Rent A Place Ottawa

I was able to find a room in Ottawa with relative ease through the website. My experience with Rent-A-Place was great, I highly recommend the website if you are having difficulty finding a place to stay in Ottawa. The site is great for those who cannot visit Ottawa in person to view a room.

Max and Isabella were very helpful from the beginning of the process right down to the end. Even when there were some challenges during my lease they were available to help. Would definitely recommend Rent A Place for international students looking for housing in Ottawa.

Isabella was incredibly professional and helpful! I would highly recommend Rent A Place if you're looking to move to Ottawa and are from out of town. Isabella was always so quick to respond to all of my questions and inquiries. Overall, the process was super smooth and trustworthy. Thank you!

Overall, my experience was pretty good. To be honest, I was quite doubtful initially cause they say they only rent online. But I also realized that they mostly specialize in housing for people from out of town so I respect that. Myself and 2 of my friends ended up renting rooms in a house on Chapel St. The place was mostly as advertised except for a few things (couches instead of sofa, smaller dining table and a minor damage on my bedroom door), but the agent on the phone (Isabella) was pretty thorough explaining the discrepancies before our application was accepted so I appreciated their honesty. The landlord was pretty responsive in fixing issues whenever they came up. I'll probably end up re-using the service but I suggest carefully checking their virtual tour because my room was a bit smaller than what I expected base on the photos. I only realized that in the virtual tour after booking my room. But other than that, it was a pretty good experience.

I've rented at 2 places through Rent A Place, and both times I've had nice landlords and a good overall experience. I'd recommend them for international students, but also for locals who don't want to be fussed with buying a bunch of apartment furnishings :)

My experience with Rent-A-Place was pretty great! The team was very responsive and supportive in setting me up, and I really wouldn't have been able to navigate these tough times without them helping me. I would TOTALLY recommend Rent-A-Place to friends.

In a span of 3 to 5 days, I had secured housing through RentAPlace. I had been searching for a place for over two months until I found their site. It was fast, easy, and the personnel are very friendly and helpful. There is no other rental agency/platform like this in Ottawa—trust me, I have tried all others!

Please check the bad reviews .similar stories .i am sure they bought the good ones .To anyone interested in the whole story,I can provide screenshots .I paid for rentaplace which is thier process .then they get back to me 10 hours after payment via their messaging platform on the website. Everything they did indicated that they werent willing to do business with me .I strongly believe they have a stereotypical bias .So if you are diverse ,you really want to patronize a company that is inclusive of everyone They then asked if I saw the details of my booking and the people i will be living with which i did and i said to proceed .They rejected me on the basis on the basis that i wasnt a good fit with the remaining roomates .Please note that at this point there was no credit or reference check so it wasnt that .it was at the preliminary stages .After telling me to select anither olace which i did , they then said it would take another 24 to 72 hours on which i indicated i had been in airbnb which is expensive and wanted to ensure that the count is from the day i sought their service not from the point of swaping my request.i also asked if they will comply with what they mentioned on their site to oay for airbnb if thwy cant fufil the 72 hours processing times .Upon asking that isabella cancelled my payments after holding it for 2 days .I rejected other offers cos my money was already preauthorized by them and was waiting on them .Please note that she sent the rejection information shortly after telling me management wants me to fill my bio and upload my documents .Upon submitting and asking turn around time period ,she rejected and cancelled after taking all my data ,my time and making me go through all that stress .This company is going to collect your data on the basis of housing and God knows do what with it .I think they should be audited and given a diversity training as well .If you want proof ,i am happy to send you screenshots. I never comment on websites but this company is just one of a kind (in my sarcastic voice)

They took my first month rent payment t and kept if for 10 days then said the application has been rejected and I still haven't received my rent money back. They left me in a tough position cause I coulde secure another apartment without the fund they were holding onto with no merit. They said the money would come out of my account until the application was accepted meaning the apartment would be mine but it was accepted right away and 5 days later they informed me the apartment would be going to someone eles. I wouldn't have cared if they didn't take my money and gave it back right away but that's just not the case. Be cautious when giving your time to the people at rent a place. It may be a mistake. They are professional but they made it seem like it was my fault they took the money and couldn't get it back in a timely manner.SO MUCH ADDED STRSSED DURING AN ALREADY STRESSFUL TIME.

So glad I came across these guys given that the agents, thereby the service is incredible - and I hope it forever stays this way! It's my first time moving out, and everything was signed and finalized in 3 days just due to the mad efficiency. My search was so quick just because the apartments they have are of such quality. Their virtual tour is super useful as well.
