Tenant Screening in Toronto
The Toronto market shapes how tenant screening gets done. One of the tightest rental markets in canada per cmhc, with vacancy below two percent in most submarkets. Tenancy here is governed by Residential Tenancies Act 2006, administered by the Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario, and every file we run stays compliant with it. Older high-rise condominium in Yorkville and The Annex rents differently than newer semi-detached and single family detached in Liberty Village, and we price and market each accordingly.
What's included
Inside the Toronto market, our tenant screening workflow starts with a market visit and pricing read, then we move to pull credit, run eviction history, verify identity, verify employment, and document the screening file. The recurring work we see here is full applicant screening package, expedited screening for time-sensitive vacancies, and re-screening on lease renewal. Owners care about default risk and fair housing compliance, and our reporting maps to that concern. We cover Yorkville, The Annex, and Liberty Village under one service standard across the 2,794,356 resident market. Toronto tenant screening work in our pipeline trends toward full applicant screening package in peak leasing season and and re-screening on lease renewal through the slower months.
