Why Choose Sinistar?

Every year, thousands of Canadian families are displaced by floods, fires, and other insured disasters. They need more than just shelter—they need a home away from home. That’s where you come in. Sinistar connects caring landlords like you with policyholders who’ve suddenly found themselves without a roof. Unlike traditional short-term rental platforms that cater to vacationers, Sinistar offers a more meaningful, stable opportunity: longer stays, less turnover, guaranteed payments. We're trusted by major insurers and adjusters across Canada for a reason. By listing with Sinistar, you're not just earning income—you’re making a difference when it matters most.

What Makes Your Property a Good Fit?

If you have a fully furnished house, condo, or apartment, you're already halfway there. Sinistar guests need homes that feel, well, like home—complete with a kitchen, laundry, Wi-Fi, and a quiet place to work or study. Properties near schools, transit lines, or hospitals are especially in demand. But it’s not just about location—it’s about comfort, convenience, and care. One host recently shared how their basement suite helped a family stay close to their kids’ school after a fire. That’s the kind of impact you can have—and it starts with making sure your place is ready for real-life living.
