Renting in a new city, before you land
How our relocation desk finds, checks and signs a lease for you while you are still packing.
By Tara Lin
Most of the families our rentals desk helps have never seen the neighbourhood they will live in. Here is how we make that work.
A short brief
We start with a thirty-minute call: commute, schools, budget, pets, and how you like to live.
Video walkthroughs
We shortlist five homes and walk each one live on video, opening cupboards and testing taps.
The lease
We negotiate, check the owner's papers and handle the registration, so your keys are waiting when you land.
