Tenant placement

Tenant placement in Brampton, once per vacancy

Listing, showings, screening and the signed lease. It is the largest single cost after the monthly percentage, and it is charged per placement rather than every month.

Call (613) 324-9141 What placement costs
  • quoted before the listing goes up
  • charged once the lease is signed
  • showings run by the manager

What placement covers

Everything between vacant and signed

It begins with pricing the unit from what comparable homes actually leased for nearby, not from what similar units are currently asking. Asking prices include the ones sitting empty because they are priced wrong.

Then marketing: photographs, listing copy and the portals the unit appears on. Showings are run by the manager rather than left to a lockbox, because a showing is also the first read on an applicant.

Applications go through screening on one written standard, and the lease is signed with the deposit collected and the move-in inspection booked before keys change hands.

The lease-up

How a Brampton unit gets filled, four steps

  1. Price it

    Set from local comparables that actually leased, because a month empty costs more than the difference in rent.

  2. List it

    Photographs, listing copy and the portals, with the unit shown only once it is ready to show.

  3. Screen applicants

    Credit, income and references on the same standard for everyone who applies.

  4. Sign and hand over

    Lease signed, deposit collected, condition report completed and keys released.

How it is charged

Why the leasing fee changes the total

Standard ranges are 50% to 100% of one month of rent. On a unit at $2,400 that is $1,200 to $2,400, charged when the lease is signed rather than spread across the term. The placement fee page sets out what moves it.

Run it together with the monthly percentage before comparing two managers. A provider charging a full month on placement plus 10% ongoing reaches about 18% of rent across year one, which is a different figure to the one advertised.

Turnover frequency decides whether that matters. One fee spread over a three-year tenancy is a modest cost; the same fee charged annually is not, which is why screening and renewals are worth as much as the listing.

Brampton tenant placement questions

The questions that decide the cost.

When the lease is signed, not when the unit is listed. If a unit does not lease, the fee is not charged, though marketing costs may still apply on some agreements.
It should not. A renewal with the same tenant usually carries a smaller renewal fee instead. Ask specifically, because this varies between providers and the difference over a few years is real.
We do, on the standard form the jurisdiction requires, with any property-specific terms added as a schedule rather than buried in the body of the agreement.
Usually yes. Placement only means we price, market, show, screen and sign, then hand you the tenant. There is no monthly percentage after that.
A manager, rather than a lockbox. A showing is the first direct read on an applicant, and that observation feeds into screening alongside the documents.
The lease governs it, and the unit is relisted as soon as access allows. A second placement fee is charged only if a new tenancy is actually created.

Listed with professional photos on a Monday, twelve showings by the weekend, three screened applicants by the following Wednesday.

★★★★★

They recommended the second applicant over the first with the file to back it up. That tenant is in year three.

Aisha V.

★★★★★

The lease they use is the standard form with the right addenda for my unit. The tenant understood it at signing.

Jill L.
Brampton
★★★★

Placement fee charged once when the tenant signed, exactly as quoted. Nothing at renewal.
