Property Management in Ottawa

We handle tenant questions, rent records and repairs for your rental house, townhouse or apartment. You get reports that show the rent received, expenses and work done.

How the service works

Let us handle the daily work.

Spend less time answering tenant questions, chasing rent and arranging repairs. We handle that work and keep you up to date on your property.

Before we start, you get a written agreement with our services, fees and repair spending limits. You know what we handle and which decisions need your approval.

Need a tenant? We can advertise the home, run showings, check applications and arrange the lease. Already rented? We review the lease, payment records and open repairs before taking over.

We manage rental houses, townhouses and apartments that are not condo units. For condos, we offer leasing only. We do not handle individual room rentals.

Property management questions.

What does an Ottawa property manager do?

We can advertise the rental, run showings, check applications and arrange the lease. Ongoing management covers rent records, tenant questions, repairs, inspections, owner reports and move-outs. Your agreement lists the services included.

Does property management include tenant placement?

Yes, if you need it. We list the leasing work and any separate fee in your agreement before we start.

How are maintenance decisions made?

We agree on repair spending limits and emergency procedures before we start. Our contractor network is available 24/7. Response times depend on urgency, access, contractor availability and the work approved.

How can a property manager help my rental?

We answer inquiries, keep leasing and repairs moving, and show you where money is going. This helps reduce avoidable delays and gives you the information you need to make decisions.

Can you help with an LTB-related tenancy issue?

Yes. We can review the property issue, organize messages and records by date, and help with the next practical steps. If you need legal advice or representation, we refer you to a licensed professional.

When should an owner involve a lawyer or paralegal?

Use a licensed Ontario lawyer or paralegal when you need legal advice, legal document selection or preparation, an LTB application or representation. With your approval, we can connect you and share the property records they request. The Landlord and Tenant Board decides what it accepts as evidence.

We manage houses, townhouses, apartments that are not condo units, rental buildings, townhome communities and groups of residential properties. We do not manage condo units or individual room rentals. Whole condos can use our leasing-only service.
