What documents do I need to rent in Canada

The documents you need depend on how you are renting and from whom. If you are subletting a room for a few weeks from the original renter, you may need to give only your first payment in advance. While if you are renting from an agency, you will need more paperwork.

When choosing a place, you want to consider how expensive it is for you, both in terms of money and time, to get all the documents that the agency or the owner asks you.

• Proof of first payment, if it’s not in cash;
• Proof of payment of a deposit, which can be one month of rent or more;
• Valid identification that can be a driver’s license, a national identification card, or a passport;
• A lease agreement is a formal document that explains your agreement with the landlord;
• A credit check is any documentation showing you have enough income to pay rent.
