RentWho this is for
For newcomers, anyone between homes and anyone who wants to try a neighborhood before buying in it
Renting here is not a fallback — for many people arriving from another country it is the only sensible first year. But the market runs on rules newcomers rarely expect: the season sets the price, most condominium boards approve tenants themselves and charge for the privilege, and a landlord will look at your credit history before your budget. Knowing this before you start saves both money and a month of refusals.
What we focus on
Most condominium boards approve tenants and charge an application fee
Credit history and proof of income are checked before anything else
Annual leases price very differently from seasonal ones
A year of renting is the cheapest way to learn whether a neighborhood suits you
