RentHome.ca was created to serve two major needs:
1. To give tenants a highly detailed resource for finding a large inventory
of rental listings in the area. Features such as a powerful search interface
and lots of photos as well as complete details about the property were part
of the criteria that tenants demanded. To quote many of the tenants that we
interviewed, "A picture is worth a thousand words." We accomplish
this goal by answering almost every question that a tenant could possibly
have about each of our listings on the detail page, from price, to area, to
deposit, to pet policies. This kind of attention to detail does not exist in
any other local rental classifieds. Best of all, our service is free for tenants.
2. To give local landlords and property managers a quality and effective alternative
to print advertising that is not only less expensive, but much more highly
detailed than print ads. This website is designed to help landlords and
property managers accomplish their ultimate goal: lease their properties to quality
tenants in a timely manner and with a minimum amount of hassle and cost. We
help accomplish these goals by bringing thousands of highly targeted
potential tenants from all over the country to our website every single day.
99% of these users will be renting property in an area in the next 0-90 days.
As a landlord or property manager, you know that vacancies cost you time and money. The longer
your property sits vacant the more money you lose in lost rent, mortgage payments, utility and
maintenance payments, advertising, and dozens of other costs.
Consider this typical 30-day vacancy:
|
Lost rent or mortgage payment . . . . . . |
$900 |
|
Utilities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . |
$70 |
|
Miscellaneous expenses (yard, etc.) . . |
$50 |
|
Advertising in your local paper . . . . . . . |
$100-$600 |
This typical vacancy would cost a landlord between $37-$54 PER DAY!
Just imagine how painful a 60 or 90 day vacancy can get. Have you been there
before, are you there now? RentHome.ca will drastically reduce your vacancy
time. We do this by attracting a tremendous amount of tenants to our website.

Traditional Advertising
How many hours do you spend on the phone talking to tenants that know very
little about your property because the ad in the paper looked something like this:
3 BR 2BATH $900
2 Car Gar, North Side
Call Betty 555-1234
Your conversation with the potential tenant will probably go like this..
"Hi, I'm calling about the ad in the paper. What is the address? How big
is it? Is it close to schools? What is the deposit? Does it have a Washer and
Dryer? Is there a basement? What does it look like? Can I get directions? Oh,
by the way I have two 90 pound dogs, is that okay?"
Advertising on RentHome.ca
With RentHome.ca you can enter as much information as
you want and post up to eight (8) pictures. The phone calls you get from potential
tenants with RentHome.ca will be something like this..
"Hi I saw your ad on RentHome.ca and I would like to take a look at it. What time is good for you?"
Which phone call would you rather take?
How many hours do you waste showing your property to unqualified tenants?
How many times has someone shown up only to say this isn't what I expected or wanted?
With RentHome.ca the tenants already know exactly what you have to offer and
since they can map it on our website, they have probably already driven by.
Only very serious tenants will set up showings. This could save you hours of
lost travel time.
Isn't it worth the 5-10 minutes it will take you to place your ad on
RentHome.ca to save hours of personal or business time? If you're still not
sure, listen to what some of our customers have to say:
Dear RentHome.ca:
What a great service you are providing! I rented my apartment in just one week after placing

Thanks!
