Property, lease up periods, and tenancies that are well-managed appreciate the greatest over time. Our vision is to be being vigilant, just and fair to property owners and renters alike. By nurturing the tenant/landlord relationship, good property management ensures a longer, more satisfied renting experience.
OUR FIRMJensen Property Management represents first time landlords and existing investors looking to grow their portfolios.
We manage all kinds of properties including single family residential, student accommodations, condos, and small, multi-unit dwellings. We specialize in stabilizing distressed tenancies.
We are the affordable alternative. We make this possible by allowing property owners to manage their own finances. Renter money does not flow through our accounts. Rents are paid directly to the landlord by the tenant. All third-party services are paid directly by the Landlord.
OUR SERVICESOur firm provides all the services expected from a Property Manager:
OUR FEESLike any investment, management fees affect the bottom line. The average property management fee in Kingston rages between 7 and 12% of gross monthly rent. The average ‘lease-up’ fee to secure a tenant is equal to one months rent.
We have years of experience representing landlords and first-time property investors.
When it comes to managing your property, finding and keeping your tenants, let us take care of it all.
“A vacant property is always better than a bad tenant”.
We handle the entire marketing process. We take photos of the unit, create an inviting ad, and list the unit across multiple platforms to increase exposure and attract quality tenants.
Interested parties are pre-screened first. Then we coordinate their choice of virtual or physical showings.
Our application form is thorough and deliberate. Our vetting process is diligent to ensure the best possible candidates apply.
We will continue to search until a quality tenant is selected for your property.
Once a qualified tenant has been selected, we negotiate and prepare the lease agreement for e-signatures.
To best protect our clients, our lease agreements exceed the Ontario Standard Lease Agreement. We have prepared extensive, custom appendices in consultation with legal professionals while maintaining legislative compliance.
We track and monitor existing lease timelines, renewals, terminations, and rent increases in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act.
“No Mark-up, No Hidden Fees”
We manage all maintenance requests and routine inspections.
Our firm does not mark up services provided by third parties. We coordinate the service and the Landlord is billed directly by the service provider.
Maintenance repairs and costs are then discussed and evaluated with our clients to determine the best actions.
We consistently develop relationships with reliable, local, affordable trades, and service providers to properly maintain every property we manage.
Regular inspections are an integral part of protecting any investment. Once a year is not enough.
We provide bi-annual unit inspections, move-in/move-out inspections, intermittent inspections and provide follow up reports for each inspection.
We check smoke alarms, check filters and inspect for damages.
Most insurance providers require regular weekly inspections of any vacant units to ensure the maintenance and security of your assets. While your property is vacant JPM will perform weekly site visits to inspect for damage, security, and general property maintenance like lawn care. Reports provided.
