Mississauga Condos for Rent

Where are the rental condos in Mississauga?

The City Centre around Square One is Mississauga's rental hub by a wide margin, with hundreds of suites for lease at any time in towers old and new; our City Centre guide explains how the towers differ by era. Next come Hurontario, including the new towers at Eglinton, Erin Mills near the Town Centre and Credit Valley Hospital, Cooksville near the GO station, and Creditview's Parkside Village towers. For lakeside living, Port Credit has a smaller supply near the GO station and the water.

One-bedroom or two-bedroom: what should you rent?

One-bedroom and one-bedroom-plus-den suites are the most common rentals in the newer towers, and they suit singles and couples who want amenities and walkability. Two-bedroom suites, especially two-bedroom-two-bathroom layouts, are popular with roommates and small families and go quickly. If you need more room for the money, the older towers from the 1970s to 1990s, in Mississauga Valleys, Cooksville and parts of Hurontario, often have larger layouts, and their rent may include heat and water.

What rules protect Mississauga tenants?

Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act applies to most condo rentals. Your landlord should use the provincial standard lease. The most they can collect upfront is a deposit toward your last month's rent and a refundable key deposit; damage deposits aren't permitted. Increases can happen only once a year, with ninety days' written notice, but a suite first lived in after November 15, 2018 isn't limited by the annual guideline; see the province’s rent increase page. If a dispute can't be resolved, the Landlord and Tenant Board handles it.

What's different about renting in a condo building?

The building's declaration, by-laws and rules apply to you as a tenant. They often cover pets, noise, smoking, parking, move-in bookings and amenity use, so ask the landlord for a copy before you sign. Many towers require an elevator booking and a deposit to move in. Check exactly what's included: hydro is often extra in newer buildings, parking and lockers may or may not come with the suite, and most leases require tenant insurance.
