In the past, there have been many headline news reports of unethical and illegal practices of rental units.
We at Homesgate Inc. believe that honesty and integrity are the foundations of what makes a company great. We want to be fully transparent and forthright with our partnered landlords. We want you to believe in our vision and our process. Most of all, we want to earn your trust by delivering strong results year after year.
At Homesgate Rentals, we have a One Tenant Policy. This means only one person is allowed to reside in each available private room. Tenants will be allowed to have guest/visitors but must follow the Homesgate House Rules and guidelines stipulated in the tenant agreement. This will prevent your rental house from being over occupied and ensure a safe environment for all residents.
Once you partner with Homesgate, we immediately get to work. Our team at Homesgate Rentals will list your rental house on our powerful online web platform for greater reach and exposure. Our tenant placement program will have a list of pre-screened and verified tenants ready to be placed in the suitable rental unit. Once all of the rooms for rent Toronto have been tenanted, Homesgate Management will handle all the tenant issues from then on.
Property management companies handle all of the duties that a landlord would have to deal with their rental houses in Toronto. Some of these related tasks involve rent collection, finding new tenants, pre-screening and verification of tenants, check in/out tenants, inquiries from tenants, maintenance and repair work, property inspections and much more. Whether the unit is for long term rentals or a short term rentals Toronto, contracting a professional property management company can serve to be a good long term investment decision.
Property management companies can charge on average 10%-12% of the total monthly rent collected. For example, Mr X rents out his property at a price of $3000 per month. He hires ABC Property Management Co. to manage his rental unit. ABC Management Co. charges 10% of total rent collected per month. The total cost would be $300 per month ($3000 x 0.10) and $3600 per annum ($300 x 12 months).
At Homesgate Management Inc, we do not charge our landlords any fees. To inquire further, reach out to our management team we will be glad to provide you more information.
The traditional way of renting a home is to rent the entire home to a single family. This is an essential service to our community as many single families require a place to live. We understand this is integral part of what makes up our society and it is necessary to provide this service.
Homesgate focuses on providing accommodations to single individuals in search of a room for rent Toronto while others, prefer renting to a single family. It’s not that a Toronto room for rent is better than renting out the entire home. It’s more that we are providing a service to a subsect of renters within the entire rental market. There are some properties that are better suited for a single family while others, would be well suited for a single individual. For example, a property located nearby a college/university or in a busy financial district in downtown Toronto would be better suited to rent out to single individual(s) and working professionals rather than to a single family.
No. While we are aware of popular sites that have gained much interest in recent years, we do not offer this type of accommodation. Popular Short term rentals Toronto (STR) sites offer nightly and weekly accommodation, similar to that of a hotel/motel. The three main factors which separates us from the those STR sites is:
(1) Our term is longer in duration. Ideally we prefer to find, accept and finally place tenants in suitable units with an 2-3x turnover per year. This means on average, tenants looking for place with a minimum 3-4 month term. We also welcome and accommodate longer term durations (1 year or more).
(2) Our pre-screening/verification process. We have a careful and detailed process of screening potential tenants to establish credible candidates. Applicants are restricted from reserving accommodations prior to verification and pre-screening. Only after the verification process has been completed, can a candidate request to rent one of our rooms.
(3) We require tenant insurance for all individuals residing in our units. This is a standard practice even among the traditional rental agreements.
We encourage you to read the City of Toronto bylaws specifically pertaining to Short Term Rentals Toronto.
