Searching for Housing

Here are some tips to make your housing search more effective!

1. Clearly define your needs

Whether you are looking for long-term housing, a temporary rental, a room, a roommate, or even a storage service, answer a few questions that will help guide your search:

  • How many rooms and how much storage space will you need?
  • What are the required sizes of these rooms and storage spaces?
  • Do you want to stay in a particular area – for example, based on proximity to your place of study or work and basic necessities (groceries, pharmacy, etc.)?
  • Do you want nearby transit access or parking?
  • What is your maximum budget for the payment of rent, considering the additional costs of lighting, heating and home insurance?

2. Contact a housing office that offers a housing search assistance service

If you are in an emergency situation, have lost your home or are at risk of losing it, some housing offices offer a housing search assistance service. You can also contact the SHQ Customer Relations Centre at 1 800 463-4315.

3. Be proactive by using the web and social media in your search

  • Social media is a very good way to stay up to date with offers, especially in Facebook’s Marketplace section Cet hyperlien s'ouvrira dans une nouvelle fenêtre..
  • Don’t forget traditional classifieds websites such as Kijiji Cet hyperlien s'ouvrira dans une nouvelle fenêtre., LesPAC Cet hyperlien s'ouvrira dans une nouvelle fenêtre. and LogisQuébec Cet hyperlien s'ouvrira dans une nouvelle fenêtre.. Alerts can be programmed according to your criteria.
  • Word of mouth and referrals: letting family and friends know you intend to move is always an effective strategy: they become your eyes and ears! Looking out for ‘For Rent’ signs on foot in a neighbourhood is also a good way to search.
  • Apartment hunter: some websites, like AppartMap Cet hyperlien s'ouvrira dans une nouvelle fenêtre., even offer an apartment hunting service.

4. Visit the following websites regularly

 

 

5. Know your discrimination and harassment rights

Every person has rights that must be respected by landlords or their agents. You are protected against discrimination and harassment:

  • When you rent housing
  • Throughout the period you occupy it

In fact, you cannot be treated differently on the basis of your personal characteristics, which is prohibited by the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.
