    Thank you for the advises, I also just recently moved to Canada (Toronto) and also opened a youtube channel. I can say, that it is very difficult to rent an apartment in Canada, much more difficult than in other countries, but if you read this comment, you will make it :)

    One very important thing for anyone who is renting - buy renter’s insurance. Make sure you have adequate coverage for replacement costs for any of your belongings, and for relocation costs if there is a fire, or other disaster.

    I've read that (for Montreal) simply walking around the area that interests you and looking for "for rent" signs may be a good idea. In looking up online apartment listings, something I am noticing is that there is somewhat of a "hollowing out of the middle" with those who advertise their apartments online; meaning that the online listings seem to consist of a few very nice and very expensive rentals that have very positive reviews and MANY listings that have very bad reviews (and I am not even looking up places with below average rental prices). It makes me think that for an average priced decent place that a landlord may not even need to advertise and good word of mouth gets around and if one walks through the area and sees the building that they can see the apartment right away and do their own "smell test". What do you think?

    Renting a apartment is the same as in the Netherlands. All the documents that you need. The only difference is the payment. Cash/check is not allowed in the Netherlands. If you need to pay cash than probably your landlord is scatchy.

    Hi Julia, nice video. One question regarding tenancy/lease durations which I have not seen addressed in videos: do any rental agencies even consider short-term leases (i.e. six months or less)? It seems that according to the Quebec renting code leases can theoretically be of any duration, even rolling month-month? I appreciate how it simply isn't in landlord/agency interest to rent for short periods, but just wondered what degree of flexibility is out there. Any information from anyone appreciated.
