Rental scams often start with a listing copied from somewhere else and posted by someone who does not own or manage the property. To protect renters, we confirm who you are before any of your listings is published. Renters see this: every listing on WWW.FOR-RENT.CA® comes from a verified landlord.
Who is verified
Verification applies to the Landlord account: it is the account that can publish listings. Tenant / Renter accounts browse rentals and send inquiries, and do not need to be verified.
What you can do right away
Creating your account takes a few minutes. Once you are signed in, you can complete your verification and prepare your properties and units as drafts. Nothing is shown to renters until your account is verified and your listing is approved.
Required before your first listing
These items are on your account setup checklist after you register. You complete them once, not for every listing.

Your rental organization
Even if you rent on your own, your listings belong to an organization: its name, address and the email that receives renter inquiries.
- Organization nameProvide the legal or operating name for this organization.
- Organization addressYour organization's legal, mailing or billing address. It is kept private and used for verification and official notices.
- Inquiry email routingChoose an active, verified email address for rental inquiry delivery.

Renting as a business?
If your rentals are owned or managed by a business, you choose its legal structure after registering, and additional documents are required for it. Business accounts must also turn on multi-factor authentication.
| Legal structure | Documents reviewed by our team |
|---|---|
| Corporation | Government-issued ID, Articles or certificate of incorporation, Business registration, Proof of organization address, Authorized representative proof |
| Sole proprietorship | Government-issued ID, Business registration, Proof of organization address |
| Partnership | Government-issued ID, Partnership agreement, Business registration, Proof of organization address, Authorized representative proof |
| Non-profit organization | Government-issued ID, Articles or certificate of incorporation, Non-profit or charity registration, Proof of organization address, Authorized representative proof |
For each listing
Once your account is verified, every listing also needs:
- Proof of insurance for the rental address, reviewed and current.
- At least one approved photo of the property and of each unit.
- Approval of the listing by our team.
- A paid publication period.
How it works
- Create your account. Choose Landlord and confirm your email.
- Complete your setup checklist. Add your details, verify your phone and upload your documents.
- We review your documents. Your checklist shows each document's status: pending, approved, or needing a correction.
- Publish. Submit your listing for approval and choose a publication period.
Your documents stay private
Verification documents are reviewed only by WWW.FOR-RENT.CA® staff, are stored privately and are never shown on your listings or to renters.
