Prospective Tenants

Looking for a rental property?

Here's how Hugh & McKinnon's Residential leasing division works:

·        Please be aware we are NOT a tenant placement agency. Hugh & McKinnon property managers work on behalf of our owners to match the right applicant with the right property from our available listings. We do not look for property on behalf of our applicants outside of our existing inventory.

·        Please view our website to see all of our current listings. Our properties are categorized by property type: Condo, Townhome, Suite/Duplex and Single Family Homes.

·        If you see a property that you are interested in, please fill out our tenant application form in full, as this is required before a viewing can occur. On the application, note the ID# of the property you would like to view. If the form is not completed in full or no ID# is listed, you will NOT be contacted by a property manager.

·        Once we have your completed Tenant Application Form, our property managers will contact you regarding the properties you have noted on the bottom of the first page. So be sure to note ID# in the "What properties on website do you want to view" section of the application form. Forms can be returned via email to rentals@hughmckinnon.com or faxed to 604-536-7295.

·        The property manager will then contact you about viewing the properties.

The Applicant must:

·         Complete the application in FULL

·         Have an excellent rental payment history

·         Keep their current home in excellent condition
