Most Toronto condos say 'no pets' — but plenty of landlords are open to it. I know which buildings and landlords will actually say yes, and how to get your application approved.
Tell me about your pet and your budget — I'll filter from there.
I've helped renters with dogs and cats find units downtown. I know which buildings have hard 'no pets' policies and which ones are open to a good application.
A pet resume — photo, vet records, previous landlord references — makes a big difference. I'll walk you through exactly what to put together.
In Ontario, landlords cannot charge a pet damage deposit. If a landlord tries to, I'll flag it. I'll keep you informed about what's legal.
I'm a licensed agent with Keller Williams Referred Urban Realty focused entirely on downtown condo rentals. I work with renters directly — no handoffs, no assistants. When you send me your details, I pull from live MLS listings and send you a tight shortlist the same day.
Yes — but you have to know where to look. Some buildings have explicit pet policies; others have landlords who are open on a case-by-case basis. I filter for both and target landlord-owned units, which tend to be more flexible than corporate-managed buildings.
No — landlords in Ontario cannot legally require a pet damage deposit under the Residential Tenancies Act. Some will ask for one; I'll advise you if a request is outside the law.
Leslieville, the East End, and parts of Liberty Village tend to have more ground-floor and landlord-owned units that are open to pets. I'll factor your pet's size and breed into my search.
If you send me your budget, move date, and preferred areas, I can usually have a shortlist ready the same day. Good units in Toronto go fast — sometimes within 24–48 hours — so speed matters.
I'll reach out within a few hours with 4–6 matching listings from MLS. We'll chat about which ones fit best, book 1–3 showings, and submit a strong application together.
Absolutely. If you tell me your must-haves (transit access, walkability, noise level, budget) I can recommend neighbourhoods and specific buildings. I know the downtown core well and can steer you away from buildings with recurring issues.
