Owner responsibilities:

  • Monthly Strata Fees (aka  Maintenance Fees, Condo Association Fees): 
    These are generally paid by direct debit from your bank account to the strata. Please contact your strata agent to set up. We will be happy to provide assistance with this.
  • Property Taxes: 
    The City of Vancouver levies poperty taxes (aka known as rates) to cover the costs of garbage removal, water etc. These are payable bi-annually on February 1 and July 1 of each year. However, we suggest that you fill out the tax installment form and pay monthly. (Helps cash flow and you always know you are paid up). Here is a link to the City of Vancouver website: http://vancouver.ca/fs/treasury/tipp/index.htm
  • Suite Insurance: 
    This is separate from the insurance that is paid to the Strata Corporation.  This covers you for loss of rent, liability an other assorted claims. It is very inexpensive (generally around $20 per month) and provides a lot of peace of mind. We will provide a quote for you with our agreement.
  • Personal Income taxes: 
    All rental income is taxable. All expenses including our fees are tax deductions. You only pay tax on your NET income. For any accounting questions, please contact your acountant.
  • Capital Gains Tax: 
    When an investment property is sold the Canadian government taxes the NET profit at a rate of 25% approximately.  Of course our fees are deductions against your Capital Gains.  Another good reason to hire us as professional rental managers. Pay us now and let us do the work for you or pay the Government of Canada later and you do all the work!
