Renting Out
Your Property

Our published fee schedule is coming soon. Book a free 15-minute consultation and we'll give you a quote for your home, with what's included.

It depends on the home, its price, and the season. We recommend a rent based on current comparable rentals, then market the home with professional photos and listings on the major rental sites. Your free rent evaluation includes what to expect for your home.

Every applicant completes a written application. We verify identity, income, and employment, speak with previous landlords, and run a credit check with the applicant's consent. We then recommend the applicant we would choose and explain why; the final decision is yours.

Rent can go up once every 12 months, by no more than the yearly limit set by the province: 2.3% for increases taking effect in 2026 and 2.2% in 2027. The tenant must receive at least three full months' notice on the official Notice of Rent Increase form (RTB-7).

A security deposit and a pet damage deposit can each be up to half of one month's rent. After the tenancy ends, the deposit must be returned or claimed through the Residential Tenancy Branch within 15 days of the later of the end date and receiving the tenant's forwarding address in writing.

Yes. The landlord and tenant inspect the home together at move-in and move-out and record it on the Condition Inspection Report (RTB-27). A landlord who doesn't offer the inspection can lose the right to claim against the deposit for damage, so we schedule and document every one.

Since November 2022, strata corporations in BC can no longer use bylaws to prohibit or limit rentals, except in age-restricted (55+) buildings. Tenants must follow the strata bylaws, and each new tenant signs the strata's Notice of Tenant's Responsibilities (Form K).

Tell your insurer the home is rented: a regular homeowner policy usually doesn't cover a tenanted home, so you'll need a landlord or rental policy. We also ask tenants to carry their own tenant insurance for their belongings and liability.

Yes, and we can handle everything locally. For non-resident owners, the property manager must withhold 25% of the gross rent for the Canada Revenue Agency and remit it by the 15th of the following month. With an approved Form NR6, tax is withheld on the net rent instead, and you file a section 216 return; we work alongside your accountant.

A Vancouver home rented to an unrelated tenant for at least six months of the year, in periods of 30 or more consecutive days, is generally exempt from the Empty Homes Tax. The provincial Speculation and Vacancy Tax has a similar exemption for homes rented for at least six months under a written tenancy agreement. You still need to file both declarations every year.

You can end a tenancy for your own or a close family member's use, but the notice must be generated through the Residential Tenancy Branch's online system and gives the tenant at least three months. The tenant receives one month's rent as compensation, and you can owe 12 months' rent if the home isn't used for the stated purpose.

Yes. We use the official Residential Tenancy Branch forms for agreements, inspections, rent increases, and notices, and our free BC tenancy forms tool lets you prepare them yourself in your browser.
