Step 1

The first step in the process will be to get the documents listed below prepared. We will need these to be able to put in an offer for you.

  • Rental Application: You can fill this out with leaving the address blank (we can fill that in once have found a place we'd like to offer on)

  • Full Credit Report: Usually Equifax or TransUnion are the most acceptable, it's approximately $19.00 for a full report

  • Copy of Photo ID (Drivers Licence, Passport or Health Card)

  • Employment Letter

  • Recent Pay Stubs (Or proof of income)

  • References (Previous landlords, employers, or family friends, etc.)

Step 2

After we identify your key criteria we’ll arrange to see available rental properties. You’ll be set up to receive alerts when new leases hit the market that match your specifications. We will also search for upcoming and off-market leases through our agent network.

Step 3

Putting in an offer! Once we find the place that we would like to offer on I will put together an offer for you.

Sometimes we have our clients type up a quick letter to the landlord and send some cute photos that show their beautiful personalities! Totally optional but it just adds a little bit of magic to the offer.

At this time, you will need to have enough cash for a First and Last certified deposit cheque.

The documents you will expect to see that will need signatures at this time are as follows:

  1. Tenant Representation Agreement and the Covid-19 Schedule A: This states the relationship between you and my brokerage with me as the representative. The Schedule A is a new form we have to have that says the usual "You haven't been around anyone with COVID-19, haven't had symptoms, etc at the time of showings"

  2. Working with a Realtor: What it means to work with a Realtor (standard government form)

  3. Agreement to Lease the property and attached Schedules (the actual offer to lease)

Once the offer is Accepted you will need:

  1. Certified Cheque or Bank Draft for First and Last (it may end up being e-transfer or a wire of funds because of the pandemic. Depends on the brokerage): Payable to the listing brokerage

  2. Deposit Cheque for Keys: (Usually around $200) payable to the landlord. You will get this back at the end of your lease when you return the keys.

  3. 10 Post-Dated Cheques or Pre-authorized payment form: Filled in and signed and payable to the Landlord OR we can set up E-transfer as an option.
