🏡FINDING A VANCOUVER APARTMENT ADVICE ~
Since Vancouver is pretty popular right now and tons of people are tryna move here, it can be tough to secure a place. I wasn't kidding when I said I emailed 45 places and only heard back from 7... It takes time and consistency.
🏡Where to search for places -
The top 4 places I recommend the most are Facebook MarketPlace, Craigslist, Padmapper, and Zumper (all linked below). Facebook and Craigslist postings are usually created by the owners of the apartments themselves, meaning sometimes they may have cheaper rent, and they may not ask you for as much information like reference letters and other things (depends on the owner).

- vancouver.craigslist.org/d/ap...
- www.padmapper.com/apartments/...
- www.zumper.com/apartments-for...
🏡Information you may get asked for -
Many landlords want to see if you are a good tenant and that you can actually afford the place you are inquiring about. Normal things you may get asked for; Reference letter from a previous landlord, employment records or bank statements, yearly salary/ earnings,
🏡Getting an apartment secured from outside of the city -
This will be a challenge because so many people here are wanting to rent the apartments already, so the owners of these places may not want to wait for you to get here. I suggest going through FaceBook and Craigslist in this case because it is more likely the actual owners of these places will understand your circumstances - but again sometimes this is difficult.
🏡Don't get scammed -
Don't send people money until you have seen your place in person, or through a video tour is what I say. Scammers tend to ask you to send money before you even see the place. Always ask for a tour in person or virtual, and if they decline, it is kind of suspicious and may be a scam.
🏡Need Roommates to make rent cheaper? -
Facebook is the best place to find other people who are also looking for people to rent an apartment with. Just search for Facebook groups dedicated to Vancouver housing, and Vancouver roommates. That's the best place to find people!

This video took weeks, and hella emails lol. I really did send out almost 50 emails. Most of the time you just never get a response, but don't get discouraged because that is normal in the Vancouver apartment hunting scene. We looked at places mostly in Kitsilano because that is the area I am trying to live in - I do have other videos touring places downtown which you can find on my channel! Also looked at places in Point Grey, False Creek, South Cambie, and more. Moving to Canada and Finding a Vancouver apartment really is a mission. But u got this!
