Rent Collection:
We collect and deposit your rents on the day they are due and ensure that the payment clears and then forward the balance after deductions to you directly or if you prefer, directly to your financial institution.
Any late payments or returned rent cheques will be dealt with by us contacting the tenant to arrange immediate payment by an alternate method and/or serving the appropriate notice for a late rent payment.
Rent increases and renewals:
When the time comes for your leases to be renewed, with your authorization, we will contact your tenants to discuss the renewal and if applicable, advising them of the rent increase and make arrangements to collect the new rent cheques for the next term.
Expense management:
When managing buildings with multiple units we take care of making payments to your utility providers.
Monthly and Annual Statements
Each month we will send you an itemized statement showing your income from each individual unit as well as a total for the building which will include supplementary income such as coin laundry or the like. Your statement will also show your monthly expenses itemized including utilities, repairs and maintenance, contract services etc. We forward copies of all invoices and bills to you but we always retain a digital copy in case you misplace them or need them in a digital format at any time. Depending on how you have structured your investment, at the end of each calendar year we will send you a full accounting of your income and expenses for the whole year in one document.

We perform inspections of each individual unit twice every year, for multi unit properties.
