Revolutionizing Housing Search for Newcomers
Finding housing in Canada as a newcomer shouldn't be a barrier to starting your new life. Settura was built specifically to solve the unique challenges newcomers face. Here's how we make finding housing easy:
The Problem We Solve
Traditional rental processes in Canada often exclude newcomers because they rely heavily on:
- Canadian credit history (which newcomers don't have)
- Local references (which newcomers lack)
- Complex documentation requirements
- Language barriers
- Unfamiliar processes and expectations
This creates frustration, delays, and sometimes forces newcomers into less-than-ideal housing situations. Settura changes this by focusing on what matters: your identity, your documents, and your ability to be a responsible tenant.
How Settura Works
1. Verified Identity System
Instead of relying solely on credit history, Settura uses a comprehensive verification system that builds your credibility:
- Identity verification: Confirm who you are
- Immigration document verification: Validate your status
- Employment verification: Confirm your income source
- Bank statement verification: Show financial stability
- Reference verification: Collect and verify references
All of this builds your NV-Score (Newcomer Verification Score), which demonstrates your trustworthiness to landlords without requiring Canadian credit history. Your NV-Score is a comprehensive profile that shows landlords you're a reliable tenant.
2. Newcomer-Friendly Listings
We work with landlords who understand and welcome newcomers. Our listings are clearly marked as "newcomer-friendly," meaning:
- Landlords are open to newcomers
- Flexible documentation requirements
- Understanding of newcomer situations
- Supportive and welcoming environment
- Willingness to work with NV-Score instead of credit checks
3. Transparent and Safe Platform
Your safety and security are our priorities:
- All listings are verified: We check every property
- Landlords are screened: Background checks and verification
- Clear pricing and terms: No hidden fees or surprises
- Protection against scams: Comprehensive screening processes
- Support in multiple languages: English and French support
4. Streamlined Application Process
Our platform makes applying simple and efficient:
- One profile for all applications: Create once, apply many times
- Easy document upload: Secure file storage
- Direct messaging with landlords: Communicate easily
- Application tracking: Know the status of every application
- Status updates: Real-time notifications
5. Educational Resources
We provide comprehensive resources to help you succeed:
- Housing guides and tips
- Information about tenant rights
- Neighborhood guides
- Budget calculators
- Moving checklists
- Legal information and resources
