RentFaster Scraper: Canada Rental Listings, Rents & Landlord Phones

What is the RentFaster Scraper? It is an Apify Actor that scrapes rental listings from RentFaster.ca, one of Canada's biggest rental sites, and returns 44 structured fields per listing (rent range, bedrooms, bathrooms, square feet, address, GPS, landlord or property manager phone and website, utilities, pets, parking and features) as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Scrape RentFaster rental listings at scale for Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Vancouver and 100 more Canadian cities. Pick one or more cities, apply the same filters as the RentFaster search panel (property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, rent range, furnishing, dogs, cats, utilities included, lease term, neighbourhood) and export every matching listing. A whole city like Calgary (about 6,800 listings) takes under a minute; all of Canada (about 15,000 listings) about four minutes.

Built for landlords and property managers pricing their units, real estate investors checking rent yields, relocation and corporate housing teams, lenders and appraisers who need rent comps, and researchers and journalists tracking Canadian rents. Runs on Apify, so you get the API, scheduling, integrations and proxy rotation for free.

Who uses a RentFaster scraper?

• Landlords and property managers: price a unit against every comparable listing in the neighbourhood.
• Real estate investors: compare rents by city, neighbourhood and unit size before buying.
• Relocation, corporate housing and student housing teams: shortlist furnished or short-term rentals in bulk.
• Lenders, appraisers and analysts: build rent comps and rent indexes for Canadian cities.
• Researchers and journalists: track rents over time with a scheduled run.
• Proptech and rental apps: feed a map, an alert service or a pricing model.

Pricing

This Actor is pay per result: you pay for each listing saved to the dataset, plus a tiny per-run start event. Listings removed by your filters are never charged. The current rate is shown on this Actor's Store page.

On the Apify Free plan, each run returns up to 50 listings from the first city, so you can check the data before subscribing to an Apify plan.

Tips

• Track rents over time: schedule a weekly run for your city and add Dataset Diff to get only new or changed listings by Slack, Telegram or email.
• Pay only for what you need: set filters instead of scraping a whole city and filtering later.
• Rent comps: filter by neighbourhood, bedrooms and property type, then sort the export by rent_cad.
• Group by landlord: landlord_id is shared by all listings of the same RentFaster account, useful to find large property managers.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What is RentFaster? RentFaster.ca is a Canadian rental listings site, founded in Calgary and part of the Rentals.ca network, with apartments, condos, houses, basement suites and rooms for rent across the country.

Is there a RentFaster API? RentFaster has no public API for listings. This Actor works as a RentFaster API alternative: call it through the Apify API and get clean JSON.

Why does a city show more units than listings? RentFaster counts units: an apartment building advertising 12 units counts 12, but it is one listing. The Actor returns one row per listing, with rent_cad and rent_max_cad covering all its units.

Why do some listings have no phone or address? Some landlords hide their address or phone on RentFaster. The Actor returns everything the listing publishes and never guesses. About 9 in 10 listings have a phone.

Can I scrape all of Canada? Yes. Tick All cities. It takes about four minutes for roughly 15,000 listings.

Does it support scheduling? Yes. Use the Apify scheduler to refresh daily or weekly, and Dataset Diff to receive only new listings.

Is it legal to scrape RentFaster? The Actor collects publicly listed rental information. You are responsible for using it in line with RentFaster's terms and applicable law, including Canada's privacy and anti-spam rules (PIPEDA, CASL) when you contact a private landlord.

Something is not working? Open an issue in the Issues tab and I will fix it quickly.
