About Rentable
We built Rentable because finding what income-tested homes a person is eligible for, as well as finding the actual vacancy listings, is hard. It absolutely shouldn't be hard. BC's below-market and low-end-of-market housing supply is real - but very scattered. Programs run city by city, provider by provider, building by building. There is no single application, no central wait list, and no easy way for a moderate-income renter to know what they may qualify for. We aim to change that.
We have pulled this layer together. We started with program rules, income limits, housing provider information, and contact paths from public sources, BC Housing data, and operator websites. Every record carries a source and a last-checked date. Soon, Rentable will be a full community and listing marketplace, helping renters find the homes that they qualify for.
Data is currently listed via public information with sources visible on each page. We don't sell to renters, we don't run programs.
Who is Rentable for
Renters earning roughly $60,000 to $150,000 a year, looking for below-market apartments in BC. We will help you find what you may qualify for, and let you know when matching listings are published on Rentable.
If you are on a lower income, we'll help route you to the right place. The eligibility quiz will tell you which affordable housing pathway fits your situation best.
Earning above affordable housing income limits? We don't have homes in your range yet. Tell us if your situation changes and we'll let you know when something fits.

Frequently asked questions
Rentable is for renters in British Columbia, mostly those earning roughly $60,000 to $150,000 a year, who are looking for below-market or non-market housing. We also route renters on lower incomes to BC Housing Registry, SAFER, or RAP when those are the right fit.
Program rules, income limits, and provider information come from public sources: BC Housing, municipal program pages, operator websites, and government data. Every record on Rentable shows its sources and the date we last checked them. Rentable does not run any of these programs.
No. Rentable is free for renters. We do not sell renter data. The only personal information we collect from you is your email and the alert preferences you give us, which you can pause or delete anytime.
You will get a confirmation email and the ability to manage your preferences. We are still building partnerships with providers, so you will not receive listings right away. Until listings start, we'll send you a short monthly update with what we are working on. When listings begin, you will receive them at your chosen frequency.
We work hard to keep program rules accurate, but final eligibility is always determined by the program operator at the time of application. The match results from the quiz are based on the inputs you give us and the data we have on file. Always confirm with the operator before applying.
Rentable focuses on below-market and income-tested housing programs and the operators that provide them. Private market listings are not part of Rentable today.
Yes. We list operators from public information and endeavour to keep these accurate. Please contact us directly. We will respond and update your profile based on the information you share.
Rentable is an independent project building infrastructure for BC's below-market housing. We are not a government agency. Read more on our About page.
