What we do

A bad placement is months of lost rent, legal exposure, and asset damage. Single's screening process runs the same way on every applicant under our care. Identity verification, bureau credit, employment, income confirmation, prior landlord references, and jurisdictional history check where the data is available. Decisions follow the criteria set in the engagement and run against the applicable fair housing and human rights rules in every jurisdiction.

Problem we solve, how we solve it

Where tenant screening commonly breaks down.

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

Problem we solve

Generic screens miss jurisdiction-specific risk.

Off-the-shelf US-style screens often skip Ontario LTB history, the most predictive single signal we have for non-payment risk. One bad placement is ten months of unpaid rent and recovery costs.

How tenant screening runs

From the first principal call through ongoing portfolio operations.

The same disciplined path applied to every portfolio under our care.

  1. 01

    Intake call

    We learn about your unit, your tenant situation, and what is and is not working today. No deck. No pitch. A working call.

  2. 02

    Property walk

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

    Plan and proposal

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

  4. 04

    Handoff

    Lease, ledger, vendor contacts, and tenant relationship transfer cleanly to your manager. We send introduction notices that comply with the RTA.

  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.
