LANDLORD & TENANT PLACEMENT SERVICES

A tenant placement service helps landlords market their rental property, connect with prospective tenants and navigate the leasing process.

At Tom Reburn, REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 United Realty Inc., our residential leasing services in Peterborough and the Kawarthas include:

• Rental Pricing & Property Review: Reviewing your property's features, condition and comparable rental listings to help establish a competitive asking rent.

• Property Marketing: Preparing and promoting your rental listing to reach prospective tenants.

• Inquiry Management & Showings: Responding to rental inquiries, coordinating appointments and conducting property viewings.

• Rental Applications & Screening: Collecting applications, employment and income documentation, references and available credit information for landlord review, with appropriate consent.

• Lease Preparation & Coordination: Assisting with the offer-to-lease process and coordinating the required Ontario residential tenancy paperwork.

Our goal is to make the leasing process more organized and provide landlords with the information they need to make confident, informed decisions.

Every rental property is different, but our approach follows a structured process designed to help Peterborough and Kawartha landlords navigate leasing with confidence.

1. Property Walkthrough & Rental Assessment

We start by reviewing your rental property, discussing its features, condition, availability and rental expectations. We identify any preparation needed before marketing and review comparable rentals to help establish a competitive asking price.

2. Listing Preparation & Marketing

We prepare your rental listing with property details, photography and video tours where appropriate. We market the property through available real estate channels and online platforms to reach prospective tenants.

3. Inquiries & Property Showings

Our team manages incoming rental inquiries, answers questions about the property, coordinates viewing appointments and follows up with interested applicants.

4. Rental Applications & Applicant Review

We collect rental applications and supporting documentation, which may include credit information, proof of income, employment details and references, with appropriate consent. We organize this information for the landlord's review so they can make an informed decision in accordance with Ontario's applicable requirements.

5. Offer to Lease & Documentation

Once a landlord selects an applicant, we assist with preparing and coordinating the offer-to-lease paperwork, signatures and required documentation, including the Ontario Standard Lease where applicable.

From the first walkthrough to the final paperwork, our goal is to keep the leasing process organized, transparent and moving forward.

Getting your rental property in front of the right audience is only the beginning. What happens after someone sees the listing matters just as much.

At Tom Reburn, REALTOR® with CENTURY 21 United Realty Inc., we combine professional rental marketing with an organized inquiry and showing process to help landlords throughout Peterborough and the Kawarthas connect with prospective tenants.

Professional Rental Listings

We create detailed rental listings that highlight your property's features, amenities, location and rental terms, helping prospective tenants understand what the property offers before booking a viewing.

Photography & Video Walkthroughs

Where appropriate, we use property photography and video tours to showcase the rental's layout and features. Video walkthroughs give prospective tenants an opportunity to explore the space before scheduling an in-person appointment.

Online Marketing & Rental Exposure

We promote available rentals through applicable real estate listing platforms, social media and our existing network of rental inquiries, helping properties reach people actively searching for a home in Peterborough.

Inquiry Management & Showing Coordination

Our team responds to inquiries, provides property information, coordinates viewing appointments and follows up with interested prospective tenants.

An Organized Application Process

When prospective tenants are ready to apply, we explain the application requirements and coordinate the collection of supporting documentation for landlord review.

Our focus is on more than generating inquiries. It's about creating a clear, organized path from initial interest to a completed rental application.

Your property is an investment. Your leasing strategy should reflect that.

How much does it cost to hire Tom Reburn to find a tenant?

Our residential leasing and tenant placement service costs one month's rent + HST.

This fee covers rental pricing guidance, property marketing, managing inquiries, coordinating showings, collecting rental applications, assisting with applicant screening and preparing lease documentation.

Whether you own a single rental home, a duplex or a multi-unit investment property in Peterborough and the Kawarthas, our goal is to simplify the leasing process and help you make an informed tenant selection.

How much should I charge for rent in Peterborough?

Rental pricing depends on your property's location, size, condition, amenities and current market competition. We review comparable rental listings and local market conditions to help you establish a competitive asking rent that reflects your property's features.

What documents should landlords request from prospective tenants?

Landlords may request relevant information to assess an application, including proof of income, employment information, rental references and credit information, with appropriate consent.

Tenant screening must comply with Ontario's Human Rights Code and applicable privacy requirements. Our team helps coordinate the application process and organize documentation for landlord review.

How long does it take to find a tenant in Peterborough?

Leasing timelines vary depending on rental price, property condition, location, availability and market demand.

A well-presented property with competitive pricing and a coordinated showing process can help attract prospective tenants, but no specific leasing timeline can be guaranteed.

Who makes the final decision about which tenant to approve?

The landlord makes the final tenant selection decision.

We help coordinate rental applications and supporting documentation so landlords can evaluate prospective tenants using consistent, lawful criteria.

Do landlords need to use the Ontario Standard Lease?

For most private residential tenancies covered by Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, the Ontario Standard Lease is required.

We help coordinate the necessary leasing paperwork, including offers to lease and the Ontario Standard Lease where applicable.
