Our tenant screening process is thorough and compliant with Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board regulations. We start by reviewing the rental application, followed by a credit check and a background check. We also verify employment, income, and previous rental history. This comprehensive process ensures we select reliable tenants who will respect the property and meet their rental obligations.
To apply for a rental property managed by Golfi Property Management, visit our website and browse our available listings. Once you find a property you’re interested in, click on the listing to view more details and submit an online application. You’ll need to provide personal information, employment details, and possibly references. Our team will review your application and contact you with the next steps.
n Ontario, landlords are not allowed to charge security deposits. However, landlords can request the last month’s rent deposit, which is held and applied to the last rental period. This deposit cannot be used for damages or unpaid rent during the tenancy. Any interest earned on the deposit must be paid to the tenant annually.
Yes, you can sublet your rental unit in Ontario, but you must obtain written consent from your landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold consent. The original tenant remains responsible for the lease and ensuring the subtenant adheres to its terms. Any agreement should be documented to protect all parties involved.
To submit a maintenance request for your rental unit, please contact GOLFI Property Management directly. You can either call our office or use our online portal to log your request. Ensure you provide detailed information about the issue so we can address it promptly and efficiently.
Terminating your lease agreement early in Ontario can be challenging, but it’s possible under certain conditions. Start by reviewing your lease for any early termination clauses. If none exist, you’ll need to provide proper notice, typically 60 days before your intended move-out date. You can also consider subletting your unit or assigning the lease to a new tenant, but both options require approval from Golfi Property Management and adherence to the Residential Tenancies Act. Contact us directly to discuss your situation and explore available options.
To end a tenancy in Ontario, you must follow these steps:
Provide Written Notice: Submit a written notice to Golfi Property Management. This notice should include your name, address, and the intended end date of the tenancy.
Timing of Notice: The notice period typically depends on the rental type. For monthly rentals, provide at least 60 days’ notice. For weekly rentals, 28 days’ notice is required.
Notice Form: Use the proper form provided by the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), such as Form N9 (Tenant’s Notice to End the Tenancy).
Delivery of Notice: Deliver the notice by hand, mail, or electronically if agreed upon in the lease agreement.
For specific guidance and to ensure compliance with all legal requirements, contact Golfi Property Management directly.
