If you haven’t already, we will work with you to arrange to pick up the keys to your new home with your landlord, from the landlord’s real estate agent or the lockbox. Typically, landlords will require a key deposit, proof of insurance and utility set up before releasing keys - but this will be outlined in your agreement.

You agreement will outline the payment terms and date. If you are paying by cheques, you will be required to provide your landlord with post-dated cheques for the entire term of the lease. The dates should coincide with the date you agreed upon by both parties in your lease agreement.



In some cases, you can set up direct debit payments to your landlord, through your bank.

Depending on the type of home you are moving into (condo or home), and what is included in your lease, you will need to get your utilities set up. Be sure to activate your utilities for the day you move in. You can utilize our moving service, Move Snap to help you through these steps.

In most cases, it is mandatory to get tenant's insurance as per your Agreement of Lease. Even if it isn’t mandatory, we recommend you still consider it. Tenant’s insurance covers your belongings against common risks such as theft, fire, loss and much more at an affordable cost. You can purchase Tenant’s insurance through your bank of third-party insurance providers.
