Frequently Asked Questions

You will need a valid government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or passport, a credit score and full credit report from Equifax or TransUnion, a completed rental application form, and proof of income. Employed applicants should provide confirmation of employment and two recent pay stubs. Self-employed applicants need business registration documents and three months of bank statements. Having these documents ready ensures a faster, smoother application process.

In Ontario, landlords are legally permitted to collect a rent deposit equal to one month's rent at the time of signing the lease. This deposit must be applied to your final month's rent — it is not an additional fee. Some landlords may also request post-dated cheques. The total upfront cost is typically first month's rent plus the one-month deposit, totalling two months of rent at the time of move-in.

The rental application process typically involves submitting your documents, a credit check, employment verification, and landlord reference checks. Once your application is submitted, most landlords respond within 2 to 5 business days. From your first viewing to move-in, the entire process usually takes 1 to 4 weeks depending on availability and how quickly documents are provided.

Yes, in some cases you can negotiate rent, especially if the property has been listed for a while or if you can demonstrate strong qualifications as a tenant. Offering a longer lease term, prepaying rent, or having excellent credit can strengthen your negotiating position. However, in competitive markets with high demand, landlords may not be willing to negotiate.

In Ontario, your rent deposit must be applied to your last month's rent — the landlord cannot keep it for any other purpose. If your landlord refuses to apply it properly, you can file a complaint with the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB). Keep records of all rent payments and your lease agreement as evidence.

No, a landlord cannot increase your rent during a fixed-term lease. In Ontario, rent increases are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act. For most tenants, the landlord can only increase rent once every 12 months and must give at least 90 days written notice using the proper N1 form. The increase amount is also capped annually by the provincial rent increase guideline.
