Looking to rent in Peterborough?

We've created a complete guide to finding the perfect spot in town!
Owned and managed by one company (versus a bunch of individual owners), apartment buildings aren’t as numerous as you might think in Peterborough. There haven’t been very many new apartment buildings built in the last few years.There are still some quality (albeit older) buildings out there that periodically have vacancies.

With more and more people wanting to live in Peterborough, many Peterborough home-owners have converted part of their home into an apartment (or two). While many of these are basement apartments, some houses have been converted into several apartments. The biggest advantage of renting a house is the opportunity to live in a residential neighbourhood, often with private outdoor space and sometimes even parking!

WHERE TO LOOK?
There are tons of online resources to help potential tenants find a rental. Craigslist and Kijiji, while popular for finding an apartment, can be scam central. Make sure never to give a deposit before physically seeing the apartment and confirming that the person you’re talking to does, in fact, own it or manages it. And if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
