100% Rent Guarantee, How did it come about?

Why We Offer a 100% Rent Guarantee: A New Way to Protect Your Investment

When we first introduced the idea of a 100% Rent Guarantee in our office, even our own team needed a moment to wrap their heads around it. But once we looked at the numbers and, more importantly, the real-world stress faced by landlords, we knew it was the right move.

One of the biggest concerns for real estate investors is unpaid rent. The bills keep coming—mortgage, insurance, taxes—but without rent coming in, the financial pressure can build fast. So, how could we help protect our clients from that risk?

Understanding the Reality of Arrears

As a company, we take it seriously when a client doesn't receive their rent due to a tenant falling behind. Statistically, our own arrears rate is well below the industry average. Still, we recognize that even if just one of your properties experiences this, the impact on your financial peace of mind is huge.

Let’s take a look at some industry numbers:

• In 2020, CMHC estimated that 10.68% of rental units in Toronto were in arrears.
• By 2024, the PayProp Rental Index reported that 18.3% of tenants were in arrears in the first quarter alone.

These numbers are staggering—and they're not just statistics. They're the reality faced by thousands of landlords, made worse by delays at the Landlord and Tenant Board.

What Makes Us Different?

We dug into our own performance data and confirmed what we already knew: even through the pandemic, our tough screening process, tenant education, and proactive management practices kept our arrears significantly lower than the market average.

This wasn't just a lucky trend—it was long-term performance backed by strategy and systems.

Time for a Paradigm Shift

We started thinking differently. In many industries, extended warranties are offered to protect consumers from worst-case scenarios. Buy a fridge, a car, or a laptop, and you have the option to pay a bit more for peace of mind. So why not apply that same concept to property management?

That’s how the idea for our 100% Rent Guarantee was born.
