About Mapala

Your new home is closer than you think.

Even if you haven’t found it yet. We’re building the most complete catalog of rental buildings in Canada, starting with Greater Moncton.

Finding a home should be simple, transparent, and empowering. Not buried in fragmented listings, fake posts, and broker fees.

Our mission Mapala exists to fix that.
The problem

Rental search in Canada is broken

Renters in Greater Moncton today have to hunt across half a dozen different sites, social groups, and individual building websites just to know what is available.

And once they find a listing, half the time it is outdated, duplicated, or already gone. We thought we could do better.

  • 1
    Fragmented listingsSame building listed in five places, none of them complete or up to date.
  • 2
    No building-level viewYou can find apartments, but not the building they are in or the floor plans available.
  • 3
    Hidden contactsForms and middlemen between you and the leasing office make the process slower.
  • 4
    Stale dataPrices from last year, photos from a different unit, and availability that is already gone.
