Can a Landlord List a Rental Property on REALTOR.ca?
A landlord cannot simply create a REALTOR.ca account and upload a rental property directly. REALTOR.ca displays listings supplied through MLS® systems and participating real estate organizations. Landlords who want REALTOR.ca exposure generally need to arrange an eligible listing through a participating real estate brokerage.
For Ontario landlords, a flat-fee MLS® listing can provide an additional way to market a rental property without paying a traditional percentage-based listing commission.
How theRealtyCommission.com Can Help Landlords
theRealtyCommission.com helps Ontario property owners market eligible rental properties through a flat-fee MLS® listing service.
Instead of paying a traditional commission based on a portion of the rent, landlords can list an eligible rental property for an advertised flat fee of $49 for a 60-day listing.
The listing is arranged through a participating brokerage and is subject to property eligibility, required documentation, applicable MLS® rules and the service terms.
List Your Rental Property on MLS® for $49
For landlords who want to market a rental property, the advertised $49 flat fee offers a straightforward alternative to a percentage-based listing fee.

2. Complete Your Order
Purchase the applicable listing service online and follow the instructions provided after ordering.
3. Submit Your Property Information
Provide the rental property details, photographs, required listing agreement and supporting documents. The listing cannot be processed until the required paperwork is completed correctly.

Once the required information and documentation have been reviewed and processed, an eligible listing can be submitted through the participating brokerage, subject to MLS® requirements and applicable rules.

Is a Flat-Fee MLS® Rental Listing Right for You?
A flat-fee listing may suit Ontario landlords who want additional exposure for their rental property while managing tenant inquiries and leasing decisions themselves.
If you prefer someone else to handle showings, tenant screening, lease negotiations or ongoing property management, confirm whether those services are included or require a separate agreement.
