Advanced Rental Search

You know what you want in a rental. So, don’t waste time contemplating homes that don’t match that! Using our advanced rental search tool you can select specific options that match just what you are looking for. Once you have entered in the city of your choosing, simply click the ‘More Filters’ button and narrow down your search. In this advanced searchyou can select options such as:

Advanced Search - Finding a Rental

  • Price Range
  • Type of Home
  • Number of Bedrooms
  • Number of Bathrooms
  • Utilities
  • Pet Friendly
  • Parking
  • Other Home Features

Then, once you have decided what you need in a home, hit ‘Search’ and scroll through rentals in your desired location that will have everything to meet your needs!

 

Accommodation Wanted

Are you flexible on which home you rent? Perhaps you require something specific that goes beyond advanced search options. If this is the case then you have the opportunity to create an ‘Accommodation Wanted’ ad on Rentfaster. In doing this you can specify what it is you are looking for and wait for landlords reach out to you.

 

Community Information

If you are unsure of where to live in a city, it is helpful to have an understanding of the different areas and communities. Under the ‘Menu’ button you will find the option to view community information for various Canadian cities. You can take a look at each community and learn more about the closest bus and LRT routes, view the rental stats, and see where the nearest schools are. Get to know the area before choosing a rental!

Note: Community Information is only available for certain major Canadian cities.

We also have a blog that features certain cities and communities throughout Canada, so take a scroll through and see if we touched on yours!
