What I check before you buy

Zoning and whether every unit is legal and permitted; fire and building code items for multi-unit homes; the actual rent roll, lease terms and tenant situation; condition of roof, HVAC, electrical and plumbing; and parking and municipal rules for the street.

Running the numbers

We look at realistic rents by bedroom, vacancy and turnover tied to the academic year, property tax, insurance, utilities, maintenance and management costs. That way you see true cash flow, not the best-case version.

Ontario rules to know

Tenancies are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act. Units first occupied after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the annual rent-increase guideline. Ontario now permits up to three residential units on many serviced residential lots, subject to local rules. Always confirm specifics with the City of Kingston and a lawyer.

Frequently asked

Is Kingston a good place for student rental investing?

Kingston has strong student demand from Queen’s University and St. Lawrence College. Results depend on the property, location, legal status and management, so we run the numbers on every deal.

What should I check on an existing student rental?

Legal unit status and permits, fire and building code compliance, the rent roll and leases, the condition of major systems, and any municipal rules that apply to the street.

Are student rentals rent controlled in Ontario?

Most residential tenancies follow the Residential Tenancies Act. Units first occupied after November 15, 2018 are generally exempt from the yearly rent-increase guideline. Confirm details for any property with a lawyer.
