If you are seeking accommodation with caring and attentive management, Homesgate is for you. I would gladly recommend them to anyone in need of a... cozy and welcoming home away from home. Their communication was flawless from the moment I reached out to inquire about the apartment until the day I checked out. They were quick to respond to my questions or concerns and genuinely seemed to care about ensuring my stay was pleasant. Their warm and friendly demeanour made me feel welcome and at ease throughout my stay. Thank you Gene!!read more

I can't say enough great things about my experience with Homesgate Rental and their studio apartment accommodations. From the beginning, Gene, the... host was fantastic and approachable. When I was transitioning out of my Airbnb, Gene responded promptly to my messages and made the move-in process smooth. The fully furnished studio apartment, included a parking spot, had all the amenities I needed, and the kitchen was well equipped with new cooking utensils, cookware, an air fryer, kettle, microwave, and stove.The apartment was beautifully decorated and provided enough storage space. The bed was comfortable and it was easy coordinating laundry machine usage in other units. One of the highlights was the peaceful and clean environment of the quiet neighborhood, making coming home from a long day of work a joy.The location couldn’t have been any better, with the subway station just a short walk away, a grocery store, shopping center and several cute local bagels shops around the corner. Yonge Street is not too far away to enjoy local restaurants that offer a variety of dining experience.I extended my short-term rental because of Gene’s hospitality as he is very helpful, responsive, and accommodating the numerous extension requests. Gene was quick to address any concerns and inform me in advance of any maintenance work.Homesgate Rental is an excellent choice for anyone who is a working professional or student, looking for something short-term or long-term. The flexibility of renewing the rental agreement without dealing with Airbnb fees made it even better. I would genuinely recommend Homegate Rental as it was a pleasant experience.read more

This place was a dream come true for me- right at the Harbor front. Gene welcomed me with a warm smile and a generous heart, and made sure I had... everything I needed for a cozy and relaxing stay. The apartment is a delight to the eye, with tasteful decorations and spotless cleanliness. It had all the comforts of home and more like 24x7 concierge, state of the art gym,swimming pool etc. I moved from India and wanted something for a short term but I decided to extend my stay with Homesgate Rentals for long term because of the way Gene treats and helps..Moving to new new country and city wss smooth for me because of this and it feels very safe too. The location is ideal - serene and tranquil yet a very happening place...which I love the most. Gene is always prompt and helpful with his communication, and he accommodated me on short notice without any hassle. I can't praise this place enough - it's a gem that you don't want to miss.Some breathtaking views from my room and balconyread more

My experience with Homesgate Rentals has been fantastic. As a young professional and new graduate finding housing in the city was quite challenging... since I don't have family in Toronto and it's hard to know who you can trust when house hunting. Then I got connected to Homesgate! They were able to accommodate me and Eugene has been an amazing host and property manager because he's very attentive, professional, and caring. I definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants a feasible and safe living space especially if you're a newcomer! Thanks so much, Eugene!read more

I was flying to Toronto and looking for a short term accomodation which would allow me to go around and transition more easily into the next steps of... my professional life. Gene has many great options to accomodate your preferences. I ended up choosing a nice room in North York. It is clean and quiet. Renting duration is very flexible. It is perfect for working professionals/coop students on a work term looking for short term accomodation. I recommend it over an airbnb. Finally, Gene is always very responsive. Name the issue and he'll fly to fix it.read more

In the past, there have been many headline news reports of unethical and illegal practices of rental units. 

We at Homesgate Inc. believe that honesty and integrity are the foundations of what makes a company great. We want to be fully transparent and forthright with our partnered landlords. We want you to believe in our vision and our process. Most of all, we want to earn your trust by delivering strong results year after year.      

At Homesgate Rentals, we have a One Tenant Policy. This means only one person is allowed to reside in each available private room. Tenants will be allowed to have guest/visitors but must follow the Homesgate House Rules and guidelines stipulated in the tenant agreement.  This will prevent your rental house  from being over occupied and ensure a safe environment for all residents.

Once you partner with Homesgate, we immediately get to work. Our team at Homesgate Rentals will list your rental house on our powerful online web platform for greater reach and exposure. Our tenant placement program will have a list of pre-screened and verified tenants ready to be placed in the suitable rental unit. Once all of the rooms for rent Toronto have been tenanted, Homesgate Management will handle all the tenant issues from then on.    

Property management companies handle all of the duties that a landlord would have to deal with their  rental houses in Toronto. Some of these related tasks involve rent collection, finding new tenants, pre-screening and verification of tenants, check in/out tenants, inquiries from tenants, maintenance and repair work, property inspections and much more. Whether the unit is for long term rentals or a short term rentals Toronto, contracting a professional property management company can serve to be a good long term investment decision.

Property management companies can charge on average 10%-12% of the total monthly rent collected. For example, Mr X rents out his property at a price of $3000 per month. He hires ABC Property Management Co. to manage his rental unit. ABC Management Co. charges 10% of total rent collected per month. The total cost would be $300 per month ($3000 x 0.10) and $3600 per annum ($300 x 12 months).

At Homesgate Management Inc, we do not charge our landlords any fees. To inquire further, reach out to our management team we will be glad to provide you more information.

The traditional way of renting a home is to rent the entire home to a single family. This is an essential service to our community as many single families require a place to live. We understand this is integral part of what makes up our society and it is necessary to provide this service.

Homesgate focuses on providing accommodations to single individuals in search of a room for rent Toronto while others, prefer renting to a single family. It’s not that a Toronto room for rent is better than renting out the entire home.  It’s more that we are providing a service to a subsect of renters within the entire rental market. There are some properties that are better suited for a single family while others, would be well suited for a single individual. For example, a property located nearby a college/university or in a busy financial district in downtown Toronto would be better suited to rent out to single individual(s) and working professionals rather than to a single family.     

No. While we are aware of popular sites that have gained much interest in recent years, we do not offer this type of accommodation. Popular Short term rentals Toronto (STR) sites offer nightly and weekly accommodation, similar to that of a hotel/motel. The three main factors which separates us from the those STR sites is:

(1) Our term is longer in duration. Ideally we prefer to find, accept and finally place tenants in suitable units with an 2-3x turnover per year. This means on average, tenants looking for place with a minimum 3-4 month term.  We also welcome and accommodate longer term durations (1 year or more).

(2) Our pre-screening/verification process. We have a careful and detailed process of screening potential tenants to establish credible candidates. Applicants are restricted from reserving accommodations prior to verification and pre-screening. Only after the verification process has been completed, can a candidate  request to rent one of our rooms.

(3) We require tenant insurance for all individuals residing in our units. This is a standard practice even among the traditional rental agreements.

We encourage you to read the City of Toronto bylaws specifically pertaining to Short Term Rentals Toronto.
