Leasing across Canada

40.5M population. 5.0M rental households. $2,150 median 2-bed rent. Six provinces, 44 anchor cities, one disciplined leasing standard — from a single basement suite to a 500-door purpose-built lease-up.

Two countries, same standard

Built by a Canadian operator — for Canadian landlords.

MoveSmart was founded in the Greater Toronto Area in 2019 — long before we ever crossed into the U.S. Every province below was opened by an owner who has filed an N12, walked a CMHC absorption report, and sat through an LTB hearing. We grew south of the border only after the Canadian playbook was proven across six provinces and 44 cities. The same lease-quality bar, screening discipline, and pricing rigour you read about in our American pages was built here first — by a team that still calls home the country in this hub.

Why MoveSmart in Canada

Built for Canadian landlords.

Three things every Canadian owner, PMC, and developer needs from a leasing partner — and the disciplined version of each we deliver.

RECO, RECA and OREA-compliant leasing

Provincially licensed brokerage execution. Every lease, deposit and disclosure follows the Real Estate Council of Ontario, Alberta, and provincial-equivalent rules — no grey-area shortcuts that put your file at risk.

CMHC-aligned pricing intelligence

We price against the same CMHC Rental Market Report data the lenders use. Comparable-set analysis at the unit level, refreshed every cycle, so listings hit market within 7 days at or above asking.

Brick-and-mortar offices in anchor metros

Boots-on-the-ground showings in the GTA, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and Halifax. We meet your tenant in person — never a lockbox-and-pray showing strategy.

Frequently Asked

Leasing in Canada,answered

Yes. Our leases are drafted to the Residential Tenancies Act of each province we serve — the standardised Form 2229 in Ontario, the TAL-mandated lease in Quebec, the Residential Tenancy Branch lease in BC, and the equivalent in Alberta, Manitoba, and Nova Scotia. Every clause is reviewed for the local act before tenants sign.
