Read the guide →Questions, answered.
Does it really cost tenants nothing?
Yes. In most rentals the landlord pays the leasing fee. You do not pay me for the match, the showings, or the lease.
What documents do I need?
Most landlords ask for photo ID, an employment letter, recent pay stubs, and a credit report. A reference from a past landlord helps too. You can start your profile without all of it and add documents as you go.
How fast can I start touring?
Most renters are touring within about two days of sending their profile. It depends on your budget, your areas, and what is available.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole GTA, with a deep focus on Milton, Oakville, Mississauga, and Toronto. Tell me where you want to be and I will find what fits.
Is my information safe?
Your profile goes straight to me. I share it with a landlord or their agent only when you are ready to apply to a specific unit.
I own a unit. Can you help me lease it?
Yes. Head to the Landlords page to request a rent estimate and see how I screen tenants before showings.

How it works for landlords.
Three steps from empty unit to signed lease.
1. Price it right
Tell me about the unit. I review comparable rentals nearby and give you a realistic rent range.
2. Meet qualified tenants
Your listing gets in front of renters from my active pool, who arrive with their documents organized.
3. Lease and handover
I coordinate showings, applications, the lease, and the keys, so you are not chasing anyone.
What is included.
Everything you would expect from an agent who treats your unit like their own listing.
- MLS exposureYour unit on the board and in front of active renters.
- Rent pricing guidanceBased on comparable units, not guesswork.
- Showings coordinatedI schedule and run them around your availability.
- Application reviewComplete applications with supporting documents, ready for you to review.
- Lease preparationPaperwork handled through the brokerage using the Ontario Standard Lease.
- Move-in supportKey handover and a smooth start for your new tenant.
Screened before the showing.
Tenants complete a full profile before I book a single tour, so you only meet serious applicants.
- IdentityGovernment-issued photo ID.
- Income and employmentEmployment letter and recent pay stubs.
- CreditCredit report or credit range on file.
- Rental historyReferences from past landlords where available.
Landlords make the final decision on every tenant. All screening is done in line with the Ontario Human Rights Code.
Request a rent estimate.
Share a few details about your unit. I will reach out within one business day with a rent range and next steps.
By submitting this form, you agree to be contacted by Paul Karagianakos, Real Estate Salesperson with RE/MAX Experts, Brokerage. A rent estimate is an opinion based on comparable rentals, not an appraisal or a guarantee. If you are currently under a listing or service agreement with another brokerage, this is not intended to solicit that relationship.
Landlord questions.
What does it cost to lease my unit?
Fees depend on the property and the agreement. Request a rent estimate and I will walk you through the terms upfront, in writing, before anything is signed.
How do you screen tenants?
Every renter completes a profile and provides supporting documents before I book a tour. You see their application and decide who gets the unit.
How fast can my unit be rented?
It depends on the price, the condition, and the season. Priced correctly, well-presented units in the GTA tend to move quickly, and I will give you an honest read on timing.
Do I need to be there for showings?
No. I coordinate and run showings around your availability. If you prefer to be there, that works too.

Renting in Ontario, explained.
Quick answers to the questions renters ask me most.
What do I need to apply?
Most landlords want proof that you can pay and that you are reliable. A strong package usually includes:
- Government-issued photo ID
- An employment letter and recent pay stubs
- A credit report
- A reference from a previous landlord
- A Notice of Assessment if you are self-employed
Have these in one tidy file before you tour. When a unit is right, the first complete application often wins.
What can a landlord ask me to pay upfront?
In Ontario, a landlord can generally ask for first month's rent, a last month's rent deposit, and a refundable key deposit. Landlords generally cannot ask for a security or damage deposit.
Rules can change, so confirm the current details with the Government of Ontario before you pay anything.
How do I make my application stand out?
- Apply with complete documents on the first try
- Be ready with a clear move-in date
- Include a short note about who you are and why you are a great tenant
- Respond quickly when the landlord or agent reaches out
What should I check in the lease?
Most residential leases in Ontario use the province's standard lease form. Before you sign, read the details closely:
- Rent amount, due date, and how it is paid
- Lease start date and term
- What is included: heat, water, hydro, parking, locker
- Rules about guests, subletting, and ending the lease early
If something looks off, ask before you sign. A good agent will walk you through it.
What should I do on move-in day?
- Book the elevator or loading dock if your building requires it
- Take dated photos of the unit's condition before you unpack
- Set up tenant insurance, utilities, and internet in advance
- Confirm your keys, fobs, and parking details
How do I avoid rental scams?
- Never send money before you have seen the unit and verified who you are dealing with
- Be wary of listings priced far below similar units
- Confirm the person you are working with is a registered real estate professional
- Pay by traceable methods and always get a receipt
These guides are general information, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm current details at ontario.ca or with a qualified professional before you rely on them.

Hi, I'm Paul Karagianakos, a GTA real estate professional and top-producing REALTOR® with RE/MAX Experts.
I built GTALeaseNow because I know how stressful renting can feel. Searching through endless listings, figuring out what you can afford, gathering documents, booking showings, and trying to secure the right place can quickly become overwhelming.
I've been through the process myself, so I understand what it feels like to be on the other side. My goal with GTALeaseNow is simple: make renting easier, more organized, and as stress-free as possible.
Instead of wasting time on properties that don't fit, I want to understand what you're looking for from the start, help you find the right options, and guide you through the process from the first search to getting the keys.
Every rental profile that comes through GTALeaseNow is personally reviewed by me. There's no call centre or hand-off team. Just straightforward advice, personal service, and someone in your corner throughout the process.
Your next place shouldn't have to be stressful. That's why I built GTALeaseNow.
