1. Yes. At least in Ontario, I don’t know about other provinces.
2. No, this isn’t necessarily the case.
3. Which city are you looking at?
A realtor is selling houses..never heard of a realtor for tenants. Is that an Ontario thing?1. Is hiring a realtor free for tenants?
2. If the landlord is paying realtor, is he/she going to rent at a higher price than normal?
3. Where can I contact a reliable realtor? Is there a popular website?
Thanks and cheers,

Yeah, but in my book, realtors work for home sellers and buyers.Realtors do both. This isn’t just an Ontario thing - I know this is true in most states in the US, the UK, and other places.
Check out the show called House Hunters International.
What I've heard more common is property management company will handle the rental for their customers (owners/landlords). They help manage and screen renters and do the viewing ..etc. They charge owners a percentage on their rental income.

A tenant however is a person renting an apartment. I am not aware that one uses a realtor to rent an apartment. I certainly never did, hence my confusion.
I am aware of the TV program, watch it myself.
