One crew that knows every unit
Most repair bills on a rental start small and get expensive because nobody was looking. A blocked eavestrough becomes a wet basement. A failing seal becomes a window. A slow leak becomes a ceiling.
HomeCare for Landlords puts the same crew through every one of your doors twice a year, on a checklist, with a written record for each property. You get fewer emergency calls, faster turnovers and something to hand your insurer when they ask what maintenance was done.
For a single home you live in, see the HomeCare plans for homeowners.
Two checks a year, per door
Spring and fall at every door. We test the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and fit fresh batteries, change the furnace filter, open or drain the outdoor tap for the season, test the sump pump, clear the eavestroughs, check weather seals, and touch up caulking. You get a written report with photos for each door. We bring up to $30 of those consumables per door a visit.
Repairs within two business days
When a visit turns something up, or a tenant calls, you are at the front of the queue. You also get a preferred rate on any other work, for as long as the plan is active.
A record for every property
Each door gets its own maintenance log, work records and photos, rolled into one portfolio report. Useful at turnover, at renewal, at an insurance claim, and on the day you sell.

$35 per door a month, plus HST. Five doors minimum.

What happens at each visit
Spring. We test every smoke and carbon monoxide alarm and fit fresh batteries, change the furnace filter, turn the outdoor tap on and check it, test the sump pump, clear the eavestroughs, check windows and screens, and touch up caulking. You get a written report with photos. Fall. We test the alarms again and fit fresh batteries, change the furnace filter, shut off and drain the outdoor tap, clear the eavestroughs before the freeze, check door and window weather seals, and send the same written report. Anything we find that is beyond the checklist gets quoted before we touch it. You decide what gets done.
Why the record is the point
Every door gets its own file: the checklist and photos from each visit, every invoice with the scope of work and materials used, product warranties, and a one-page summary each year.
That file earns its keep four times over.
- At turnover. You know what was done and when, so you are arguing about damage rather than guessing about it.
- At renewal. Tenants stay longer in buildings where things get fixed.
- At a claim. Insurers ask what maintenance was done. Most landlords cannot answer. You can.
- At a sale. The record belongs to the property and goes with it.
Questions landlords ask
One self-contained unit. A duplex is two doors, a triplex is three. Common areas in a small building are covered as part of the property rather than as a separate door.
The plan starts at five. Below that, the homeowner plans usually work out better per property, or we can quote you a schedule of visits directly.
Yes, if you want us to. We book the visit with the tenant, turn up when we said we would, and report back to you. You stay the only person who approves work and pays for it.
We are not an emergency service, and we will not pretend otherwise. What the plan does is cut the number of emergencies by finding things early, and put you at the front of the queue when something does need doing.
Yes, per property, as an add-on. It is worth doing on an older building or one you have just bought, and the report goes straight into that property’s record.
The terms, in plain words
- Length. 12 months from the day you sign up.
- Payment. Monthly by pre-authorized payment, or annually up front.
- Cancelling later. Monthly plans stop with 30 days’ notice. Visits that go unused are not refunded.
- Adding or removing doors. Tell us and we adjust from the next billing month, as long as you stay at five or more.
- Renewal. Renews automatically at the price current at that time, with written notice six weeks before.
- Price changes. Only at renewal, with at least 60 days’ notice.
- Selling a property. The record belongs to that property and goes with it.
What the plan does not cover
- Repairs beyond the visit checklist. We quote these before we start and only do them once you say yes.
- Specialist and licensed-trade work such as roof replacement, electrical and plumbing beyond visual checks, and HVAC servicing inside the equipment. We arrange these through licensed partners and quote them separately.
- Emergency call-outs. The HandyForce is not an emergency service.
- Pest control, mould remediation and hazardous materials.
- Tenant damage, which we are happy to quote for separately.
