How it works

Three steps between youand your keys.

No agents, no commissions, no runaround. Here is the entire journey — from first search to signed lease.

01

Browse & save

Every listing on Nestd is posted by the property owner and tied to a government-ID verification — no reposts, no bait listings, no agents fishing for your contact info.

Filter by neighbourhood, price, beds, pets, parking, and laundry

Natural-language search — try “2 bed under $2,500 in Leslieville”

Nestd Verified badges mark physically inspected homes

Save listings to compare and revisit

02

Apply in 5 minutes

One clean application goes straight to the landlord. Fill in your profile once and reuse it everywhere — employment, references, and documents stay attached to your account.

Your application, sent directly — no third-party portals

Message the landlord in-app with any questions

Track every application from your dashboard

Landlords see a ranked view and respond faster

03

Sign & move in

When the landlord accepts, the lease is generated from Ontario’s standard form — RTA-compliant by construction — and both sides sign online. Then you collect the keys.

Ontario RTA-compliant lease, built in

Digital signatures for both parties

Pay rent online and see your payment history

The owner keeps 100% of the rent — no commission skim

Questions

Asked & answered

Nothing, if you’re renting — browsing, applying, messaging, and signing are free for tenants, forever. Landlords list for free and pay a flat $99 success fee only when a lease is actually signed.
