My wife and I were recently in the same situation. We were up front with our landlord and when we bought a place, we told him that the Calgary rental market (he lives in Vancouver) is white hot and that we would show the place, pay for the renfaster.ca add and that he shouldn't have a problem finding someone. He put it on rentfaster, we showed it and it took less than 6 hours to rent. He got $400 per month more than what we were paying.
In this market, landlords have a lot of pull because of the low inventory, but in your situation, that could work in your favor as the landlord won't have any reason not to rent it quickly and for at least what you're paying.
