Mission
Who Rentable is for
Renters earning roughly $60,000 to $150,000 a year, looking for below-market apartments in BC. We will help you find what you may qualify for, and let you know when matching listings are published on Rentable.
If you are on a lower income, we'll help route you to the right place. The eligibility quiz will tell you which affordable housing pathway fits your situation best.
Earning above affordable housing income limits? We don't have homes in your range yet. Tell us if your situation changes and we'll let you know when something fits.
What we do
Rentable today is a website that helps people understand, find, and act on affordable and income-tested rental options. We've pulled together below-market and income-tested housing options across British Columbia. That includes BC Builds, municipal LEM programs, non-profit housing, BC Housing Registry programs, SAFER, RAP, and others. For each program, we capture the rules, income limits, application path, geographic coverage, and the operators that deliver it.
The eligibility quiz takes a renter's situation and runs it against this data. The result is a personalized list of programs the renter may qualify for, with confidence framing that is honest about the limits of the data.
The alert subscription system gives renters a way to be notified when matching listings in their city of choice become available.
What we do not do
- We do not run any housing programs. BC Housing, municipalities, and non-profit housing providers run programs. We are not affiliated with any of them.
- We do not list private market rentals, we only focus on below-market and income-tested housing only.
- We do not charge renters and we do not sell renter data.
- We do not guarantee eligibility. Final eligibility is determined by the housing provider at the time of application.
- We do not offer financial, legal, or housing advice. We provide information so renters can make their own decisions.
How we source data
Rentable aggregates information from public sources and government data. For program rules and income limits, we reference BC Housing, municipal program pages, and individual operator websites. For market rent context, we reference the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation Rental Market Survey.
Every program record on Rentable shows its sources and a last-checked date where available. Operator profiles are listed from public information and include a path for operators to claim or correct their profile.
