours. The landlord may accept your offer as is, or may come back with a counter offer which you can accept or counter again. (Landlords and rental agents on our portal will prioritize your submission over others, as you have already completed the pre-screening process and are a preferred tenant.)
  5. Pay your first and last month’s rent on our secure portal, using a debit or credit card. (Subsequent rental payments can be paid directly to the landlord via e-transfer, cheque or credit card)
