Brossard is attracting more and more tenants thanks to the REM, Quartier DIX30 and its proximity to Montreal. For a landlord, that’s a great opportunity, but also work: finding tenants, collecting rent, handling repairs and following the rules of the Tribunal administratif du logement. That’s where a property manager can make a difference.
What a property manager does
- renting out the unit: listings, viewings, tenant screening;
- drafting and renewing leases;
- collecting rent and following up on late payments;
- maintenance, repairs and emergencies;
- relations with tenants and the condo association;
- tracking expenses and reporting to the owner.
When it’s worth it
A manager is especially useful if you live far from Brossard, own several units, are short on time or don’t want to handle tenant calls in the evening and on weekends. For a plex, they can also plan work and track the maintenance budget.
The rules to know
In Quebec, residential rentals are governed by the Civil Code and the Tribunal administratif du logement: lease on the mandatory form, notice of rent increase, repairs, repossession of a dwelling. A good manager knows these rules and helps you avoid costly mistakes. Also read our guide Renting Out Your Property in Brossard.

- check who holds the deposits and how rent is paid to you;
- ask for a sample monthly report;
- check their availability for emergencies;
