Latest From The LandLord Lens

Updated Market Outlook – COVID-19

The first quarter of 2020 saw price growth across the GTA approaching a 10% year over year increase – that, of course, has been put on hold. Not surprisingly, both buyers and sellers have reacted to the uncertainty of COVID-19, resulting in a balanced pause. The impact on pricing has been muted, for now. If relief efforts are effective in keeping small businesses…

Early Steps Building Laneway Housing in Toronto

Producing housing units in Toronto is not for the faint of heart or light of wallet! The status quo in neighbourhoods is protected with an unnerving amount of zeal by all levels of the City, so much so, that even an approved proposal to add a rental suite is subject to oppressive development charges.

What is property management?

Property management is the operational control of and care for real estate by a third party. There are several types of property management companies, including residential, commercial, short-term, construction, and more. LandLord Property & Rental Management focuses primarily on boutique residential property management. This includes leasing, rent collection, inspections, maintenance, and more for individual residential properties owned by investors.

What does a property manager do?

Property managers have a range of responsibilities, including tenancy procurement, rent collection, bill payment, oversight of maintenance and repairs, and more. Professional property managers can also offer experience-based guidance to maximize your ROI, help you follow local laws, avoid unexpected costs, and maintain a professional and positive relationship with your tenants

What is the difference between a property manager and a real estate agent?

Generally, real estate agents are focused on buying, selling, and renting real estate. A real estate agent can help you find a tenant, but that’s where their responsibilities will end. A property manager will stay with you after the tenant search and screen and continue to handle the operations of your rental. Our company is equipped to tenant your rental suite and, if you choose, continue management of your property.

What is The Landlord & Tenant Board?

The Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) was created by the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) on January 31, 2007. The RTA gives residential landlords and tenants rights and responsibilities and sets out a process for enforcing them. The RTA also sets out the process for resolving non-profit housing co-operative (“co-op”) eviction disputes. Learn more about the LTB here.

What is the average fee for property management?

Property management fees vary based on these three business models:

Percentage of rent

In this common model, roughly 10-15% of the rent is charged as a management fee.

Flat fee

In this model, a set rate is charged per property or rental unit. LandLord Property & Rental Management uses this model. To calculate our fees, visit our fee calculator.

Guaranteed rent

This model might be used for high-demand short-term rentals. The property management company pays rent to the landlord and is free to sublet the unit and generate profits at their own risk. If you considering hosting a short-term rental, be sure to learn your local laws. You can learn more about short-term rental property law in Toronto in our article, What Landlords Need to Know About Toronto’s New Short-Term Rental Rules.

What’s the difference between Property Management and Rental Management?

Property management and rental management both refer to the management of real estate investment property. However, managing real estate investments includes two main functions: (1) the management of the property, its maintenance, repairs, and inspections; and (2) the management of the rental, its profitability, and the tenant relationship. Read more about our approach to tenant management in our blog post here.

What’s the difference between renting from a landlord or a property management company?

A professional property management company should have guidelines and processes to deal with the various scenarios relating to ongoing management. For example, LandLord Property & Rental Management has a step-by-step process to search and screen tenants, a standard lease for every rental agreement, rental insurance guidelines, and more. A self-managing landlord might not have standard practices and procedures. At first glance, a rental applicant might be happy to deal with a ‘relaxed’ landlord. But complications could arise if other tenants aren’t screened thoroughly, the landlord doesn’t fully understand the law, or maintenance is not being addressed.
