The Northern approach

One team, from first showing to year-end.

You get a single point of contact who knows your property, backed by an in-house team for leasing, maintenance and accounting. No handoffs, no runaround.

  • Local and boutique. We only manage where we can be there in person, same day.
  • Owner-aligned. We earn on collected rent, so filling and keeping your unit is our job too.
  • Tech plus people. A modern owner portal, with a real person on the other end of it.
  • Nothing hidden. Maintenance is billed at cost, and every dollar shows up on your statement.
What we handle

Full-service, from lease to ledger.

Everything it takes to run a residential rental well, under one roof and one monthly statement.

Marketing and leasing

Professional photos, listings on every major rental site, and showings that fill vacancies quickly.

Resident screening

Credit, income, employment and rental history, verified against clear criteria before anyone signs.

Lease administration

Ontario-standard leases, renewals, rent increases and notices, all handled to code.

Rent collection

Digital rent, automatic reminders, and funds deposited to your account by a set date each month.

Maintenance and repairs

A 24/7 line and vetted local trades, coordinated end to end and billed with no mark-up.

Inspections

Move-in, seasonal and move-out inspections, documented with photos so nothing is a surprise.

Financial reporting

Clear monthly statements, year-end summaries, and tax-ready records for your accountant.

Owner portal

A live view of your property, statements and open work orders, on any device, any time.

Compliance and LTB

We keep you onside with Ontario rules and represent you at the Landlord and Tenant Board when needed.

Getting started

Onboarding in four steps.

Most owners are up and running with Northern inside a week. Here is how it goes.

01

A quick call

Fifteen minutes for us to understand your property, your goals and your timeline.

02

Review and proposal

We assess the unit, suggest a market rent, and send a clear written proposal with our fees.

03

Onboarding

We take on the paperwork, photograph and list the unit, and welcome any current residents.

04

Ongoing management

Rent and statements start flowing. From here, the day-to-day is ours to run.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing.

No setup fees, no long lock-in, and no mark-up on maintenance. You only pay a management fee on rent we actually collect.

We handed Northern a building that was half full and behind on repairs. A year later it is fully leased, the reporting is spotless, and I have my weekends back.
