Who we serve

Representation for Renters Searching in Ontario

We act for tenants across Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton and Kitchener-Waterloo, working out what they are really looking for, then searching, arranging viewings and negotiating the tenancy on their behalf.

Finding a place to rent in Ontario is mostly a volume problem. There is a great deal to read and very little of it is written for your situation. Avenue Business Consultancy takes the opposite approach. We start with a conversation about where you need to be, what you can comfortably carry each month, when you have to move and what you would be willing to trade away. That becomes the brief we work from, rather than a general search you run alone.

From there we act for you. We give you an honest read on what your requirements look like in the community you are aiming for, whether that is downtown Toronto, Mississauga, Barrie or London, and where a small adjustment would open up a good deal more. We search on your behalf, arrange the viewings, put your application together so it reads well, and negotiate the rent and the terms with the landlord or their brokerage. We stay on the file through the tenancy agreement and the move-in date.

Start With a Conversation

Tell us what you are looking for and where. We will give you an honest picture of that part of Ontario and set out how we would act for you to get there.

What you get

How we help

A Brief That Reflects Real Priorities

We separate what you need from what you would like and put it in writing. Most people find that the exercise on its own makes the search a good deal clearer.

An Honest Read on Your Range

We will tell you plainly what your monthly range tends to reach in the community you are aiming for, and what changes if you look a transit stop or two further out.

Someone Acting on Your Side

Instead of sending the same message into a queue, you have a brokerage that approaches landlords for you, books the viewings and puts your case properly.

Less Time Spent on Dead Ends

We ask the practical questions first: availability, utilities, parking, pets, lease term. You see the units that fit and skip the ones that never would have.

Ontario Communities We Follow

Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Hamilton, Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, Kingston, Windsor, Oshawa, Barrie and the Niagara region.

Support Through to the Keys

We are with you at the viewings, we prepare and present the application, we negotiate the terms, and we read the tenancy agreement with you before you sign it.

Step by step

What working with us looks like

  1. First Consultation

    Tell us where you need to be, when you need to move, what you can carry each month and who is moving with you. Twenty minutes is usually enough to start.

  2. Needs Analysis

    We turn that into a short brief and give you a straight read on what it is likely to reach in that part of Ontario, including where a small change would widen your options.

  3. Search and Viewings

    We search on your behalf, approach landlords and their brokerages, and arrange the viewings worth your time, with your position already set out for them.

  4. Application, Negotiation and Lease

    We prepare and present your application, negotiate the rent and the terms, go through the tenancy agreement with you and stay with the file through to move-in.

Questions

Common questions

We set out the scope and the fee in a written representation agreement at the first conversation, before you decide whether to go ahead, and nothing is left to be worked out later. Where a fee would fall to you rather than to the landlord's side, you will hear that plainly at the outset. If the honest answer is that you do not need us, we will say so.

Yes. We act for you as your brokerage: we search, we approach landlords, we arrange viewings, we present your application and we negotiate the terms. We cannot promise a particular unit, because the decision to accept an application belongs to the landlord. What we can do is make sure your case is clear, realistic for the community you are aiming at, and put properly in front of the right people.

Your target communities, your move-in window, your monthly range, household size and anything that is not negotiable, such as parking, a pet or ground floor access. The more direct you are, the more useful the brief will be.

Yes. We prepare the application and the supporting material, coordinate references and the checks the landlord asks for, negotiate the rent and the terms, and go through the tenancy agreement with you line by line before you sign. You make the decisions. We do the work around them.
