YA, YA SO WHAT’S IT COST…

So what does it cost to hire a Property Manager?  That depends on what you prefer!  We have several elective ways to do business:

  1. We can draw up a formalized Service Contract with you and services can be handled on a monthly bases along with scheduled items you wish to have dealt with (like garbage removal etc.) – contracts can roll from month to month as necessary or have pre-set termination dates.
  2. We can work hourly and invoice you as projects are completed.
  3. We can be put on retainer and you can work through the balance as projects proceed.
  4. We can complete cash onsite projects depending on the nature and extent of the terms.
  5. You may use your rent as a “bank” and pay for services as rents are received rather than pull money from your immediate pocket.

RATES:

LABOUR: Generally speaking, hourly rates range from $25-$35 per hour, depending on the service.  In some circumstances, for example, where the contracting of an engineer is required, fees may be higher.  We work to mitigate your expenses ALL THE TIME!  It’s one of our primary focuses.  For a monthly apartment rental situation, most clients opt for “pay as you go” on occasional fix-ups and maintenance issues.

RENT COLLECTION / INTERACTION: handling charges are deducted directly from e-money transfers when rent is collected each month.  This fee covers our book keeping fees, generating tenant receipts, yearly tax statements to you and monitoring tenant payment histories.  Furthermore, this payment includes answering emails and text messages received from tenants regarding rent.  Generally speaking, its approximately 5% of one month’s rent plus HST.

ADMINISTRATION: Official documents on signed letterhead that serve as legal paperwork such as: notice of entry letters, rent increases, abatement notices, evictions and the like are generally:

  • $75 with no client contract, per tenant.
  • $50 with a client contract, per tenant.
  • This does not include Court filing fees.
  • This does not include delivery, reproduction or mail fees (where applicable).
  • Multi-unit document creation fees will be assessed per project.

FINDER’S FEE: To find a tenant for your apartment, the industry standard is one month’s rent.  This is true whether you hire a real estate agent or property manager.

  • If you become our client and sign a Service Contract, we reduce the tenant finder fee to 75%.
  • Ongoing re-tenanting of a same unit is reduced to 50%.
