Where to Find Listings
UrbanLease syndicates active rental listings across the platforms Calgary tenants actually use, RentFaster (the dominant Calgary rental platform), MLS via Realtor.ca, Kijiji, and Facebook Marketplace. Rather than building a parallel listings feed on our own site that few tenants would find, we focus our marketing on the platforms with established Calgary tenant traffic.
New UrbanLease listings typically appear on RentFaster and other platforms within 24–48 hours of going live. Use the link above to see current available properties. If you find a UrbanLease-managed listing you want to apply for, you can either apply through the platform or come directly to our application at urbanlease.ca/apply, both routes reach our screening workflow.

Alberta caps residential security deposits at one month's rent. UrbanLease collects the deposit into a regulated trust account at lease signing. The deposit earns interest at the prescribed Alberta rate. At move-out, the deposit is returned within 10 business days less any documented deductions for damage beyond reasonable wear and tear.
Depends on the specific property. Some Calgary rentals are pet-friendly (with conditions: pet deposit where lease permits, specific pet types, sometimes weight limits). Some are no-pets. Each listing specifies the pet policy. UrbanLease works with both pet-owning tenants and pet-restricted property owners, check the individual listing for the policy on that property.
12-month fixed-term leases are the Calgary standard. Some properties offer month-to-month after the initial fixed term; some convert to renewal with a new fixed term. Premium and luxury properties sometimes offer 24-month leases with rent concessions for the longer commitment. Specific terms appear on each listing.
Depends on the property. Most Calgary single-family homes and townhouses bill utilities (gas, electric, water) separately, tenant sets up accounts with utility providers and pays directly. Most condos and apartments include water in the condo fee but bill electricity (and sometimes gas) separately. Furnished and luxury rentals more often include utilities. Each listing specifies the utility arrangement.
Standard timeline: application submission, screening completion within 4–8 business hours (complete applications), tenant-approval decision, lease signing within 24–48 hours of approval, security deposit collection at signing, move-in coordination including condition inspection. From application to move-in keys typically runs 3–10 days depending on lease start date and move-in inspection scheduling.
