Renter tips for Ontario
Know Your Budget
Having a clear picture of how much you are able and are willing spend puts things into perspective. It also adds an aura of focus into your search for rentals so that it is more comprehensive and faster.
Keep Photos of the Space
Documenting your stay at the rental unit from the day you move in too the day you leave will reduce the likelihood of a disagreement between you and your soon to be former landlord at the end of your lease as everything will be clear for all to see.
Talk to Tenants
Discussing the current living conditions with existing tenants will give a clearer picture of the complex and the landlord. The residents offer an inside-out perspective as opposed to the outside-in view you get from landlords and property managers.
Perform Online Research
Before you physically tour the area in which you would like to rent, check it out online and see what kind of news coverage the area receives. If there’s a good amount of positive coverage, you’re likely to be considering a good area. If the news coverage is less positive (gang activity or high unemployment), you’re likely considering a less stable community and environment.
Seek Legal Advice Before Signing any Documents
If you are unsure about any of the terms of your lease agreement it is best to seek legal advice from someone with direct knowledge of contract law. Legal advice can be costly, but the potential exposure of renting something without understanding the terms of the agreement could be infinitely more expensive.
