Ottawa Owner FAQ

Questions from Ottawa owners.

01

How much does property management cost in Ottawa with Capital Stays?

Long-term management is 8–10% of monthly rent, and tenant placement is one month’s rent with a $1,500 minimum; lease renewals are $200. Short-term (Airbnb) management is 18–20% of monthly revenue, and mid-term furnished rentals are priced on a custom basis.

02

Do you manage condos in Ottawa?

Yes. We manage condos as well as houses and townhomes. For condos, the building’s declaration, bylaws and rules can limit how a unit is rented, particularly for short-term rentals, so they are worth checking before choosing a rental strategy.

03

Which Ottawa neighbourhoods do you serve?

Ottawa is our home base. We manage properties across the city, including Centretown, the Glebe, Byward Market, Westboro, Vanier, Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven and Orleans.

04

How do Ontario landlord and tenant rules affect my rental?

Long-term residential tenancies in Ontario are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, which sets rules on leases, rent increases, notices and maintenance. We follow these requirements in our day-to-day management, but we do not provide legal advice; for specific legal questions, please consult a lawyer or paralegal.

05

Can I switch between short-term and long-term rental in Ottawa?

It depends. The right approach depends on your property, the City of Ottawa short-term rental rules and, for condos, your building’s rules. We’re happy to talk it through in a consultation.
