Then, in addition to sorting by rental price with a sliding scale, you can adjust these filters to your search including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Housing Type<br><\/strong>&#8211; Condo     <br>&#8211; House<br>&#8211; Townhouse     <br>&#8211; Room <\/td><td><strong>Furniture<\/strong><br>&#8211; Any<br>&#8211; Unfurnished<br>&#8211; Furnished <\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Bedrooms <br><\/strong>&#8211; Any     <br>&#8211; Studio<br>&#8211; 1 Bed     <br>&#8211; 2 Bed<br>&#8211; 3 Bed     <br>&#8211; 4+Bed <br><br> <\/td><td><strong>Pet Policy<br><\/strong>&#8211; Any     <br>&#8211; Allowed<br>&#8211; Not allowed<br>&#8211; Dogs allowed<br>&#8211; Cats allowed  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"search-by-building\">2.

Likewise, if there&#8217;s a property management company or landlord you&#8217;re interested in, type in their name to see all the listings they manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Searching this way \u2014  by landlord or property manager pages, building pages, and building sub-pages \u2014 gives you hidden options most renters don&#8217;t know about.

Increasing your chances to secure a place (for international or first time renters)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>liv.rent is unique in that we can help people rent their first home in a new city before they even arrive. Select the <strong>&#8220;I do not live in Canada&#8221;<\/strong> option when completing your profile. Now, if a landlord sees your application, they have this information upfront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It allows them to easily understand why you don&#8217;t have a Canadian address or lack previous references they can call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s also the option to select <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m a first-time renter.&#8221;<\/strong> This is great for <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"international students (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2021\/07\/the-best-off-campus-housing-for-international-students-coming-to-canada-fall-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\">international students<\/a> and young people who are renting their first home. It also enables landlords to know why you lack previous landlord references and they&#8217;ll look for other ways to confirm your trustworthiness instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These two profile features,<strong> &#8220;I do not live in Canada&#8221;<\/strong> and <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m a first-time renter&#8221;<\/strong>, help to streamline communication and offer you a better chance at obtaining a rental. Without them, landlords might browse an application, see that it&#8217;s &#8220;missing&#8221; previous references, and move on to the next application because they think yours is incomplete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h3 id=\"trust-score\">4. Knowing what a&nbsp;Trust Score is<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An easy way to prove your trustworthiness as a renter to prospective landlords is by using our intelligent <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/10\/liv-score-updated\/\">Trust Score<\/a> rating system. Combining data from an Equifax credit report as well as our own AI algorithm, it&#8217;s a score out of 100 that helps position you as an ideal tenant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick explanation by our Client Success Specialist Apoorva Ashok:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Watch now: How To Understand Your Trust Scor<\/em><\/strong>e<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"liv.rent Basics - How To Apply To Multiple Listings\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jdOy6wV6t6A?start=122&#038;feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"talking\" style=\"color:#FE5F55\">3.

Signing &amp; renewing leases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can review, sign, send, and renew leases for rental agreements in B.C. and Ontario on the liv.rent platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2021\/01\/ontario-standard-lease-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ontario Standard Lease Explained<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/09\/residential-tenancy-agreement-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">BC Residential Tenancy Agreement Explained<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digital contracts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because paper leases are onerous and wasteful, at liv.rent we do digital contracts instead. Easy to read, sign, and send either online or in-app \u2014 they save you time and get you the keys to your next place faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Custom addendums<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While liv.rent provides the basic lease to your landlord, they may choose to add their own custom addendums. When reviewing the terms of your lease, pay extra attention to these portions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lease extensions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a renter, pay attention to what the lease says will happen after the lease ends. In B.C. and Ontario, after a basic lease &#8220;expires,&#8221; it&#8217;s transitioned into a month-to-month rental agreement \u2014 unless a landlord has added something to the lease about vacating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the lease term is up, you and your landlord may decide to sign another lease. However, you are not required to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 2px solid lightcoral; text-align: center; margin: 30px 0; padding: 20px; color: #BD8D7C;\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px;margin: 0;\"><b>Read more:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/2019\/10\/landlord-guide-end-extend-tenancy-agreement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to End or Extend a Tenancy Agreement\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"rent\" style=\"color:#FE5F55\">6.
