Leasing is where BCR Property Management started, and it is still the part we do most. The team behind 500+ leases in Leaside's Upper East Village prices your unit from real recent leases, lists it on MLS through Big City Realty, runs the showings, screens every applicant and prepares the lease. You approve the tenant and collect the rent.
How a leasing goes
Pricing. We pull what comparable units leased for in your building and nearby over the last 60 to 90 days, not asking rents, and recommend a price in writing. Our monthly GTA Rental Market Report comes from the same data.
Preparation and photos. A walk-through, a short list of anything worth fixing before photos, and professional photography.
Marketing. An MLS listing through Big City Realty, syndicated to Realtor.ca and the major portals, plus our own channels and the agents who bring us tenants every week.
Showings and applications. Run by us, at times that work for your current tenant if the unit is occupied. Applications come in through one process and are screened the same way every time.
The lease. The Ontario standard lease with the schedules that protect you, the last month's rent deposit and key deposit handled as the Residential Tenancies Act requires, a signed move-in inspection and the keys.
What we do not do
We do not list a unit above what the market will pay to win the listing, and we do not place a tenant we have not verified to fill it faster. We do not collect damage deposits, because Ontario does not allow them. We do not lease basement units as a rule.
What you receive
- A written rent recommendation with the comparable leases behind it.
- Professional photos and an MLS listing.
- A screening summary for every applicant we recommend.
- A complete lease file and move-in report.
Fees
Tenant placement is quoted in writing before you sign. If you want us to manage the unit afterwards, full management is 6% to 9% of monthly rent plus HST, and the two are separate charges.
