Planing to Rent?

Why do I need an agent when renting a condo/house?
These days more and more people choose to rent with an agent and list their properties for rent on MLS. Having an agent means having access to all those properties. Agent that works for you will be able to negotiate better deal for you and the best part - it's free.

Which documents do I have to provide when renting a condo/house?
Most of the landlords ask for the following documents:

  • Rental Application
  • Employment Letter or proof of income
  • Credit Report with FICO credit score.

Why do I have to provide my credit report?
Landlords want to be sure you are able to pay for your rent. Even if you go to apartment building - they will do creadit reports on their own. The catch is - each enquiry lowers your credit score unless that enquiry is made by you.

Where can I get my credit report?
You can do it online or you can go to Equifax office
