When choosing a new home, it’s important to know what you are getting. There are several differences between renting from a Property Management Company like Greenwin, compared to a private Landlord that can affect your rental experience. Below are some items to consider when choosing your next home:
Professionalism & Expertise
With over 450 team members across Ontario, Greenwin has dedicated and experienced professionals to assist with our renters’ everyday needs. From Building Representatives to maintenance and customer service, our team consists of experts in all areas to ensure prompt and effective responses.
With a private Landlord, you may be renting from an individual or smaller organization that simply doesn’t have the same resources. This can often lead to delays as the individual will have to rely on their personal knowledge or wait to outsource experts, as needed.
Maintenance Support
myGreenwin is Greenwin’s digital portal, where residents can easily submit maintenance requests with the click of a few buttons. From there, Greenwin can access our in-house maintenance team and network of skilled contractors to resolve the request quickly and effectively.
A private Landlord will likely not have an in-house maintenance team or longstanding relationships with contractors, which could lead to delays in repairing any maintenance issues.
Streamlined Communication
Using our sophisticated digital platform, Greenwin residents can receive communications in their preferred method, whether that be through the online portal, SMS or email, ensuring an important message is never missed. Residents are also kept up-to-date on important news and contests with our seasonal resident newsletter, The Green Pages.
We also have a dedicated in-house Customer Service Team and a 24/7 emergency phone line, so every request, emergency, or question is addressed in a timely manner.
When it comes to getting in contact with an independent Landlord, the communication channels will depend on that individual. This could mean missed calls, no responses, and no around-the-clock assistance.
Security of Tenure
Did you know, in Ontario independent Landlords can give residents a notice to vacate (N12) if the Landlord, a purchaser, or family member requires the unit? That means your tenancy could be cut short. With a Property Management Company, like Greenwin, this type of notice does not apply. Once your application is approved, residents are able to rent their suite as long as they desire, with peace of mind that their home isn’t going anywhere.
#SuitePerks
Greenwin residents get access to exclusive deals and offers through our #SuiteDeals program. Enjoy discounts on everything from museum entry to dog walking, restaurants, and more! Whether it’s an ice cream truck, BBQ, or holiday hot cocoa and gift-wrapping event, we also love coming together with our residents to show our appreciation at exciting resident events. Plus, we host monthly #winwithgreenwin contests where residents can enter to take home exciting prizes.
With a private Landlord only managing minimal suites, there is little opportunity for them to host events or contests, making it harder for you to get to know your neighbours and your community.
