Utilize social media tools such as Facebook and LinkedIn. You can also narrow your searches to verified landlords and\/or properties on the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"liv.rent (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/features\" target=\"_blank\">liv.rent<\/a> rental platform. This means their business licenses and land title documents have been verified against city registries; thus, lending reassurance that you are dealing with a legitimate entity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid lightcoral; text-align: center; margin: 20px 0%; padding: 20px; color: #BD8D7C;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px;\"><b>&gt;&gt; Recommended Reading:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/07\/how-to-protect-yourself-from-rental-scams-in-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to protect yourself from rental scams in Canada<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"diversify-search\">4. Diversify your search<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although we certainly advise using liv.rent to find verified listings in Toronto, you may need to look elsewhere in order to find a place on a tight deadline. You can use other platforms like 4rent, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Walk Score (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.walkscore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Walk Score<\/a> and Kijiji to broaden your search. Just be sure to be cautious of rental scams if you&#8217;re using a platform that doesn&#8217;t verify listings and landlords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 5px solid aliceblue; text-align: center; margin: 20px 0%; padding: 20px\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #3E5B77; margin: 0;\"><strong><a href=\"#toc\">Back To Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"have-all-information\">5. Have all the necessary information to apply<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to act quickly on a property, make sure you have evidence of employment and income. Valid proof includes bank statements, pay stubs, tax statements, and letters of employment. Other alternatives include job offer letters or student loan financial statements. It is also important to have references (ideally, previous landlords).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On liv.rent, once you\u2019ve completed your <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"renter profile (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/10\/verification-process\/\" target=\"_blank\">renter profile<\/a>, this will serve as the only application you need to apply for multiple properties.
