ValleyRent.ca
One of the hardest thing to do when moving to a new area to is secure a place to live. This is because, in a lot of cases, there isn’t enough time to make an informed decision. Either the job starts less than a week after you can get there or b7 the time you find out you are going, there isn’t much choice left. All the great deals are gone.
In Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley a site called ValleyRent.ca is making inroads into the rental market by giving apartment and home searchers and organized way of getting a rental. In addition, for landlords there is a special area to place your add with photos. And the nice thing about this service is that it’s free. So while other nationwide services cost about $1 a day ValleyRent.ca is bucking the system and charging zilch.
Here’s how it works: A prospective tenant or landlord goes onto the site and chooses between two huge buttons which then takes you to a filed to put in your information. For landlords such as me there is a sign-in page and then a control panel for editing, changing my profile, adding listings and even a forum for landlords to air their concerns and to share information.
For the next year ValleyRent.ca will be free and then it will go into a paid membership. For you renters the service will always be free.
This is a great matching service which puts both renter and landlord in the drivers’ seat.
Sign me up. I’ll keep on dreaming of getting out of “redneck hell!”
