Used by landlords replacing OREA Form 410

Still Using OREA Form 410? There's a Better Way.

Download. Print. Fill. Scan. Email.

The OREA rental application form (Form 410) was built for a paper-based process. Every extra step reduces completion rates — and costs you qualified tenants. Mi Property Portal replaces the entire process with a single online rental application form your applicants can complete in minutes.

  • No printing or scanning
  • No incomplete submissions
  • No back-and-forth emails
  • No scattered applications

How the Online Rental Application Form Works

Set up your rental application form in under 2 minutes. Start receiving applications the same day.

From listing to completed application in three steps — no paper, no scanning, no chasing applicants by email.

1

Share Your Application Link

Your rental application form is automatically linked to your listing page. Applicants can also access it directly via a unique URL you can share anywhere — email, Kijiji, social media, or text message.

2

Applicant Fills & Submits Online

The applicant completes your customized form, uploads supporting documents, e-signs, and gives consent for a credit check — all in one session. Completion rates increase because applicants can finish everything in one session — no downloads, no friction. They receive a copy instantly by email.

3

You Review in Lead Management

All applications land in your centralized Lead Management dashboard. Compare applicants side by side, order a credit and background check with one click, and move the best candidate to lease creation — no switching tools.

The Old Way Is Costing You Good Tenants

Every extra step in your application process reduces completion rates — and costs you qualified tenants.

  • Paper forms and PDF downloads

    Applicants download the OREA Form 410, print it, fill it by hand, scan it, and email it back — or worse, they give up halfway.

  • Applications scattered across your inbox

    One application came by email, one by text, one in person. No central place to compare them. No audit trail.

  • Manual credit check requests

    You have to ask each applicant separately for consent, then go to a third-party site to pull the report. Slow and inconsistent.

  • Good tenants drop off before submitting

    They start the process — but don't finish it due to friction, delays, or complexity. You never even see their application.

  • No record for the applicant

    Once a PDF is emailed, the applicant has no way to view, update, or track their application status — and neither do you, reliably.

Mi Property Portal solves this

One link. Every application. Zero paper.

Mi Property Portal gives you a free, fully digital online rental application form that your applicants can complete from any device in minutes — and that you can manage, track, and act on from one central dashboard. Receive complete, ready-to-review applications — not half-filled PDFs.

  • Customizable fields to collect exactly what you need
  • Built-in credit check consent — no separate request needed
  • All applications in one Lead Management dashboard
  • Applicant receives a copy automatically upon submission
  • Applicant can view and manage their application in the Prospect Portal

A Rental Application Form That Actually Works for Canadian Landlords

Everything you need in a rental application form — without extra tools or add-ons. No bolt-ons. Every feature below is included with your Mi Property Portal account.

Free for Every Landlord

Your online rental application form is included on every Mi Property Portal plan — including the Free plan. No subscription required to start collecting applications digitally.

Free plan included

Fully Customizable Fields

On paid plans, show, hide, or make any field mandatory to match your property requirements. Customize section labels and add your own questions. Each unit or property can have its own application settings.

Document Upload

Applicants can attach pay stubs, employment letters, government ID, and reference letters directly in the tenant application form. All documents are stored securely and linked to the applicant's profile.

Co-Applicant & Multiple Tenants

Collect applications for multiple tenants living together, including co-applicants. Rent-split details can be captured within a single application, keeping everything organized under one submission.

Credit Check Consent Built In

The application includes a built-in consent checkbox for credit and background checks. When the applicant submits, their consent is recorded and stored — making it easy to order a full screening report with one click.

Prospect Portal for Applicants

Once submitted, applicants can log into their own Prospect Portal to view their application, check its status, and manage their information — reducing back-and-forth emails and giving applicants a professional experience.

E-Signature on Submission

Applicants sign their rental application form electronically before submitting. The signed application is saved to your records and linked to the applicant's profile — legally valid and audit-ready.

Automatic Copy to Applicant

Every applicant automatically receives a copy of their completed application by email the moment they submit. No manual follow-up needed — and applicants feel confident their submission was received.

Central Lead Management

All rental applications — from every property — arrive in one Lead Management dashboard. Sort by date, property, or status. Move the best candidates directly to tenant screening or lease creation without leaving the platform.

Most landlords go from scattered applications to a fully organized pipeline within the first day.

Built Around Canadian Privacy Law

Most rental application forms collect too much — or the wrong information. Mi Property Portal's rental application form was designed from the ground up with the Canadian Privacy Act (PIPEDA), provincial human rights codes, and the needs of diverse housing applicants in mind — not retrofitted from a US template.

PIPEDA-Compliant by Design

The application is structured so landlords collect only what they need — and applicants give explicit, recorded consent for credit checks. No SIN number is required or requested by default.

Indigenous & Special Housing Needs

The application was developed with awareness of provincial human rights protections and the needs of applicants from Indigenous communities and those with special housing needs.

No Discrimination by Design

Fields that could facilitate illegal discrimination (religion, ethnicity, disability status) are not included in the default form. You collect financial and tenancy history — nothing more.

Consent Captured at Submission

Credit check and screening consent is collected within the application itself. The record of consent is stored securely alongside the application — protecting you and the applicant.

Why "SIN not required" matters

Under PIPEDA, landlords should not collect Social Insurance Numbers as part of the rental screening process. A SIN is a federal tax identifier — not a tenancy verification tool.

Mi Property Portal's tenant screening (powered by our integrated partner) uses name, address, and date of birth to pull a full Equifax credit report — no SIN required. This protects you from liability and applicants from unnecessary data exposure.

Rental Application Form — Frequently Asked Questions

What is a rental application form in Canada?
A rental application form is a document landlords use to collect information from prospective tenants — including personal details, employment and income, rental history, references, and consent for credit and background checks. In Canada, rental application forms should comply with PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws. Mi Property Portal provides a free, digital rental application form designed specifically for Canadian landlords.
Is the online rental application form free for landlords in Canada?
Yes. Mi Property Portal's online rental application form is free for every account, including the Free plan. Landlords and property managers can collect digital rental applications at no cost, with no subscription required. On paid plans, the application form becomes fully customizable — allowing you to show, hide, or make any field mandatory.
Is OREA Form 410 required for rental applications in Ontario?
No. OREA Form 410 is not legally required. It is a standardized rental application form created by the Ontario Real Estate Association, commonly used by realtors. Private landlords and property managers are free to use any rental application form that collects the necessary information and complies with PIPEDA. Mi Property Portal's online rental application form is a fully digital alternative to OREA Form 410 — free, mobile-friendly, and designed for all Canadian provinces.
What information should a rental application form include?
A rental application form in Canada should include the applicant's full legal name, date of birth, current address, employment and income details, rental history, personal and credit references, and consent for a credit and background check. Under PIPEDA, landlords should collect only the information necessary to evaluate tenancy. Mi Property Portal's application form is designed around this principle — no SIN number is required.
Can a landlord ask for a SIN number on a rental application?
In Canada, landlords are generally advised not to request a Social Insurance Number (SIN) as part of the rental application process. A SIN is a federal tax identifier, not a tenancy verification tool. Mi Property Portal's integrated tenant screening uses name, date of birth, and address to pull a full Equifax credit report — no SIN required — which protects both landlord and applicant under PIPEDA.
How do I collect rental applications online?
With Mi Property Portal, you can collect rental applications online in under 2 minutes. Create a free account, and your online rental application form is automatically generated and linked to your property listing. Share the unique URL via email, Kijiji, social media, or text message. Applicants complete the form on any device, upload documents, e-sign, and submit — all in one session. Applications arrive in your Lead Management dashboard for review.
What is a credit reference on a rental application?
A credit reference on a rental application is a contact — typically a bank, lender, or past creditor — who can verify an applicant's financial reliability. In Mi Property Portal, landlords can collect credit references directly in the application form and also order a full Equifax credit report through the integrated screening tool, which is faster and more reliable than manual credit references alone.
Is an online rental application legally valid in Canada?
Yes. Online rental applications with electronic signatures are legally valid in Canada. Mi Property Portal's rental application form includes built-in e-signature, recorded consent for credit checks, and an automatic copy sent to the applicant — making it audit-ready and legally compliant under PIPEDA and provincial tenancy laws.
What are financial obligations on a rental application?
Financial obligations on a rental application refer to the section where applicants disclose existing financial commitments — such as car payments, student loans, child support, or other debts. This information helps landlords assess whether the applicant can comfortably afford the rent alongside their existing expenses. Mi Property Portal's application includes this section by default and can be made mandatory on paid plans.
Can a rental application ask for bank statements?
Landlords in Canada can request bank statements as proof of income or financial stability, but applicants are not legally required to provide them. Mi Property Portal allows applicants to voluntarily upload supporting documents — including bank statements — directly within the online application form. Applicants can choose to redact sensitive details before uploading.
What is a co-applicant on a rental application?
A co-applicant is an additional person who will live in the rental unit and shares the tenancy agreement — such as a partner, roommate, or family member. Mi Property Portal supports co-applicant applications and multi-tenant profiling, allowing landlords to collect information for all occupants within a single application submission, including rent-split arrangements.
How is Mi Property Portal different from OREA Form 410?
OREA Form 410 is a static PDF rental application form designed by the Ontario Real Estate Association. It must be downloaded, printed, filled by hand, scanned, and returned — or completed as a fillable PDF. Mi Property Portal's online rental application form is fully digital: applicants complete it on any device, upload documents, e-sign, and submit in minutes. All applications go directly to your Lead Management dashboard, where you can screen and move to lease creation without switching tools. And unlike OREA Form 410, Mi Property Portal is free for every landlord.
Does the applicant receive a copy of their rental application?
Yes. Every applicant automatically receives a copy of their completed rental application by email the moment they submit it. Applicants can also log into the Mi Property Portal Prospect Portal to view and manage their application at any time after submission — giving them visibility and reducing inbound inquiries to your office.
Are rental application fees legal in Canada?
In most Canadian provinces, landlords are not permitted to charge application fees or deposits before a lease is signed. Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, for example, prohibits key deposits and application fees. Mi Property Portal does not charge applicants anything to submit a rental application. Credit check costs, where applicable, are paid by the landlord through their account — not the applicant.
What information can landlords legally ask for in Canada?
Canadian landlords can ask for information necessary to evaluate a tenancy — including identity, employment, income, rental history, and references. Landlords should not ask for information protected under human rights codes (such as religion, ethnicity, or disability), and should avoid requesting SIN numbers. Mi Property Portal's rental application form is designed around these principles — collecting only what is necessary and compliant.
