Property management fees in Ontario are usually a percentage of collected rent, sometimes with separate placement fees when a unit turns over.
Exact percentages vary by portfolio size, property type, and service level. Treat any online number as SAMPLE until you receive a written quote for your address.
Ask what the monthly fee covers. Core services typically include rent collection, tenant communication, maintenance coordination, and reporting. Placement, lease renewals, court applications, and major project management may be billed differently.
For Durham landlords, compare value against vacancy risk. A cheaper flat rate that leaves a Bowmanville house empty for eight weeks is not cheaper.
Condo units can have extra complexity: board rules, status certificates, and elevator bookings. Confirm those are handled.
Request a sample statement. If you cannot read the statement, you will not trust the relationship.
