Haldimand questions
Do I need a licence to rent my Haldimand house?
The County doesn't license short-term rentals at the moment. Whatever the term of the rental, the home must meet property standards and the Building and Fire Codes, and we'll check with the County for anything new before we list.
Who tests the well water at a rental?
The lease should say. Testing for bacteria is free through Public Health Ontario; many owners test before a new tenant moves in and share the results.
How fast do Haldimand homes rent?
Our average across all our placements is 14 days from listing to a signed lease. We'll give you a realistic estimate for your home on the strategy call.
