Property Management Services for Ontario Landlords
We find, screen and place the tenant for your rental, then manage the tenancy. You approve every tenant.
One month’s rent to place your tenant — that covers your first 6 months. Then $25 + HST a month. No percentage of your rent.
You deal with Ron directly — no call centre.
We manage rental properties for their owners — we don’t do stand-alone repair, cleaning, lawn-care or building-maintenance work.

Tell us about your property and we’ll follow up to discuss its rental potential and your management needs.
Upfront pricing. No percentage of your rent.
Our property management services are priced in two simple parts:
- One month’s rent
- When we place a new tenant. It covers the first 6 months of the tenancy.
- $25 + HST a month
- From the 7th month of the tenancy until it ends.
Repairs for your rental are arranged and invoiced only with your approval, and you’re free to use your own contractors. The one-month fee applies only when a new tenant is sourced. Pricing and fees are subject to change with 30 days’ notice.
| Period | The Renting Guide | Typical percentage-based manager at 8% of rent every month |
|---|---|---|
| Months 1–6 | 1 month’s rent$2,500 | 6 × $200$1,200 |
| Months 7–12 | 6 × $25$150 | 6 × $200$1,200 |
| Months 13–24 | 12 × $25$300 | 12 × $200$2,400 |
| Two-year total | $2,950 | $4,800 |
Example only, before HST. It assumes one tenant stays for the full two years (placing a new tenant means a new one-month fee) and that the percentage-based manager charges nothing beyond 8% of the rent. Percentage-based managers typically charge 6–10% of rent every month; 8% of $2,500 is $200. Over the first 12 months you would pay $2,650 with us and $2,400 at 8%. From month 14, your total with us is lower, and the gap grows by $175 every month after that.

Been working with Ron and the Renting Guide for almost 5 years now and they've been nothing but professional and focused on service. Ron is always responsive to questions and concerns and when onboarding a new tenant he is fully engaged. The annual inspections are always helpful and their constant support gives me confidence our condo is in good condition and well looked after. Thanks Ron!

Ron gave us an absolute masterclass on making the entire renting process such a seamless experience. His communication along the way made everything feel stress-free & we were able to just focus on getting settled. The building & unit we rented blew way past our expectations and completely content with everything.

What our property management services include
Property Marketing and In-Person Showings
We prepare and promote the rental listing, respond to inquiries, and our staff show the property in person at scheduled times.
Consistent, Lawful Tenant Screening
Applications are evaluated using consistent, objective criteria, including identity, references, rental history, and credit or income information where permitted by law.
You Make the Final Decision
We organize the application information and present applicants who meet the established criteria. You approve every tenant, and you have the final say on the rent.
Rent Collection and Follow-Up
We coordinate rent collection and promptly follow up when a payment is late, keeping you informed.
Scheduled Inspections
A move-in inspection, another after 6 months, then two inspections a year after the first year. When we visit for a repair, we also do a visual inspection of the property.
Repairs Arranged for Your Rental
When your tenant reports a problem, we arrange the repair as part of managing the tenancy. A property manager is on call for repairs and emergencies, work is invoiced only when you approve it, and you don’t have to use our contractors.
Three steps to more confident property ownership
Request your free rental analysis
Tell us about the property and your goals. We’ll discuss what it should rent for and the services you need.
We market, show, and screen
Our staff market the property and show it in person. Applications go through a documented process covering rental history, references, consent-based credit information and income.
You select the tenant; we manage the property
We use the Ontario Standard Lease. Before move-in we confirm the utilities are in the tenant’s name (unless you prefer to keep them in yours) and that the tenant carries at least $2 million in liability insurance. Then we coordinate rent collection, inspections, tenant communication, and repairs.

Before you hand over the keys
What does property management cost?
When we place a new tenant, our fee is the equivalent of one month’s rent, and that covers the first 6 months of the tenancy. From the 7th month, we continue to manage the property for $25 + HST a month. We never charge a percentage of your rent.
Pricing and fees are subject to change with 30 days’ notice. See the worked example.
Do you offer maintenance or repair services on their own?
No. We manage rental properties for their owners, so we don’t take on repair, cleaning, lawn-care or building-maintenance work on its own. For the rentals we manage, repairs and maintenance are arranged only with the owner’s approval, the owner is invoiced for the approved work, and the owner is not obliged to use contractors we refer.
How quickly can you place a tenant?
Timing depends mostly on four things: the asking rent, the property’s condition, its location and the time of year, so we don’t quote a fixed date. While the property is vacant, our staff keep it marketed, answer inquiries, show it in person and review applications as they come in, and we keep you updated. You have the final say on the asking rent, so if interest is slow, price is the first thing we’ll talk through with you.
What do the scheduled inspections include?
There is an inspection when the tenant moves in and another after 6 months. After the first year, there are two inspections a year. Scheduled inspections help document the visible condition of the property and identify maintenance concerns, and landlords receive an update or written report following each scheduled visit. When a tenant reports a repair, our representative also does a visual inspection of the property on that visit.
How are tenant applications evaluated?
Applications are evaluated consistently using objective information such as identity, references, rental history, and credit or income information where permitted by law. Screening practices must comply with applicable housing and human-rights requirements.
What happens if a tenant misses a payment?
Our team follows up promptly and keeps you informed at each step. It starts with a friendly reminder that the rent is due. If the tenant can’t pay, the next step is the Landlord and Tenant Board’s N4 form, which gives the tenant 14 days to pay. If the rent is still unpaid after those 14 days, the next step is filing an L1 application with the Landlord and Tenant Board; we can refer you to a paralegal for that.
Can you manage my property if I live outside the area?
Yes. We regularly help owners who do not live near their rental property by coordinating tenant communication, inspections, rent collection, and repairs.
