Accessibility matters here.
A practical commitment to an inclusive, usable experience across the Homes for Rent Ottawa website.
Designed for practical access.
Homes for Rent Ottawa aims to provide a website that people can perceive, understand, navigate and use across devices and assistive technologies. The implementation is guided by WCAG 2.2 Level AA practices, while recognizing that accessibility requires ongoing testing and improvement.

Request support or a different format
If a page, form or document creates a barrier, call 613 800 2000 or email info@homesforrentottawa.ca. Describe the information you need and a preferred format or communication method. We will work with you to identify a practical option.
Feedback
Accessibility feedback helps identify barriers that automated checks may miss. Include the page address, device or assistive technology if you are comfortable doing so, and what you were trying to complete.
