Why individual landlords choose MoveSmart
Structured, transparent, fully handled
Three commitments built into every individual-landlord engagement. Same process whether you own one unit or several.
Nothing upfront
No setup fees, no retainers, no monthly minimums. We earn a leasing success fee only when a qualified tenant is signed and moved in.
Structured screening
Credit, employment, income, references, and rental history are documented for every applicant. The full file lives in your portal so you see exactly what we see before you approve.
Rental protection pathways
Optional rent protection, damage protection, and tenant insurance coordination surfaced through vetted partners at the right moment in your leasing flow.
Familiar problems
The way it usually goes vs the way we run it
Six things individual landlords routinely handle alone, and how our process replaces each one with a documented step.
The familiar pain
You posted on a free site and got 40 unqualified messages, no real applicants.
How we handle it
We syndicate to MLS, Realtor.ca, and 20+ rental portals with professional photos and a virtual tour, and our team filters every lead against your criteria before you ever see them.
The familiar pain
You took time off work to host showings and the no-show rate was 60%.
How we handle it
Showing coordination is run by our local leasing agent. Confirmed appointments, GPS-logged visits, and a single agent of record on the file.
The familiar pain
You approved a tenant on instinct and the rent stopped coming three months in.
How we handle it
Every applicant is screened against a documented checklist. Credit, employment, income verification, previous landlord references, and rental history review, all in writing in your portal.
The familiar pain
You used a generic lease template and felt exposed when something went sideways.
How we handle it
We execute a province-compliant or state-compliant lease, collect deposits, and complete a documented move-in inspection. Everything is archived in your portal.
The familiar pain
You worry about what happens if the tenant stops paying or damages the unit.
How we handle it
We surface optional rent protection, damage protection, and tenant insurance partner pathways. You decide whether to enroll.
The familiar pain
You only own one or two units and feel like a small client to most leasing firms.
How we handle it
Our process runs the same way whether you own one basement suite or fifty doors. Same portal, same dashboards, same accountable team.

From an individual landlord file
“I own one rental and the last time I tried to lease it on my own, I lost two months and approved the wrong person. With MoveSmart I saw every applicant’s file in the portal, said yes to one, and the lease was signed in under three weeks. The screening alone was worth the fee.”
Built for one-unit owners
From the basement suite to the family condo
The same disciplined leasing process whether you own one rental or fifty. Here are the everyday checkpoints.
Your unit
Single condo, single-family rental, basement suite — same playbook.
Strategic pricing
Live comps and seasonality shown before you approve a number.
Coordinated showings
Your local agent of record runs every viewing.
Documented screening
Credit, employment, references, rental history — all in your portal.
Lease execution
Province- or state-compliant lease, signed and archived.
Move-in day
Inspection report and keys handed off in person.
Optional partner pathways
Rental protection options
We do not collect rent or hold reserves on your behalf. Instead, we surface three categories of optional protection through vetted partners. You decide whether to enroll, and the cost and terms come from the partner directly.
Rent protection pathways
Optional guaranteed rental income coverage through vetted partner programs. Surfaced at the right moment in your leasing flow once a tenant is qualified, so you can opt in before move-in.
Damage protection pathways
Partner pathways for accidental property damage coverage above the security deposit. Useful for owners who want a protection layer without entering an ongoing management agreement.
Tenant insurance coordination
We require qualifying tenants to carry tenant content and liability insurance, and coordinate the policy reference into the lease packet on your behalf.
What is typically covered
- Loss of rent up to a defined cap when an enrolled tenant defaults
- Accidental damage above the security deposit when enrolled
- Tenant liability and content coverage attached to every lease
- Documented partner-pathway terms surfaced in your portal
What is not covered
- Ordinary wear and tear or maintenance issues
- Pre-existing damage at move-in (captured in the inspection)
- Periods after the engagement closes (move-in coordination ends our scope)
- Owner-side liability beyond what the partner program defines
Available where MoveSmart has direct underwriting partnerships. Subject to qualification, partner approval, and applicable state or province requirements. Partner pricing and terms are disclosed before enrollment.
No upfront fee
Pay nothing upfront. We earn when your property is leased
- No setup fees, no retainers, no monthly minimums.
- We absorb the cost of pricing, photography, marketing, syndication, showings, and screening.
- A single leasing success fee is invoiced once a qualified tenant signs the lease.
