Leasing

Vacancy strategy, marketing, applicant qualification, and lease execution run as a workstream under Tenant and Lease Management. Calibrated to the asset's tenant audience.

What we do

Leasing inside an institutional portfolio is a calibrated workstream, not a retail product. The asset plan defines the tenant audience. Marketing is built for that audience rather than blasted across every consumer board indiscriminately. Applicant qualification follows documented criteria written into the engagement. Lease drafting uses the right standard form for the jurisdiction with portfolio specific addenda where the asset requires them.

The portfolio manager owns the leasing decisions. Showings, screening, and lease execution run on a fixed timeline against a vacancy budget that is reported against every cycle. Owners see the screening file and the recommendation before any keys move. Time on market is reported with commentary, not just as a number.

Problem we solve, how we solve it

Where leasing commonly breaks down.

Specific operating failures behind leasing, and the disciplined-process answer to each.

Problem we solve

Vacancy losses run into the thousands per month.

An empty Toronto two-bedroom at $2,800 per month is roughly $93 per day in lost rent. Owner-managed listings typically sit five to seven weeks per CMHC fall 2024 data.

$3,200 to $4,500

Lost rent on a typical owner-managed GTA vacancy.

How we solve it

Listings live across the major boards in one push.

Professional photos. Syndicated copy. Inquiry triage inside one business day. Median time to lease across our active markets is eighteen to twenty-six days based on 2024 placements.

Problem we solve

Owners screen between work meetings, then regret it.

Volunteering to play screening agent on top of a day job is how bad applicants slip through. Reference calls get skipped. Income proofs get accepted without a second look.

How we solve it

Your manager handles every showing and every screen.

We meet the applicants. We pull the credit. We call the prior landlord. You see the recommendation and approve before any keys move.

    Property walk

    Your dedicated manager visits the unit in person, photographs the condition, meets the tenant if occupied, and writes a baseline report.

    Written proposal with the service mix, realistic rent projection for the neighborhood, and clear pricing. Typically within one business day.

  4. 04

  5. 05

    Day to day

    Your manager handles rent, repairs, vendor dispatch, inspections, and tenant communication. You keep the phone number. You stay in control.

  7. 07
