Finding a place to live is easier said than done. In today’s episode we are joined by Alberto Aguilar, formerly the co-founder and CEO of YourDorm. YourDorm successfully relocated 100+ international students into the Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston, and Montreal regions respectively. We discuss:

• How Alberto got started with YourDorm
• Key takeaways of the Tenant Act in Ontario, Canada, and what young people (and all renters for that matter) should know when looking for a prospective place to rent from

• What a lease agreement is and various aspects renters should be aware of prior to signing a lease (what breaking the lease means/looks like, pets, smoking in the apartment or unit, etc.)
• Negotiating phone, internet, and utilities when negotiating a lease 
• How one goes about getting out of a lease agreement

• Main tip for people looking for a place to rent: Manage your credit cards as any landlord can require you to be part of a credit check to make sure you can pay your bills
