A way back into the rental market.
If a credit score or a thin file has been doing the talking for you, we'd like a word. Briidge backs renters the system tends to overlook, and gives landlords a real safety net for saying yes.
Two sides of the same broken room.
Briidge didn't start in a boardroom. It started in the same conversations, over and over. Renters shut out for one tough year, and landlords forced to say no to people they'd rather house.
"I lost work during the pandemic, paid every bill late for a year, and now no one will even look at my application. I'm not a risk. I'm a person who had a bad year."
"I want to say yes to more people. But one missed month wipes out a quarter of my year. I need a real safety net, not a hopeful background check."
Composite voices drawn from real conversations with renters and landlords across Ontario.
Three steps from "no" to keys in hand.
Tell us your story
Income, situation, what you're looking for. We read the whole page, not just the score at the top.
We back you
We underwrite you and guarantee rent to your landlord. You stop being a maybe and start being a yes.
Move in. Move on.
Sign the lease, get the keys, pay rent on time, and start writing a new chapter of your rental history.
If you've been told no, we built this for you.
Low or bruised credit
A number isn't a person. We look at the rest of you, too.
Thin credit file
New to the country, new to credit, new to all of it. There's room for a first chapter here.
Self-employed or gig income
Inconsistent paycheques shouldn't mean inconsistent housing.
Starting over
A layoff, an illness, a separation, a bankruptcy. Life happens. Housing shouldn't punish you twice for it.
Protect the asset. Open the door wider.
You shouldn't have to choose between being fair and being safe. With Briidge, the rent shows up, and the list of people you can confidently say yes to gets a lot longer.
If a Briidge-backed tenant falls behind, we pay. No chasing, no awkward conversations.
A guarantee that stands behind every lease the way the big guarantor names do, without writing off good people in the process.
Open your door to a wider, properly vetted pool of renters, and rent the place with confidence.
Rent always lands. Even when your tenant slips.
Your tenant pays you directly, the same way they always have. If rent doesn't land, one email is the whole process. Here's the timeline you can plan around.
Missed due date
Your tenant doesn't pay you on the lease due date. Or they flag a shortfall with us early. No surprises either way.
One email to us
Send one line to landlords@usebriidge.com. That's the whole form. We confirm it in writing and the payment clock starts.
Funds in your account
Full month's rent paid into the account on file, within 5 business days of a valid notice. We pursue recovery with the tenant directly, professionally, and off your plate.
