Tenant.ca finds tenants for condos, apartments and houses in Scarborough, in Toronto's east end. One team sets the asking rent, markets the unit, answers enquiries, runs showings, screens applicants and prepares the Ontario Standard Lease. You choose the tenant.
Leasing a rental in Scarborough
Scarborough, in Toronto's east end, has a large base of high-rise apartments and condominiums around Scarborough Centre alongside bungalows and detached homes, many with basement apartments. Two-unit houses need clear arrangements for utilities, parking and shared spaces.
A vacancy leases when the asking rent matches comparable listings, the photos and description are accurate, enquiries are answered quickly and showings are easy to book. Placement covers that sequence from the first price check to a signed lease, then hands the tenancy and a documented move-in back to you.

Common questions
Tenant placement is one month's rent plus HST, charged once. At the Scarborough median asking rent of $2,300 in Tenant.ca's September 16, 2026 sample, the fee would be $2,300 plus HST; your fee follows the rent your own unit leases for. It covers the asking rent, marketing, enquiries, showings, screening and the Ontario Standard Lease.
It depends on the asking rent, the unit's condition, current demand and how easily showings can be arranged. If the listing is already live, share the enquiries and viewer feedback so the team can see where the process stalls. Tenant.ca does not promise a placement date.
Yes. Placement is a standalone service: once the lease is signed and the move-in is handed over, you run the tenancy. Ongoing management in Scarborough is optional and starts at $98 per month plus HST for condos and apartments and $148 per month plus HST for houses.
The marketing plan for your property sets out the channels, the listing content, how enquiries are followed up and any paid promotion. Confirm that plan with the team before work starts; do not assume every rental site or an MLS listing is included.
