Rentals in Ottawa, for tenants and landlords

Helping tenants find the right home, and landlords find the right tenant, with a clear understanding of Ontario's rental rules.

For tenants

  • Find the right home

    Listings that fit your budget, your commute and your move-in date.

  • Book viewings

    We arrange the viewings so you can see the places that matter, quickly.

  • Understand the lease

    Know what you are agreeing to before you sign, and what your rights are.

For landlords

  • Price it well

    A rent set from what similar homes are asking, so your property rents at the right level.

  • Market and show it

    Photos, listing and viewings arranged for you.

  • Choose a tenant

    Support with applications and references, within the rules Ontario sets for what can be asked.

  • Start with a proper lease

    Most Ontario tenancies use the Standard Lease. We can point you to a lawyer for legal questions.

Ontario's rental rules matter

Rentals in Ontario are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, and disputes go to the Landlord and Tenant Board. The rules on rent increases, deposits, notice and ending a tenancy apply whatever a lease says.

We explain how the rules apply in practice. For legal advice about a specific dispute, we can connect you with Gurpreet or another lawyer.

Common questions

Do I need a realtor to rent a home?

No, but a realtor can help you find suitable listings, book viewings and understand a lease before you sign it. Landlords can also use one to price, advertise and show a property.

What lease is used in Ontario?

Most residential tenancies in Ontario use the province's Standard Lease. It sets out the basics, and the Residential Tenancies Act applies whatever a lease says.

Can a landlord ask for anything they like on an application?

No. Ontario rules limit what a landlord can ask for and how it is used. For example, in Ontario a landlord can ask for a rent deposit of up to one month's rent, but not for a damage deposit.

Who pays any fee?

That depends on the agreement. Whatever the arrangement, it should be agreed in writing before work starts. Ask us when you get in touch.
