Find The
Right GTA
Tenant

Listing your property is completely free with no upfront costs. We earn a fee only when your property is successfully leased — typically equivalent to one month's rent, shared between listing and co-operating agents. You pay nothing until you have a signed lease and a qualified tenant in place.

We serve the entire Greater Toronto Area including Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, and surrounding communities throughout the GTA and Greater Golden Horseshoe.

Yes. As a licensed Ontario brokerage and TRREB member, we list your property on the Toronto Real Estate Board (TRREB) MLS system — the most powerful rental database in Canada. Your listing also syndicates to Realtor.ca, Kijiji, Zumper, Rentals.ca, and 50+ additional rental platforms.

Most of our GTA listings receive qualified inquiries within 24–48 hours of going live on MLS. The average time from listing to signed lease is around 21 days, though well-priced properties in high-demand areas like Toronto, Mississauga, and Brampton often lease in 1–2 weeks.

Absolutely. We coordinate full tenant screening including credit checks, employment verification, reference checks, and rental history review. We help you select a qualified, reliable tenant who meets Ontario's Human Rights Code guidelines while protecting your interests as a landlord.

Yes. We prepare the Residential Tenancy Agreement (Ontario Standard Lease Form 2229E) as required under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA). The lease is fully RTA-compliant and can be signed digitally for convenience.

No — you don't need to be present. Our licensed agents conduct all property showings on your behalf, qualify prospective tenants, and provide you with showing feedback and updates throughout the process.

Lease by Owner gives you the professional power of the TRREB MLS — the same system used by agents for multimillion-dollar sales — combined with professional photography, coordinated showings, legal tenant screening, and a fully compliant Ontario lease, all without the hassle. Kijiji alone reaches a fraction of the audience and attracts less qualified leads.

Yes. Before listing, our agents conduct a detailed rental market analysis (RMA) based on current TRREB data for your specific area — so you price competitively to lease fast while achieving maximum market rent.
