Rental Management

What rental management with Onehive covers

Renting out a home in BC is more than finding someone to move in. It's screening the right tenant, collecting rent on time, documenting the property's condition, fixing things when they break, and following the Residential Tenancy Act at every step. Miss one of those and it costs you, sometimes in money and sometimes in a dispute you didn't see coming.

We take the whole thing off your plate. You stay the owner and make the big calls. We handle the day-to-day so you're not chasing a late payment or trying to book a plumber on a Sunday night.

What you get

Screening comes first, because the right tenant prevents most problems. We run credit and reference checks, verify income and employment, and follow up with past landlords before anyone signs. You see the results and have the final say.

Once a tenant is in place, rent collection runs through the owner portal. Tenants pay online, reminders go out automatically, and if a payment is late you'll know quickly, along with what we're doing about it. Every dollar in and out shows up on a clear monthly statement, so you always know what's landing in your account. At year-end you get a summary that makes tax time simpler.

We document the property properly, too. Move-in and move-out inspections are done in person with photos and a signed condition report, then stored in your searchable document library. That record is what protects your deposit claims and settles disagreements before they become disputes.

How maintenance works

Things break, and tenants notice at the worst times. Our emergency intake runs 24/7, so a burst pipe or a failed furnace gets a real response, not a voicemail. Routine repairs go to trades we've worked with and trust.

Every request becomes a ticket you can follow from your portal, so you can see what was reported, who's handling it, and when it's done. Nothing disappears into an inbox.

Staying onside with the RTB

BC's tenancy rules are specific, and small mistakes carry real consequences. We keep your tenancies compliant with the Residential Tenancy Act: proper agreements, correct notices, deposits handled and returned on the right timelines, and documentation that holds up if a matter ever reaches the Residential Tenancy Branch.

Where a situation is genuinely tricky, we'll tell you plainly and point you to a lawyer rather than guess. The goal is to keep you out of trouble in the first place.

Why boutique is better here

Big firms manage rentals by volume. Your property becomes one file among thousands, and you talk to whoever picks up. We work differently on purpose. Because we only take on communities under 150 units, the person you reach actually knows your property, your tenant, and your history.

That focus shows up in the small things: faster answers, fewer handoffs, and decisions made by someone who remembers the details. Serving 16+ communities across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, we're big enough to have real systems and small enough to still care about your one door. Proposals are answered within one business day, so you're never left waiting to get started.
