Newcomer-Friendly Rentals
Finding a home as a newcomer to Canada can be tricky. Now, that’s me being nice. It can be frustrating.
I started curating this list of newcomer-friendly rentals to hopefully make it easier for you to find a home that fits your budget and your needs.
So how does this work? Find a home that fits your budget → fill the form → I review and pass onto the landlord → landlord follows up → viewing, lease, move in. Yippee!
All the best. Welcome to Canada, make it better.
