We are your partner behind the scenes!
When you hire us to take care of your rental property management service, we can take care of it all. We protect, maintain, market, consult and handle the finance and administration of your assets.
Management Services
Rental Valuation
At your property, we will have a look around to understand if there is anything we feel you might need to do before renting it out. Additionally, we will perform a market analysis to better able to give you an idea of the monthly rental you might reasonably expect in the current market before your property is listed.
Marketing
The internet is the media of choice for people searching for properties to rent. Most of our enquiries come from internet advertising. We go beyond our company website to a number of large national sites, including Rentfaster.ca and social media platforms. We may also place ‘To-Let’ board outside your property if you so wish.
Application Vetting
Good quality tenants are essential to maintaining and enhancing our reputation. We carry out a thorough vetting and referencing process and selective about the tenants we put into properties, including a credit check, confirmation of employment, previous landlord’s reference, photo ID, etc.
Viewing
Potential tenants often prefer to view with us, the agent, rather than with the owner of the property. We would carry out all viewings on your behalf. Potential tenants seem to be more relaxed in this situation. If you still live at your property, we would always give you at least 24hrs notice of any viewings that we intend to carry out.
Tenancy Agreement Preparation
We can prepare tenancy lease agreement between the landlords and tenants. Lease agreement can be periodic or fixed term. Fixed term usually lasts initially 6 or 12 months. After this period the landlord can then have the option of offering a renewal of this initial tenancy.
Initial Monies Collection
We oversee rental payments during every step of the process. From collecting full deposit and first month rent to monthly rental collections. We are continually in touch with tenants to ensure a streamlined payment process. All records of payments for rent and bills are kept and monthly statement are provided.
Move-in Procedure
We will move the tenant in for you. This will involve meeting them at the property and handing over keys, performing a walk-through, and informing them of the start of the new tenancy. We would also produce a basic inventory which will list any items in the property as well as wall and floor coverings.
Other Inspections
The Residential Tenancies Act requires that at least two written inspection reports be done. These are Move-in and Move-out inspections. With your property under our management, we ensure that exit reports are made so we can compare them with entry reports and ensure there isn’t any damage to your property.
Property Maintenance & Repair
Regular maintenance is important for a property to remain in good condition over time. Similarly, appliances sometimes break down or other repair issues do come up. However, these are time-consuming and not always convenient when you live a busy life. That’s why we offer it as one of our property management services to take the hassle of you and set you free!
