Verified, no cold messages
NL's student population is small enough that everyone knows someone who knows someone, but that doesn't make Kijiji safe. On SubSwap, every student signs up with a school email, landlords can only post after our team approves them, and every roommate match needs mutual interest. For your rights as a tenant, see the province's landlord and tenant page.
