Placement fees

What a tenant placement fee costs in Brampton

Filling a vacancy is charged separately from managing the tenancy, and it is the single largest one-off in most agreements. Half a month to a full month of rent is the range, with renewals charged separately again.

The one-off

Half a month to a full month

Every one of the five cost surveys puts the tenant placement fee between 50% and 100% of one month rent. It covers the lease-up process end to end rather than a single showing.

That work is rental positioning, photography, listing, fielding enquiries, conducting showings, comprehensive tenant screening, the lease itself, then key delivery and the move-in condition report.

How it is actually done is on tenant placement and rental marketing, and the standard applied to applicants is on screening.

What you are buying

The Brampton lease-up process, four steps

  1. Market assessment

    Positioning the unit against what is actually renting nearby, not against last year.

  2. Listing and showings

    Photography, portal listings, enquiry handling and conducting showings in person.

  3. Screening and selection

    Income verification, credit and references against one written standard for everyone.

  4. Lease and key delivery

    Lease signed, deposit taken, condition report photographed, then keys handed over.

The number that matters

Add placement to ongoing

A provider charging 100% on placement plus 10% ongoing is, on a $2,400 rental, running at roughly 18% in year one. That combined figure is the honest comparison, and almost nobody advertises it.

It also explains why tenant retention is worth more than a slightly keener headline rate. A tenancy that renews twice avoids two placement fees, which dwarfs a point of monthly percentage.

Renewal is charged at $100 to $400 in most schedules. These are example ranges rather than quotes. See what our agreement covers, how renewal runs, or ask for the schedule.

Brampton tenant placement fee questions

The questions owners ask about placement.

Fifty to one hundred percent of one month rent, which all five cost surveys agree on. It covers the whole lease-up process rather than a single showing, and these are typical ranges.
On every new tenancy, yes. Renewals are charged separately and far more cheaply, usually $100 to $400, which is one reason retention is worth more than a keener monthly rate.
Market assessment, rental positioning, photography, listings, conducting showings, comprehensive tenant screening, the lease, key delivery and the photo-documented move-in condition report.
Some owners do, and the fee is then not charged. The screening standard still applies before anyone signs, because a poorly selected tenant costs far more than a placement fee.
Placement plus ongoing combined. At one hundred percent placement and ten percent monthly on a $2,400 rental, that is roughly eighteen percent in year one. Pricing depends on the property.
No. Placement is priced on the work of listing, showing and screening, not on the days it takes, so a fast let costs the same as a slow one.

★★★★★

Placement fee quoted as a fraction of one month's rent, in writing, with what it covered listed underneath. No add-ons appeared later.

★★★★★

They explained why the placement fee is separate from the monthly fee and what I would get for it. The unit leased in eleven days.

Lena P.
Brampton
★★★★★

Compared four companies. Theirs was the only placement fee that included the professional photos and the credit checks.

Sofia Z.
Oakville
★★★★★

The fee was charged once, when the tenant signed, and not again at renewal. Exactly as the proposal said.
