TrusteraStaySure Canada

A Regina company that checks rentals the way a bank checks collateral

Trustera StaySure Canada Inc. helps newcomers confirm that a rental is genuine before they send money or sign a lease. We bring the documentation, verification and audit discipline of credit risk management to a problem that costs newcomers thousands of dollars.

Why we started

Every year, people moving to Saskatchewan arrange their first home from another country. They cannot view the unit, they have no local contacts, and they are under pressure to commit before they land. Fake landlords know this, and Saskatchewan's regulators and housing organizations have publicly warned about scams aimed at exactly these renters.

Lenders solved a similar problem long ago: before money moves, someone independent checks that the borrower is who they claim, the property exists, and the person pledging it has the right to do so. StaySure applies that same method to rentals, for a fee a renter can afford.

How we work

  • Documented procedures. Every case follows written procedures, and every outcome is reviewed and signed off by StaySure staff.
  • Independence. We are paid by the person asking for the check, and we take no part in the tenancy.
  • Plain reporting. Four clear outcomes, with the evidence and the limits of what we could confirm.
  • Privacy by default. Minimum data, explicit consent, role-based access and scheduled deletion.
  • Giving back. Free rental-safety sessions and fraud reporting, so each case helps protect the next newcomer.
