Serving The Needs of Landlords And Tenants In Muskoka Since 1994

We offer a wide range of management services and customize them to your specific needs. While some landlords require full time 24/7 management, others may need only the placement of a tenant. Some landlords wish to be hands on with their own repairs. Still others require some outside help.

All prospective tenants are required to complete a rental application in full. Once submitted, background checks are done. We are members of both Rent Check and TenChek . All prospective tenants must pass the credit check. Once this is done, further background checks are done as to the kind of person they are, proof of current income and how well they treat their current home.

As per the Province of Ontario Legislation, all Landlords in the Province of Ontario must now use a standard tenant lease. While this is uniform and applies to all tenants in general it may not cover issues that are specific to your property. We add a “Schedule A’ to the lease which covers issues not in the lease. This could be items like – septic beds, wells, grass cutting.

As part of our management of the property, annual rent increases are issued. Should the need arise we also issue N4 – non payment of rent, N5 – bad behavior and so on. All forms are taken from the Board web site and meet all requirements of the Act.

Every effort is made to follow the legislation that makes up the Residential Tenancies Act and any amendments that are issued.

We are proud to have on our staff a licensed Paralegal. Mike is here to help both Kim and Sandy with day to day issues that arise. He is also available for consultation with landlords. Mike is our legal strength should we need to appear at a hearing with a tenant.

Kim is a licensed Real Estate Agent and as such has a great deal of knowledge with respect to evaluation of properties for the purpose of being a rental unit and what income might be obtained. A site visit is always our first step when taking on any new property. We also offer Pre-Purchase inspections to those who are interested in becoming landlords and investing in a rental property. While we are not house inspectors, we do look for issues that could be a liability to a landlord. Swimming pools, swing sets, hand rails on stairs just to name a few things.
