Practical answers for Markham rental-property owners.
Clear answers about pricing, full-service management, tenant placement, emergency support, notices, onboarding and changing management companies.
How much does property management cost in Markham?
Pricing depends on the property type, number of units, current occupancy and the services required. Ongoing management and tenant placement are priced differently. Use LandLord’s property-management fee calculator for an initial estimate, followed by a property-specific quote.
What is included in full-service property management in Markham?
Full-service management can include rent collection, owner accounting, tenant communication, maintenance coordination, inspections, lease renewals, required notices and ongoing property oversight. The exact scope is confirmed in the management agreement and outlined on LandLord’s property-management service page.
What types of rental properties does LandLord manage in Markham?
LandLord manages detached and semi-detached houses, townhomes, condominium units, registered secondary suites, small multi-unit properties and rental portfolios across Markham.
How are tenants screened for a Markham rental property?
Screening considers identity, income, employment, credit information, rental history and references while following Ontario housing and privacy requirements. Applications are reviewed as a whole rather than approved or rejected based on one number alone. Learn more about LandLord’s leasing and screening process.
Do you offer tenant placement services in Markham?
Yes. It can include rental pricing, listing preparation, marketing, showings, application review, tenant screening and lease coordination. Learn more about LandLord’s tenant-placement and leasing services.
Do you provide 24/7 emergency support for managed properties?
Yes. Managed properties have access to 24/7 emergency support for urgent issues that could affect safety or cause significant property damage. Non-urgent maintenance requests are documented, prioritized and coordinated through the regular maintenance process.
Do you handle rent increases and required tenant notices?
Yes. Each year, LandLord shares Ontario’s rent-increase guideline for the coming year with clients. When a tenancy becomes eligible for an increase, the management team confirms the applicable rules, prepares the required notice and sends it within the required timeline, based on the owner’s instructions. Owners can also track the next eligible rent-increase date in the client portal—for example, a tenancy that began in May would generally become eligible after the required 12-month period.
Can I switch property management companies during an active tenancy?
Usually, yes. The existing tenancy continues, while the management transition depends on the termination terms in your current management agreement. LandLord can coordinate the transfer of leases, tenant records, keys, maintenance history, deposits, accounting information and owner instructions.
Is hiring a property manager in Markham worth it?
It can be worthwhile when the owner lacks the time, local availability, systems or experience to manage tenants, maintenance, accounting and compliance consistently. The value is strongest when professional oversight reduces vacancy, missed notices, delayed repairs and avoidable operational problems.
Can LandLord manage my Markham property if I live outside Ontario or Canada?
Yes. LandLord provides local tenant support, rent collection, maintenance coordination, owner reporting and property oversight for owners who live elsewhere. For non-resident Canadian rental owners, the team can also coordinate the property-management side of NR6 and Section 216 administration alongside the owner’s tax professionals. Explore non-resident property-management support.
How does property-management onboarding work?
Onboarding starts with the property address, type, current occupancy, lease status and the owner’s immediate priorities. The team then reviews the available property and tenancy records, confirms the management scope, organizes the operational handoff and outlines the next practical steps. Start by contacting the Markham property-management team.
