Our rental management services.
Our team provides solutions that meet each owner's needs efficiently. As a professional property management company, we manage your property from A to Z: leasing, maintenance, repairs, finances and emergencies.
Our approach
One point of contact, from the listing to the year-end summary.
Suppliers are carefully chosen for the best balance of price and quality of service. You can hand over full management, or leasing only: we can build a custom package with the services you need.
Nine areas, set out below, cover everything a landlord has to do in a year — and everything they would rather not do.
| Leasing only | Full management |
|---|---|
| Rent assessment, listing and showings | Everything in leasing only |
| Tenant screening and credit check | Rent collection and monthly statement |
| TAL lease and move-in report | Maintenance, repairs and 24/7 emergency |
| Key handover — you manage from there | Renewals and rent increases (TAL files billed extra) |
Leasing
Finding the right tenant, at the right rent, as quickly as possible. You keep the final decision — we do everything else, from the listing to the key handover.

- 2Preparing the unit for rent — a list of small jobs before it goes on the market
- 3Marketing and advertising — quality photos, a full description, listings on the main rental platforms
- 4Answering inquiries and pre-qualifying applicants
- 5Organising showings for prospective tenants — you do not need to be there
- 6Tenant selection and background checks: credit check with written consent, employment, income, references from previous landlords
- 7Presenting the strongest files — the owner chooses
- 8Drawing up the lease on the mandatory TAL form, with its annexes and the building by-laws
- 9Move-in condition report with photos, then key handover
Full rental management
For the owner who no longer wants to take the calls. One point of contact for your tenants, your neighbours and your suppliers, and notices sent within the legal deadlines.

Condo owners
Renting out a condo also means dealing with a condominium syndicate. We check what the declaration allows and handle the liaison, so the tenancy runs without violation notices.

- 2Notice to the syndicate and the required documents about the tenant
- 3Building by-laws given to the tenant and attached to the lease

Plexes and small buildings
Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes: the heart of Montréal's rental stock. Whether or not you live in one of the units, we look after the tenants and the building.

Frequently asked questions
What owners want to know
Can I hire you only to find a tenant?
Yes. Leasing can be hired on its own: rent assessment, listing, showings, screening, lease and key handover. You then manage it yourself, or hand us full management. The price of this service is one month's rent, paid once when the lease is signed.
Who chooses the tenant?
You do. We present the strongest verified files with our recommendation. The final decision is yours.
Do you ask the tenant for a security deposit?
No. In Quebec a landlord may not require a security deposit; only the first month's rent may be paid in advance. We follow that rule.
Can you manage a single condo?
Yes, and it is common. We first check that the declaration of co-ownership allows renting, then handle the liaison with the syndicate for the whole lease.
Can I keep my own contractors?
Yes. We can work with your usual suppliers, or suggest those in our network — licensed, bonded and insured.
How do I know what is happening?
Through a monthly statement of income, expenses and work done, and a call or email for any significant decision. In an emergency you are informed the same day.
What do you do if a tenant does not pay?
A reminder from the first late day, then a written notice. If rent is more than three weeks late, the landlord may ask the Tribunal administratif du logement to terminate the lease; we prepare that file (billed extra).
Do you offer short-term rentals (Airbnb-style)?
No. We focus on long-term residential rentals and commercial leasing.
