Before leaving 3: how to find a house

At the beginning to save money, we were interested in "home exchange", that means that you exchange your house with a torontian one for free, so you don't have to pay for a rent.

As we have a rented house in Italy, we had to ask to our landlord, but he said "No", so we had to find a normal rental.

We have found our house in a very good web site: www.sabbaticalhomes.com. This web site has a list of houses or apartments available for one month or more and there is no agency to pay, because all the announcements are from private people.

Usually the landlords are teachers, who want to go in a sabbatical period or have long vacations and rent their house in the meanwhile.

Maybe we were lucky, because our "new" house is very nice and in a good area, but if you are looking for a house not only in Toronto, but all over the world, you should take a look at this web site.
