For Property Owners

Full-service leasing. Real Results.

Strategic pricing, professional marketing, structured screening, and clean lease execution - from listing to move-in. Nothing due upfront. Standard leasing success fee on placement.

The Problem

The leasing aches owners hit across 20+ markets

Four friction points show up in nearly every owner conversation. Here’s how we resolve each one — by design, not by exception.

Pain 01

Pricing & Vacancy

The Problem

Vacant units sitting empty for weeks while you guess at the right asking rent.

How MoveSmart fixes it

Strategic, data-backed pricing on day one — calibrated to live comps in your neighbourhood, not last year’s averages. Most listings reach signed lease in roughly 18 days.

Marketing & Reach

The Problem

Listing photos that do not sell the unit and copy that gets lost in the feed.

How MoveSmart fixes it

Professional photography, virtual tours, and editorial listing copy syndicated to MLS, Realtor.ca, and the major rental websites the same day prep wraps.

Showings & Screening

The Problem

Applicant chaos: a flood of inquiries, no-show showings, and screening you cannot defend.

How MoveSmart fixes it

Showings coordinated and confirmed by our team. Every applicant runs through a structured, documented screen — credit, employment, references, rental history — visible to you in the portal.

Lease & Move-In

The Problem

Pricing guesswork, sloppy lease paperwork, and a messy move-in that sets the tenancy off badly.

How MoveSmart fixes it

Province-compliant lease execution, deposits and first-month collected on signing, key handover and move-in inspection coordinated end-to-end. Rent protection and partner insurance pathways available where applicable.

We do not get paid until your unit is leased. That single line re-writes every other line on this page.

The MoveSmart promise

The Contract

Ten commitments, written into every owner agreement

Not marketing copy - clauses. Each line below appears verbatim in the leasing agreement you sign.

01

Nothing Upfront-Standard leasing success fee is paid only on placement. No setup fees, no retainers, nothing due to start.

02

Self-Serve Online-Onboard, list, and track everything online. No mandatory phone calls - book a call only if you want one.

03

Dedicated Account Manager (Optional)-A single named contact who knows your file end-to-end, available to owners who want a hands-on point of contact.

04

Tech + Brick-and-Mortar Execution-Modern listing tools and screening pipelines backed by licensed brokers and on-the-ground showing teams in every market we serve.

05

Full Portal Visibility-Live view of showings, applicants, screening, approvals, counter-offers, inspections, and the full communication history.

06

Property Preparation-Photography, virtual tours, painting, cleaning, junk removal, landscaping, handyman, and short-term financing support to get your unit lease-ready.

07

MLS + Major Rental Websites-Listings distributed to MLS, Realtor.ca, the major rental portals, and our social channels for maximum applicant volume in week one.

08

Structured, Documented Screening-Credit, employment, references, and rental history - every applicant, every time, with the file visible to you before you approve.

09

Rent Protection + Insurance Pathways-Optional partner pathways for rent protection and landlord insurance, surfaced at the right moment in your leasing flow.

10

Time-Bound Listing Promise-Your unit goes live on MLS and 20+ rental portals within 72 hours of contract sign-off — photography, copy, and syndication included. If we miss that window, the engagement is yours to walk away from with zero obligation.

The owner promise

A leasing process you can actually see. Evenings that stay yours.
