When it comes to listing my property for rental/re-rental, what makes your team different from other realtors?

Experience. Our Leasing Department is responsible for screening 80+ tenant applications per month, approaching each leasing situation with a high degree of scrutiny and attention to detail. Our team has the experience necessary to identify red flags, troubleshoot and problem-solve, and always get the job done in the best possible way.

A dedicated Tenant Screening Department. We have a dedicated tenant screening department comprised of staff who are trained to find you the best possible tenant(s) for your property.

Knowledge of current industry trends and standards. Our Leasing Department is fully up to date in terms of understanding Landlord & Tenant Board requirements and documentation and navigating the paperwork surrounding a variety of possible leasing scenarios. In fact, we use our own, customized lease addendum (in conjunction with the standard RTA Rental Agreement) that has been designed to protect our clients’ and tenants’ interests as thoroughly as possible.

At LandLord, we do everything in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act. Additionally, our comprehensive understanding of landlord-tenant relations (due in large part to our Property Management Division) allows us to navigate tenant selection with a know-how that’s hard to come by.

So much more for your money. The cost of renting through LandLord is one month’s rent + HST. The peace of mind our services afford you is priceless. At LandLord, this is what we do – we work tirelessly to connect landlords and tenants who are a good fit for one another. Additionally, because we will be managing your tenants after the lease is signed, you can rest assured that we won’t settle for anything but the best applicants.

Full-time, expert leasing staff. Our leasing staff are incredibly involved throughout the entire process. We will give you honest, transparent feedback about the applications we receive for your property and work to secure a tenancy that will be long-term. We will always do what is in the best interest of our clients and our tenants.

In-person screening. We will not lease a property until the applicants have seen the property in person and been in contact with one of our leasing staff. The in-person viewing of the property is a crucial part of our process and helps to protect both you and the prospective tenants.

How does it protect you? Meeting prospective tenants in person at the property gives our leasing staff a chance to thoroughly vet applicants, looking for red flags and warning signs that can’t be picked up from an on-paper application.
This also helps ensure that applicants won’t be disappointed or dissatisfied with the property if their application is accepted (e.g., if a tenant doesn’t see the property in person before applying to live there, they might find that it is smaller than it seemed in photos or on video, that it’s not as sound-proof or doesn’t have as much light as they thought, and so on). This vetting process is a crucial part of what helps LandLord get you lower turnover rates.

Expert-level marketing. Our Leasing Department knows how to best list your property towards your desired outcome. We consider every detail: which photos should be used in the listing, which websites your listing should be posted on, what verbiage will generate the desired interest in the property, and so much more. Because we also host a full-service Real Estate Brokerage, we can access and post to MLS as well as to private sites, like ViewIt, Kijiji, and our own Listings Page.

Exceptional knowledge of market pricing. We are constantly looking at market trends and projections to ensure that we get you the best possible price for your rental.

What does the Listing process look like?

Once your tenant provides their notice to vacate, your Account Manager will reach out to you asking if you would like LPRM to take care of the re-rental process.

Once you approve, our Manager of Leasing will reach out with the current market value for you to approve. Once, approved, we will commence marketing. The cost for LPRM to handle the re-rental is 1 month's rent + HST.

This includes all marketing, showings, tenant applications, tenant screening, lease drafting and coordinating.

How does the marketing process work?

Listing with Landlord: we list on the top listing sites: Landlord.net, Craigslist, Kijiji, Zumper, Padmapper, apartments.ca, Rent Faster, Rent Canada, Rentals.ca, Torontorentals.ca, Rew, Trovit, Rentals for newcomers and Rent Board.

For our private sites, we utilize Ontario’s most widely recognized scheduling software to book showings to ensure a smooth viewing experience. Our experienced Leasing Coordinator will meet with prospective tenants and show them the unit.

We can list on MLS; however, our best chance of securing a quality tenant lies with these targeted sites.

Our Leasing Coordinator meets personally with each applicant during showings and conducts a pre-screening, providing an extra layer of security.

This ensures a more thorough vetting process compared to realtors who may prioritize quick placements over tenant quality.

What’s a Pre-Move Out Inspection?

Something that sets us apart from other competitors are our Pre-move Out inspections.

Our Leasing Coordinator attends the property to advise what may be required to lease faster. This is typically complete with photos and a description of what needs to be done in the unit and what might be a good idea to do to help drive up interest.
