Property Management Fees in Ontario

There isn’t one — but there is a model. We charge a leasing fee equal to one month’s rent when we place a new tenant. That’s a one-time fee on a new tenancy, not a recurring charge. Most owners turn over tenants every 2–4 years, which means the leasing fee averages out to a small monthly amount over the lifecycle of the unit — less than what traditional managers charge. We’d rather earn it once on a clean placement than nickel-and-dime you for twelve months a year.

Then you pay nothing per month and nothing for renewals. We don’t charge a renewal fee. We don’t charge for the annual N1 rent increase. We don’t charge for the quarterly portfolio call. Long-tenured tenants are great for owners, and our pricing reflects that — the longer your tenant stays, the better the math works for both of us.

No. We don’t charge to take over a property, even if it’s currently with another manager. We don’t charge for the initial property walkthrough. We don’t charge for the first 30 days while we transition tenant communication. Most owners pay $0 in their first month with us — some pay $0 in their first year.

Never. When a contractor charges $340 for a faucet repair, your invoice shows $340. We don’t add 10%, we don’t add 15%, we don’t have “coordination fees” or “administrative surcharges.” The contractor invoice goes straight to your portal. If a vendor sends us a kickback, we apply it to your account — not ours.

Notices (N1, N4, N5) and LTB filings (L1, L2) on Enhanced and Enterprise plans are included in your management fee. Standard plan covers basic notices; complex hearings are billed at clear hourly rates we share before any work begins. We don’t outsource LTB work to a third-party paralegal who’d invoice you separately — our team handles it in-house.

Same per-unit pricing, with portfolio-level reporting included once you cross five doors. At ten doors you get a dedicated portfolio manager under the Enterprise plan. We don’t do volume discounts on monthly fees because the monthly fee is already $0 — the leasing fee structure stays the same, but we coordinate placements to minimize concurrent vacancies.

Yes — up or down, anytime, with thirty days’ notice. Most owners start on Enhanced and stay there. A few owners on Standard upgrade after their first renewal cycle once they see what Enhanced covers. Nobody is locked in.

Sixty days’ written notice, no termination fees. We’ll hand over the tenant relationship, lease documents, accounting history, and any deposits in trust. The best client retention strategy is doing the work well — not contractual handcuffs.
