Tenants Screening Process                                                                                                           
 
After showing the property to a prospective tenant, the Tenant Application Forms wll be filled in. Once completed, the applications are screened, and with no exceptions, the references and given information are checked. The checked information include: rental references, employment record and income, credit record. The results are then presented to the owner for his/her final selection.

Signing the Tenancy Agreement
 
Once accepted, the prospective tenant signs the Residential Tenancy Agreement, a standard government form for rental residential properties in BC. In addition to the standard form, according to and in line with the Residential Tenancy Act, an addendum to the Rental Agreement may be created to include items specifically requested by the owner.

Inspections                                                                                                                                              
 
Condition of the rental property is inspected at the beginning and at the end of the tenancy (move-in/out inspection). A check list is created, signed and kept for record during the period of tenancy. In this period of regular occupancy we perform random inspections, as allowed by the Residential Tenancy Act, to monitor the state of the property and ensure no illegal activity is carried on.

Maintenance                                                                                                                     
 
We coordinate required repairs and renovations. We use third party contractors and charge owner at cost with no extra. We obtain quotations for owner's approval or we use owner's preferred contractor.

Rent Collections                                                                                                             
 
The rent is collected by means of post-dated cheques issued to "EcoWorldRealty" and deposited to our trust account on the first day of each month. Upon deduction of management service fee, utility bills, repair bills (if any), and any other rental related expenses, the net rental amount is transferred to the owner’s account.

Accounting                                                                                                                      
 
We provide all the reporting for tracking income and expenses for the property. A fully detailed cash flow statement is e-mailed to the owner each month.
