Licences and rules for landlords

In Vancouver, a home you rent out for 90 days or more at a time needs a long-term rental business licence, even if you hire a property manager. Ask the landlord or manager to show it before you sign. Rules differ from city to city, so check the local requirements for the place where the house is.

Winter and the move-in date

December to February is the cold season in all five cities on this list, and moving a household in snow and ice is harder. If you can choose, pick a move-in date in spring or in summer, June to August, when the weather is warmer. Put the move-in date in your request, because it decides which houses are free at the time you need them.

How rent is quoted

Rent is quoted per month. Utilities are often added on top of it: some listings show a rent figure plus a separate utilities fee, so ask what is included before you agree. Furnished houses are often listed separately, so say whether you need furniture. Ask for the floor area in square metres, because many listings give square feet.

What to write in your request

Name the district or city, the monthly rent you can pay, the number of rooms and the floor area in square metres. Add the lease term, the move-in date, who will live in the house and whether utilities are included. Say if you want it furnished, and say whether you prefer to deal with the owner directly rather than through an agent.
