Do You Allow Pets?
Tricon Residential is pet-friendly and accepts most dogs, cats, birds, small caged mammals and fish. For the later, an aquarium may not be larger than a 20-gallon tank, and it will require proof of insurance for the entire term of the lease.
Pets must be licensed and have current vaccinations that are kept current throughout the duration of your lease. Dogs and cats should wear an identification collar tag with the owner’s name, address, and contact information. If your pet were to escape, we want to do everything possible to ensure they are returned home safely.
How Do I Apply For a Rental Home?
You’ve found a home you love! Now, it’s time to make it yours. To apply, go to the home’s listing page and click on “APPLY NOW.” Review the Terms of Agreement and Qualification Criteria, then click the “START APPLICATION” button. We charge an application fee per applicant ($55 or less, depending on the state), and a $250 refundable holding deposit to “hold” the home while your application is in process. This refundable holding deposit takes the home off the market and “holds” it while your application is in process. Once you move in, the holding deposit is credited to your first month’s rent. If you’re approved and you choose not to move into the home, Tricon Residential will retain the holding deposit. If an applicant is declined, the refundable holding deposit is reimbursed.
It’s important to provide Tricon Residential with an accurate email address for each lessee, as each applicant needs to sign the lease using a separate email address. Within 24 hours of submitting the application, screening documentation will need to be provided, including income verification, rental history, and two forms of government-issued identification. Tricon Residential will begin the screening process when all the supporting documents are received. If supporting documentation is not provided within 24 hours, the application will be canceled.
You’ll be notified of the outcome within 24 hours of applying and providing all necessary documentation. You can check the status of your application at any time by returning to the “Start Application” web page and clicking on “Check the status of your application.”
How Much Is My Security Deposit?
Your security deposit amount is equal to one times the monthly rent of the home.
What Are My Move-In Costs?
Fees you should expect to pay up to the point of move-in include:
- Application fee(s) and hold deposit
- Security deposit
- Rent: The first month’s rent is prorated for the current month. If you move in before the 25th day of the month, you will pay only the prorated portion of the current month. When you move in on the 25th or later, you will pay the prorated current month plus next month’s rent.
- Pet fees, if applicable
Other expenses you can expect related to moving into your new home may include:
- Utility services set up, such as electric, gas, water, telephone, cable or satellite television, internet, security, and waste management service
- Moving services
- Renters Insurance
What Are The Fees?
To apply, there is a rental application fee per applicant for screening ($55 or less, depending on the state), and a $250 refundable holding deposit. This refundable holding deposit takes the home off the market and “holds” it while your application is in process. Once you move in, the $250 refundable holding deposit is credited to your first month’s rent. If you’re approved and you choose not to move into the home, Tricon Residential will place the home back on the market for rent and retain the holding deposit. If an applicant is declined, the refundable holding deposit is reimbursed.

Viewing a Home
Can I Attend an Open House?
An open house is less personalized than the guided tour, but still a great way to see a home. Typically held on weekends, the available rental home is open to all interested renters. Although it is not necessary, you are encouraged to register online to attend. To register, click on the “TOUR THIS HOME” link located on the individual home’s listing page with the date and time, which will only be visible if an open house is scheduled.
Can I Self-Tour a Rental Home On My Own?
Yes! You can self-tour most of our available rental homes. This option is ideal when you want to tour on your own time and at your own pace. You can set up a self-tour with a few simple steps starting from the home listing you’re interested in touring. Tours are available 7 days a week from 7 am to 7 pm. Plus, when you register and pay the $1.99 fee for self-tour access, you tour any available Tricon home for up to 60 days.
To request self-tour access from a home’s featured listing page, click on the “Self-Tour” button, then complete and submit the online registration. A small fee is required for identification verification. Once your identification is verified and payment received, you’ll receive instructions for accessing the home. After you tour the home, remember to lock the door on your way out.
How Do I Schedule a Rental Home Tour With a Leasing Agent?
Guided tours are an excellent way to get information about a home and the community, and to answer any questions you may have. Arrange a tour with a Leasing Agent by clicking on “TOUR THIS HOME” on the individual home’s listing page. Complete and submit your “request a showing” registration. A Tricon Residential Leasing Agent will follow up with you within 48 hours. If for any reason you do not hear from a Tricon Residential representative within 48 hours, please contact our Resident Services Center at 844 874 2661.
Always ensure that you are provided credentials that clearly show the agent is a representative of Tricon Residential. All official Tricon Residential Leasing Agents have a company-issued ID that they should show upon first meeting you. With the high incidence of fraud in the rental housing industry, it is important to ensure you’re dealing with an authorized agent of the home.
How Do I Tour a Tricon Residential Rental Home?
Once you’ve found a rental home you like, how do you go about touring it before you ultimately make it your own? It’s easy and you’ll find choices for touring on your terms. You can self-tour a rental home on your own when it’s at your convenience for you, schedule a personalized tour with a Tricon Residential Leasing Agent, or attend an open house. Before you consider an in-person tour, be sure to view a home’s floor plan, and utilize Tricon Residential’s 360-degree virtual tour.
What Does “Coming Soon” Mean?
When a rental is listed as “Coming Soon” on our website, it means the home is undergoing cleaning and/or maintenance. You may also see an anticipated “move-in ready” date. If you’re interested in touring a home listed as coming soon, be sure to get on the home’s request a showing list by completing and submitting the “TOUR THIS HOME” form. A Tricon Residential Leasing Agent will follow up with you to provide further information and schedule a tour.
When Should I Start My Search for a Rental Home or Apartment?
It is possible to search for a Tricon Residential rental, tour the home, and move in within a week. Of course, not everyone wants to move that fast. It’s best to allow yourself ample time to search different Tricon Residential offerings and familiarize yourself with the neighborhood to ensure that the home you select is one you’ll love. When you find a Tricon home you love, keep in mind we are able to hold homes for a maximum of ten (10) days.
If timing is critical, the quickest way to see a home is by completing a self tour. To self tour, your identification will need to be verified and a small tour fee collected, then you’ll receive a lockbox access instructions. Once this happens, you are free to tour the home at your convenience. If you love it, you can submit a rental application.
