Leasing/Renting process
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Advertising and Marketing
Our goal is always focussed towards finding the best tenants for your properties. We have a comprehensive marketing strategy that lists our rentals for successful results. Our marketing team tirelessly works to ensure that your rental property reaches the largest number of people possible. We advertise the properties across many medias including our website, Rental Advertising Portals, Social- Media, and local websites. Our aim is to capture potential tenants from Calgary/surrounding areas, outside Calgary and Canada as a whole.
Showings
Prospective tenants contact us via email, text, call or through our website for more information regarding the rental property and then schedule a viewing. Our team works hard to ensure that the rental enquiries are responded to promptly and viewing appointments are scheduled in a timely fashion to expedite the process. We also offer virtual showings via video calls to attract potential tenants who may be looking for rental properties from out of town. After the showings, the interested parties apply for the property.
Processing & Screening of Applications
For a home to remain tenanted and in good shape, it requires the best tenants to occupy it. It is for the same reason our team follows a very rigorous step by step process of verification to verify every application submitted by potential tenants. We ensure that all required information is acquired, and we make sure we verify all the information we have about the applicants. Employment details, current rental address, Landlord contact information, Pet information and Credit Status etc. are some of the required information on our rental application. Our custom in-house screening combines our experience and personalised verification system to keep the bad tenants out and attract long-term, high-quality tenants. If everything is as we expect, we proceed and contact the tenant to offer the property.
Signing a Lease
The chosen applicant is invited to sign the Lease for the property, physically at our office or anywhere it is mutually convenient for both parties. We also have an electronic signature option for people who may opt to sign virtually. Our Lease, Amendments and Lease Renewal documents have been drafted keeping in mind all aspects of tenancy in pursuance to Alberta Residential Tenancy Act. We collect a Holding Fee equivalent to one month’s rent (that goes towards the first month’s rent) at the time of Lease Signing.
Move-In and Key Handover
Once the Lease is signed successfully and the holding fee is collected, we set up a time with the tenants to conduct a thorough Move-In inspection and key handover. The tenant is required to provide a Damage Deposit equivalent to one month’s rent on or before Move-In.
Handling Move-In deficiencies
Our Maintenance team takes care of any deficiencies that come up during the Move-In inspection.
