Renting in Kawartha Lakes: what we see
Kawartha Lakes is one big municipality of towns, villages and lakes along the Trent-Severn Waterway, with Lindsay as its centre.
Lindsay
Houses, duplexes and apartments near Ross Memorial Hospital and Fleming College's Frost campus. Tenants include health care staff, students and families, and parking is a must.
Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls
Lake towns with older houses, apartments and former cottages. Year-round tenants ask about heating, water and winter roads, which we check before listing.
Rural and waterfront homes
Homes on wells and septic across the City, from Omemee to Coboconk. The lease covers water testing, fuel, snow clearing and docks, so nothing is left to guesswork.

Kawartha Lakes questions
Do I need to register my Lindsay basement apartment?
Yes. Kawartha Lakes requires every additional unit to be registered under By-law 2020-162, with an inspection, and treats unregistered units as illegal.
Can I add a unit to my cottage property?
On private services the lot must be at least 0.4 hectares and the septic system must have the capacity, which often means an upgrade. Talk to the City's sewage system inspector early.
Short-term or long-term in cottage country?
Short-term needs a City licence and brings turnover; a long-term tenant pays every month of the year. We'll help you weigh it on the strategy call.
