How to rent a house in Ottawa

So, if you come to Ottawa, the first thing you do in the morning is to remember to go to the street newsstand and buy a copy of the Ottawa Citizen. If you plan to rent an apartment, you need to get another RentNews for free. Then, you can find a lot of special rental information from newspaper columns. If there are two or three couples, it is better to rent an apartment alone, which is more convenient. But some apartments need you to have a job or a friend with a job as a guarantee, so be sure to ask clearly when looking for a house. Generally speaking, houses in Ottawa are rented with refrigerators and electric stoves, which is stipulated by the government. Electricity is also used for heating in winter, so the monthly electricity bill will be a big number. So when asking about the rent, remember to ask whether the electricity bill is included. If you rent an apartment, you need to sign a one-year contract and pay one month's rent in advance as a deposit. The first month's rent was paid on the first day of moving in. Wait until the contract expires in the last month before paying the rent. Pay the rent directly with the deposit. However, as new immigrants have just arrived, many still don't know where they will live in three or four months, so it is recommended to find an apartment to sublet. In fact, the original tenant needs to move, but the contract period is not satisfactory, so he will let you renew the lease for three or four months, or even longer, so you don't have to sign a one-year contract at a time. Moreover, in this case, you may get some free small furniture or daily necessities from the original tenant. If you are single, you can find an apartment or house with or without boards in the newspaper. Generally, you should talk to the landlord about the kitchen and bathroom, and some foreigners don't like China people to cook, so you must ask clearly when looking for a house. When you find a house, there will be a corresponding formal rental contract, which is actually the basis of your life in Ottawa. I will use it many times in the future, so I must take good care of it. If there is no subletting contract, you must also remember to ask the landlord for a rent receipt, which is one of the documents for your tax return and must be properly kept.
