Rental listing inquiry

For an apartment seen on Kijiji, Marketplace or a listing — before visiting.

Hello,

I'm writing about the apartment at [address], which I saw on [site / listing]. I'm very interested.

Could you confirm whether it's still available? I'd also like to know:
- the availability date;
- whether heating and electricity are included;
- the rooms and appliances provided.

I am [employed / a student] and available for a visit [your availability]. Thank you for your reply.

Best regards,
[Your name]
[Your phone]

Keep it short and specific — a landlord gets many messages.
Never transfer money before visiting the apartment in person.
In Quebec a landlord cannot require a security deposit — be wary if asked for one.

Frequently asked questions

Are the templates really free?+

Yes — the Quebec CV builder, the email templates, the cover letter and the phone scripts are all free. No account is required to copy them.

Are the email templates bilingual?+

Yes — each email template has a French and an English version ready to copy, for housing and job procedures.

Does my CV have to be in French?+

In Quebec, employers expect a CV in French (or English) in the local format: no photo, no date of birth. The builder produces a French CV; for an English version, use the English site.

Can I adapt the templates to my situation?+

Yes — copy the template, replace what is between the [ ] brackets with your own information, and adjust the tone to your situation.
