How do we start working on finding a rental unit together?
I recommend starting to look at units 2-3 months prior to moving at most, due to the fast paced nature of downtown rentals turning around. If you are already in a lease that is ending soon, please note that you will still need to provide 60 days notice to your current landlord in order to leave your lease. Ideally, you have an idea of when you are looking to move as we will need that information when submitting any offer together. I recommend having narrowed down your preferred neighbourhoods to 2-3 areas at most before we tour units – that way we can stack a few viewings together in a day/evening. Eventually, you may even narrow down to particular buildings that you want to move into as well. Have as narrow as a budget as possible, and also account for extra costs on top of rent, such as utilities, internet, tenant’s insurance, any extra locker/parking rental, and any other applicable expense.
What are the required documents needed to submit an offer?
When we are ready to officially work together, I will be representing you as your real estate agent. I will need from you your government issued photo ID, a current equifax/transunion credit report (within 3 months of date of application), the most recent 2 paystubs from your work, your last two landlord references, and rental application forms (Ontario form as well as real estate form). Some landlords may request for additional verification details as well.
What does it cost to work together?
I only get paid commissions if we have a successfully accepted offer together – the payment (typically 1 month’s rent) is comes from the landlord and is split between myself and their agent. Otherwise, all viewings and time we spend together are free of charge for as long as we are working together. If you already have a realtor you plan to submit offers with but do want viewing appointments only, I charge $200 per viewing appointment (up to 5 units within a neighbourhood). For each cluster of units we view together, I will always come on time and prepared with printouts as well as pdfs for your convenience.
I prefer to look for units on my own online – why work with a realtor?
Many of my customers also start off looking on their own – and there is nothing wrong with that! Gathering information and ensuring you eventually only work with someone you are completely comfortable with just makes sense. Typically, I encourage my clients to look online on search sites such as realtor.ca and condos.ca in order to find listings that they can then show me examples of what they like. Once you are ready to start your search and go on a rentals tour, we will decide on a date/time and you will provide a list of 3-5 places you are interested to see, within a neighbourhood ideally. We should meet a few times to hit different neighbourhoods and also to revisist places we missed or that we could not book for our time together (sometimes this may happen due to unit not being available at that time or if the unit has already been rented). Our viewing tour will consist of the places from your list that I am able to book and potentially any other similar units that I find up until the date we tour units together.
What are some things to look out for or consider when looking for a rental?
Every renter will have different priorities when looking for a new home – you may consider the price, square footage, layout of the space, interior features or finishes, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, availability of a separate workspace, ceiling height, neighbourhood, transit and walkability score, available amenities in the area, concierge/security services, the availability of amenities in the building, parking or locker space, utilities included, in-suite laundry, pet restrictions, view/exposure, availability of balcony, age of building, speed of elevators, tenant demographic within the building and neighbourhood, floor, proximity of unit to the garbage chute or elevator, etc.
I don’t have good credit, can you work with me?
I do work with most tenants. If there are items within your application that need extra attention, I will guide you on how you can strengthen your application to be competitive in the landlord’s eyes, and you ultimately can decide how you will structure your offer package. In some cases, extra reserve funds or a co-signer that appears as a co-tenant on the lease can be helpful; however it does come down to what the specific landlord of any particular unit will accept, and what other offers are on the table. Market conditions will also play a factor in how competitive any one offer is compared to others.
