Yes! The Joanne Goneau Team helps tenants find short-term and long-term rentals throughout Ottawa, and our rental search service is free for tenants. We also help landlords manage their rental properties, whether they live locally or need someone to look after their property while they’re away.
Whether you’re looking for your next place to live or need help managing a property you own, here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often.
Can a real estate agent help me find a rental in Ottawa?
Absolutely. Working with a real estate team isn’t limited to buying or selling a home. We also assist tenants who are searching for a rental.
A good place to start is a conversation about what you need: your preferred neighbourhoods, monthly budget, move-in date, and how long you’re planning to stay. Let us know about priorities such as parking, pets, outdoor space, or proximity to work.
Those details help us focus the search on properties that fit your circumstances and make the process easier to navigate.
Is your rental search service free for tenants?
Yes. Our service helping tenants find a rental is free for tenants.
You’ll still need to budget for the costs of renting your chosen property, such as rent and any utilities or parking charges included in your agreement. We can help you identify questions to ask about a listing so you have a clearer picture of what living there would cost.
If you’re unsure whether we can help with your particular search, just ask. You don’t need to be planning a home purchase to reach out.
Which areas of Ottawa do you serve?
We assist with rental searches throughout the Ottawa area.
You might already have a specific neighbourhood in mind, or you may need help narrowing down your options. Tell us where you work, how you prefer to get around, and what matters most in your daily routine.
Your search could focus on a central location, a suburban community, or somewhere that offers more space. We’ll use your preferences and budget to help guide the search, with options depending on current availability.
Can you help me find a short-term rental?
Yes, we can help you search for short-term rentals in Ottawa.
A shorter stay may suit someone relocating, working temporarily in the city, or needing accommodation between homes. Share your expected arrival and departure dates, whether you need a furnished property, and any flexibility in your plans.
Short-term options depend on availability and the terms offered for each property. Starting with clear dates and requirements helps us understand what to look for.
Do you also help with long-term rentals?
Yes. We help tenants looking for a longer-term home in Ottawa, too.
When you contact us, let us know your preferred lease length and move-in timeline. It’s also useful to separate your must-haves from features you’d simply like to have.
That gives the search a practical starting point and helps you weigh the available options.
Can you manage my Ottawa rental property?
Yes. Alongside helping tenants find rentals, we offer property management support for landlords.
We can help manage your rental from start to finish, whether you’re away from Ottawa or live nearby and would like support with the responsibility of overseeing it.
Every property and owner’s needs are different. We’ll discuss the services you need, the responsibilities we would take on, and the applicable fees before agreeing on an arrangement. The free tenant rental search service is separate from landlord property management services.
