Renting in Whitchurch-Stouffville: what we see
Most rentals here are in Stouffville itself: newer subdivisions around an old Main Street, with a GO line to Toronto and countryside on every side.
Stouffville and the GO line
Houses, townhouses and second suites within reach of the Stouffville and Old Elm GO stations. Commuters to Markham and Toronto ask about the train and parking first.
Main Street
Older houses and apartments above shops in the historic downtown, suited to tenants who want to walk to the shops and the train.

Homes on larger lots, many on wells and septic. We write water testing, heating fuel, snow clearing and lawn care into the lease, so both sides know who does what.

Whitchurch-Stouffville questions
Is my Stouffville basement suite legal to rent?
If it was built with a building permit and then registered with the Town, yes. If not, it needs both first.
Can I rent my house short-term instead?
Only with a Town licence ($1,116 per application, renewed every year) and within the occupancy limit set for your property. For most owners a long-term tenant is simpler.
Do you rent country properties?
Yes. For homes on a well and septic system, the lease says who tests the water, pays for heating fuel and clears the snow.
