For Students: Safe, Simple, and Stress-Free Housing

By Plazio Team

Every listing on Plazio is verified before going live. Students only see real apartments, posted by real landlords, with real availability.

1. No More Rental Scams

Every listing on Plazio is verified before going live. Students only see real apartments, posted by real landlords, with real availability.

2. Verified Landlords & Tenants

Every user — student or landlord — must complete a verification process. No fake profiles. No fake owners. No risk.

3. Housing Access for International Students

New students arriving in Canada often lack a credit score. Plazio makes the onboarding process easier with:

  • Supportive, landlord-friendly profiles
  • Soft credit checks
  • Additional identity verification

This bridges the gap and helps international students secure housing quickly.

4. One Profile, Unlimited Applications

Students create their profile once, then apply to multiple apartments in seconds — instead of repeating the same paperwork dozens of times.

5. Soft Credit Checks Only

Applying for apartments should not hurt your credit score. Plazio uses soft inquiries, protecting students from repeated credit downgrades while searching.

6. Student Perks

Unlock exclusive student-only deals on your mobile plan, Uber, Lyft, tenant insurance, and more, all in one place.

For Landlords: A Unified Platform That Saves Time

Managing student rentals doesn’t need multiple tools. Plazio combines a rental marketplace with a property management system — all in one place.

1. A Verified Pool of Student Tenants

Landlords get access to a trusted, verified student community across Canada — reducing risk and improving tenant quality.

2. A Marketplace + Property Management Software in One

Plazio replaces multiple tools with a single platform that offers:

  • Listing management
  • Digital applications
  • Tenant screening
  • Soft credit checks
  • Workflow automation
  • Communication tools

Everything landlords need — from listing to lease — lives in one clean, efficient system.

Building a Better Student Housing System

Plazio fixes what traditional rental systems get wrong:

  • Safety through verification
  • Speed through automation
  • Fairness for international students
  • Efficiency for landlords
  • Transparency at every step

Student housing should empower students, not overwhelm them. And landlords should spend less time chasing applications and more time filling units with qualified, verified tenants.

Plazio makes that possible — across all of Canada.
