They are only refundable if you let them be.
And aside. At least they show the person on the other side of the transaction has some form of liquidity.

I see no problem with you needing to PROVE you have the deposit. The etransfer does this, without requiring you to give them the cash, mail/hand them a cheque (that can bounce).
In fact, its kind of brilliant. Yes, it makes things tougher, but if you are expecting to movein within a month, you already have that $2k deposit ready, so it should not affect your finances whatsoever.
The only reason it irks me is because it fucks you from trying to look at multiple places at once. Luckily you can just cancel the etransfer whenever you want.
Why deal with management companies? Almost universally they are ripoffs and can get fucked. Deal direct with a landlord or choose a different location.

I do think $2k is a bit stiff but I don't think I'd have an issue with $1k.
On the other hand...
I also think that we are reading the statement incorrectly. I think I know exactly what the statement actually says. And you're not going to like it...
Hint: I think these landlords aren't spending many of their days reconciling...
Where would I look for places that are landlord directly?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Most of the stuff on rentfaster and kijiji are management companies
lol why would a landlord want to deal with tenants directly and vice versa.
Great asset class.

Only poor people rent, so saying that would get rid of all applicants!
Sorry. Just joking, yeah agree totally brutal of increasing hurdles to get into a rental.

No different then selling your car privately, you will almost always be better off. Indeed, some of us poors can not waste thousands for pure convenience.
As a landlord, its been some of the easiest work for the money I've performed. Wish I had been able to buy more property before going back to school.
Haggis, don't know what you are looking at on Kijiji or rentfaster, but usually 50% of rentals are done by the landlord themselves. Keep looking I guess, likely need to specify private only, no businesses.

I think there's only about 4 places on RF just now that meet our criteria...one is calling me back next week, one I haven't called yet - other 2 are the deposit up front place and one that I'm not too sure about

Wonder how long before the city brings in a title transfer tax to solve their budget black hole.

New arrivals to the city should have to give the city $2000 via etransfer.
Will any of you beyond landlords be a kind soul and rent to this mother of 3 that also has 5 pets?

Rent goes up by 25% per animal. 50% per child.

If someone uses the word "gouge" in any context I judge them for it.
Gouging isn't a thing.
