The Complete Guide to Renting Your Property in Canada—And How Ohmer Makes It Effortless
Renting out a home in Canada can feel like juggling MLS listings, showings, tenant screening, leases, payments, and maintenance—all at once. This guide walks you through the essentials and shows how Ohmer brings every step into one streamlined, AI-smart platform so you can list faster, screen smarter, and manage like a pro.
Step 1: Maximize Exposure with MLS—In a Snap
Getting your rental on MLS is the single best way to reach qualified tenants and reduce vacancy time. With Ohmer, you can list on MLS in minutes, ensuring your property shows up in front of more agents and renters, with cleaner inquiries and higher intent. Your listing flows directly into showings, applications, and screening—no tab-hopping, no manual re-entry.
Step 2: Tenant Screening That Protects Your Investment
Great tenants are the backbone of a successful rental. Ohmer puts credit checks (powered by Equifax), reference checks (employer, personal, and previous landlord), and ID-verified applications at your fingertips—so you can say yes with confidence. Problematic tenants can turn an investment into a nightmare; Ohmer’s robust screening process helps you filter risk early and keep your asset protected.

Ohmer’s built-in analytics and reporting show you income, expenses, and profitability over time, giving you instant visibility into your rental performance.
