Finding a home

Prepare for a rental search before committing money.

Build a realistic housing budget

Include rent, utilities, transport, insurance and move-in costs. Compare neighbourhood access to work, schools and services. Rental rules are provincial or territorial.

Verify before paying

Confirm the property, landlord and lease terms. Be cautious with requests for money before you can verify a listing. Consult the local tenancy authority if terms are unclear.
