Step Two: Use Different Resources

The Housing Guide is a great place to look for potential places to live, but there are other places to check as well. 

• The Classified section of your local newspaper usually lists rooms, apartments and houses for rent, 
• Housing help centres throughout the city can also offer assistance and may have a housing board that advertises current vacancies, 
• The Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) produces a weekly list of low-cost rentals in Toronto.  Contacting OCAP for this list could be very helpful if you are on a limited budget, 
• Simply walk around the neighbourhood that you are interested in - many landlords advertise vacancies in the windows of their buildings.
