How it works
No agents, no commissions, no runaround. Here is the entire journey — from first search to signed lease.
01
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
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
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
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.
