Rental house
House property management in Montreal
Renting out your house in Montreal or Greater Montreal? Gestion Localys handles the tenant search, lease follow-up, rent collection and maintenance, so your house stays rented and well maintained.
Former home, investment or inherited property: you get professional, personalized support.
Rent out your house without the day-to-day
A rental house needs special attention. Unlike a condo, there is no condo board to take care of the roof, the facade or the yard: all the building's upkeep falls on the owner.
We take over. You keep the income from your house, and we handle the tenant, their requests and the repairs.
Finding and screening tenants
A house often attracts families looking to settle in for several years. Choosing that tenant carefully is key to a worry-free rental.
We organize and conduct showings, receive applications and run a thorough tenant screening: credit, references and background.
Lease and rent follow-up
Once the lease is signed, we collect the rent, answer the tenant's requests and follow up on the lease, including at renewal time.
You receive regular reports on your house's income and expenses.
Maintenance and repairs
In a house, the owner is responsible for the whole building: roof, foundation, plumbing, heating, windows. The tenant takes care of minor maintenance repairs.
We coordinate repairs with a network of trusted contractors and handle major emergencies 24/7, such as water damage or a heating failure in the middle of winter.
Also make sure the lease states who handles snow removal and yard maintenance: it is a common source of misunderstandings with tenants of a house.

Frequently asked questions about rental house management
Who handles snow removal and the yard of a rented house?
It depends on the lease: the Tribunal administratif du logement lease form has a section to state who is responsible. That is why it should be clearly specified at signing.
What happens in an emergency at my rental house?
Major emergencies, such as water damage or a heating failure, are handled 24/7 by our team, which coordinates the contractors' work.
Can I rent out my house while living abroad?
Yes. Our team takes care of your house on site and keeps you informed remotely through regular reports. If you do not reside in Canada, we act as your Canadian agent: we withhold non-resident tax on your rent and remit it to the Canada Revenue Agency.
Do you manage short-term house rentals?
No. We manage long-term residential rentals. We do not offer short-term rental management such as Airbnb.
