Local market context in Thunder Bay

The Thunder Bay market presents specific exposure for leasing work. Thunder bay operates as a secondary rental hub within the ontario metro footprint with measurable demand for both single family rental and small-format multifamily. Local rules pull from Residential Tenancies Act 2006, administered by the Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario. For trade scope we pull a no permit for leasing scope where the work requires one. Older newer suburban single family in Thunder Bay Quarter and Thunder Bay Village asks for extra time for hidden conditions that fresh and basement secondary suites in Town Center rarely surfaces.
