We value the relationships we have built through various platforms. However, our goal is to establish direct, long-term partnerships with homeowners whenever possible.
This approach allows us to:
Foster stronger, more reliable relationships.
Work within the constrained budgets of our Health Authority partners by minimizing third-party fees.
Ensure that public healthcare funds are allocated as efficiently as possible.
As a result, we focus on cultivating a select network of quality hosts and prefer to arrange bookings directly. This enables us to provide consistent, high-value placements while responsibly stewarding healthcare resources.
-
All our medical professionals undergo a thorough and rigorous vetting process. This includes:
A criminal record check
Verification of professional references
Validation of credentials and certifications
We ensure that every candidate meets our strict standards before placement. While no individual is perfect, you can be assured that each professional has completed extensive screening.
Additionally, all our placed staff are covered under our comprehensive third-party liability insurance. This means hosts are protected, and no separate tenant insurance is required.
-
We work within a fixed budget set by our Health Authority partners. Across the province, hospitals carefully allocate public funding to meet community healthcare needs efficiently.
While our rates are influenced by contract specifics and seasonal factors—and may differ from open market prices—we provide distinct advantages that ensure a reliable and rewarding hosting experience.
The Value of Hosting with Us:
Trust & Security: You host pre-vetted medical professionals who are dedicated to serving your community.
Consistent Bookings: Benefit from regular, medium-to-long-term contracts with responsible tenants.
Peace of Mind: Our guests are here to work, ensuring a quiet, respectful, and stable tenancy.
This combination of reliability, purpose, and community support is why our homeowners consistently value partnerships with Travel Nursing Connections.
-
Renting to medical professionals through Travel Nursing Connections is designed to be straightforward.
Licensing: A formal short-term rental license is not required. This is because you are not renting to the general public, but exclusively to pre-screened medical professionals supporting our local hospitals.
Contract Terms: Placements are typically between 4 and 12 weeks, providing stable, medium-term occupancy. Rent is paid monthly, and we also collect a one-time cleaning fee and a refundable damage deposit to protect your property.
Our goal is to create a simple and secure process that connects you with reliable, long-term tenants.
-
While mid-term cancellations are uncommon, they can occasionally occur due to changing hospital staffing needs.
Our Process:
If a contract is altered or cancelled, our priority is to place a replacement medical professional in your property to honour the existing agreement.If a Replacement Cannot Be Found:
Should we be unable to secure a replacement, we will proceed according to the cancellation terms outlined in your signed contract, which may include a cancellation fee.Our goal is always to ensure minimal disruption and maintain the stability of your rental income.

We partner with a select group of homeowners to ensure the highest standards of comfort, safety, and convenience for our medical professionals. Proximity to the hospital is a primary factor in securing bookings.
What Determines Bookings:
Property location relative to the hospital
Availability of your property
The current staffing needs of the hospital
While these variables mean we cannot guarantee year-round occupancy, we are committed to providing regular and stable contracts to homeowners whose properties meet all our essential criteria.
