    Hi, a newbie here.

    I'll be spending the next 2 years in the UBC area, starting next month, and I need to look for a 3 bedroom house on rent. What's a good source for looking for rents other than craigslist?

    I think craigslist is a good source. My father-in-law uses it a lot to post houses for rent.

    Craigslist is the most popular but some older buildings will only post a physical vacancy sign in front. if you can read Chinese you'll have much more to choose from as a lot of places only show up in Chinese newspapers or online Chinese communities like http://vansky.com/.
