Product Vision

MTL Rent is a modern rental listings platform purpose-built for the Montreal market. Our goal is to make finding and listing apartments in Montreal faster, smarter, and more transparent for both tenants and landlords.

What makes MTL Rent different

Montreal-first

Every feature is designed around Montreal's unique rental landscape — borough-based neighborhoods, Quebec lease types, bilingual communities, and the July 1st moving tradition.

AI-powered

Natural language search, automatic listing descriptions, instant FR/EN translation, and smart amenity tagging — all powered by Claude to reduce friction for both sides of the rental market.

Transparent market data

Price history, days on market, neighborhood averages, and trend analysis. We believe renters deserve the same market intelligence that homebuyers get.

Building-level intelligence

Profiles for Montreal's major apartment buildings with aggregated reviews, listing history, and building-specific amenities. Know what you're renting before you visit.

Current status

The MVP is live with core functionality:

• Browsable listings with search, filters, and pagination
• Interactive Google Maps view
• Landlord listing management with image uploads
• Authentication and favorites
• Responsive design with a bold, modern UI
