renting a house in an area where none are for rent

Looking to move to the L5J postal code (Erin Mills Pkwy south of the QEW). We're only going to be there for 2 years so I'm thinking rent rather than buy.

I've been searching MLS, Kijiji, Craigslist etc for houses for rent and seeing very few options. Wife refuses to move back into a condo or apartment building (we are currently renting a house elsewhere in Mississauga).

I was thinking I'd just send postcards to houses that are for sale, offering to rent them.
Anyone have a better idea?

Go and drive in area and look for rental complex, mainly townhouses. Usually, if these are managed by big corporations, does not put ads on MLS or Kijiji.
