While home ownership is a consistently good investment over the long term, renting does offer flexibility and can be a great short term option for many.
Whether you are a Vancouver property owner looking for quality tenants or are looking to rent yourself, several resources are available.
Popular information resources for renters include The Vancouver Sun newspaper and Craigslist. However, if the property is located within 10km of UBC you may also want to consider the AMS Rentsline at http://www.amsrentsline.com
This convenient service started out approximately 20 years ago as a resource for University of British Columbia students to find off campus accommodation. Since that time it has grown to become an excellent way to help bring together owners and renters in the Vancouver area.
One of the features of the service is map based searching that enables users to narrow their search by location and other criteria such as number of bedroom and price range.
