Choosing where to live is about more than just finding a roof over your head—it’s about finding a home. At Canadian Apartment Properties REIT (CAPREIT), we understand the importance of this decision. When deciding where to rent, it’s important to understand the distinct differences between renting from an individual landlord like a condo owner and choosing a professionally managed property.
Landlords vs Professional Management Companies, what's the difference?
A landlord, often an individual condo owner, may offer a more casual arrangement but with unpredictable service levels and varying degrees of responsiveness. Repairs and maintenance are often handled at the convenience of the landlord, which can lead to delays and uncertainty. On the other hand, a professional management company, like CAPREIT, operates with structured processes and dedicated teams. From 24/7 maintenance support to regular property upkeep, professional managers prioritize efficiency and consistency. Here are a few more compelling reasons why a professional management company makes a difference:
Secure and Reliable Lease Agreements
Unlike situations where a condo owner might unexpectedly decide to end your lease, CAPREIT ensures stability and peace of mind. Our professional management approach guarantees that your tenancy is based on clear, reliable terms, providing you with a living environment where you can truly feel at home.
Professional Management You Can Count On
Say goodbye to unresponsive landlords! Each CAPREIT property is overseen by a team of caring and professional management staff dedicated to ensuring your home is well-maintained and comfortable. Whether you have a question, a maintenance request, or just need peace of mind, our teams are here to help.
Stress-Free Maintenance
Nobody enjoys the hassle of DIY fixes or waiting days for repairs. Condo owners might not have the resources or experience to handle maintenance issues promptly, which could lead to delays in resolving urgent matters. CAPREIT’s on-site maintenance professionals are always just a request away. Whether it’s a leaky faucet or a heating issue, your home is our priority. With a 24/7 Resident Portal, CAPREIT residents can submit service requests from start to finish – communicating with our team along the way.
Community and Belonging
When renting from a condo owner, you are just a room in a concrete structure. There are usually few opportunities to meet your neighbours or chances to build community connections.
At CAPREIT, renting isn’t just about finding a place to live—it’s about finding a home. Our communities are professionally managed to foster a warm, welcoming environment where residents feel cared for and connected.
Whether it’s meeting neighbours during one of our onsite events or simply enjoying your beautifully maintained surroundings, you’ll quickly see why so many people love calling CAPREIT home.
A Home for Every Lifestyle
CAPREIT, being Canada’s largest publicly-traded rental housing provider, offers a wide range of rental options – from cozy apartments to luxurious condos and spacious townhomes. No matter your budget or preferences, CAPREIT has the versatility and capacity to cater to your unique housing needs.
Contrarily, condo owners offering rentals have limited options, which may not always suit your requirements.
Quality You Can Trust
Renting with a private owner may introduce unpredictability, such as sudden changes in terms, unexpected lease terminations, or varying standards of upkeep and communication. CAPREIT continuously invests in its properties to provide a high-quality living experience, something not all condo owners may do.
When you choose CAPREIT, you’re not just renting a home—you’re joining a community that’s professionally managed and committed to your satisfaction. That’s why professional management makes all the difference.
