Property-management veterans are now applying 30 years of real-world rental data to guide cost-efficient multiplex conversions—helping ease Toronto’s ongoing housing crunch.
High-rise cranes may define the skyline; however, many of the city’s most effective new rentals are now taking shape inside existing homes. LandLord Property & Rental Management Inc., celebrating three decades in business, has distilled decades of day-to-day property-management experience into a practical blueprint. This blueprint helps homeowners legally convert single-family dwellings into duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes.
“Because we’ve managed thousands of units, we know which layouts lease fastest, which finishes last through multiple tenants, and which systems minimize maintenance calls,” says Brandon Sage, Real Estate & Management Advisor at LandLord. “We use that information to design smarter multiplexes and guide owners through permits, costs, and neighbour concerns that usually stop projects before they start.”

From Maintenance Logs to Multiplex Playbook
- Design that lasts: Flooring, fixtures, and building systems are selected from three decades of durability and life‑cycle‑cost data.
- Layouts that rent: Floorplans prioritise privacy, natural light, and storage—features tenants consistently look for.
- Budgets that hold: LandLord’s historical cost library helps owners set realistic numbers before they file a single permit.
Gentle Density, Real Impact
Every completed conversion adds two to four rental suites in existing neighbourhoods. This expands housing supply without disrupting streetscapes or triggering large-scale community opposition.
“Toronto needs more rental homes now—not after a five-year tower approval,” Sage explains. “A single fourplex can be designed, approved, and built much faster if owners have clear guidance.”
