Mission
Who Rentable is for
Renters earning roughly $60,000 to $150,000 a year, looking for below-market apartments in BC. The supply exists, but it is scattered across operators, programs, and cities. We map it. The quiz tells you what you may qualify for. Alerts tell you when supply opens up.
Renters on lower incomes are not our wedge, but we do not want to waste your time. The quiz routes you to BC Housing Registry, SAFER, or RAP when those are the right fit. We do not run those programs. We help you find the door.
Renters earning above program ceilings are above what we cover today. We do not list private market rentals.
What we do
Rentable maps below-market and means-tested housing 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 programs in their cities have new supply.
What we do not do
- We do not run any housing programs. BC Housing, municipalities, and non-profit operators run programs. We are not affiliated with any of them.
- We do not list private market rentals. We focus on below-market and means-tested housing only.
- We do not charge renters. We do not sell renter data.
- We do not guarantee eligibility. Final eligibility is determined by the program operator 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.
