How to Apply for a JDN Rental
A clear, step-by-step guide for tenants, students, families, and professionals.
Your Application in 6 Simple Steps
Organized, fair, and responsive — here is exactly what to expect.
Find Your Home
Browse our available rentals on jdnpropertys.com. When you see a unit that fits your needs, reach out right away. Good rentals can move quickly, especially during busy leasing seasons.
Book a Showing
Book a showing or contact JDN by text at 1-833-224-9834. We offer in-person showings where available and may offer virtual options depending on the property.
Submit Your Application
Complete the online rental application. Be prepared to provide the documents needed for screening.
- ✓Government-issued photo ID
- ✓Supporting income information, such as wages, pensions, public assistance, OSAP/funding or other lawful income
- ✓Previous landlord references, where available
- ✓Credit check authorization
- ✓Guarantor information, if applicable
- ✓Contact information for all applicants in the group, where applicable
For student rentals or group leases, each applicant may need to submit their own information. Any guarantor consideration is based on individual assessment, not student status or receipt of assistance.
JDN Reviews & Verifies
JDN assesses applications individually using relevant, lawful tenancy criteria. Income information, including lawful non-employment income, is considered alongside available rental history, credit references and credit checks.
We do not use a fixed rent-to-income percentage or income multiple as an eligibility cutoff. You can discuss alternative supporting information and accommodation needs. Read our screening guide.

Once all documents are received, Complete applications are reviewed individually. We will contact you about next steps.
Lease Signing & Move-In Setup
If approved, JDN will prepare the Ontario Standard Lease and any property-specific schedules or rules. Tenants will receive instructions for signing, payment, tenant portal setup, and move-in coordination.
Welcome home — our goal is to make the move-in process organized, clear, and well-documented from day one.
