Questions and Answers
Common Questions
For Property Owners
How much does property management cost?
Full management is 10% of the monthly rent. Tenant placement only, for a residential rental, is 50% of the first month's rent. You pay nothing unless a tenant is placed or we are actively managing your rented home.
How long does it take to find a tenant?
It depends on the season, the type of home and the asking rent. Rentals can take some time in the South Okanagan market, so we'll give you a realistic estimate for your property during your free rental review.
Do you manage vacation or short-term rentals?
No. We only manage rentals of more than one month, and only where the strata rules and any local bylaws allow it.
Are you licensed for property management?
Yes. RE/MAX Wine Capital Realty is licensed by the BC Financial Services Authority for every real estate trading service, including rental property management, real estate sales and strata management.
How much deposit can I collect?
Under BC's Residential Tenancy Act, up to half a month's rent as a security deposit, plus up to half a month's rent as a pet deposit if you allow pets.
Do I have to allow pets?
No. You can choose a no-pets rental. Guide and service dogs are not pets under the law and must be allowed.
How often is the property inspected?
We do a full move-in and move-out inspection with photos, and regular walk-throughs during the tenancy with your permission.
What happens with an after-hours emergency?
Tenants have an emergency number. We send the right trade, then let you know what happened and what it cost.
Can you manage a property on acreage or an orchard?
Yes, for the home on it. Tell us about the property and we'll talk through what makes sense.
Which towns do you manage rentals in?
Oliver, Osoyoos, Okanagan Falls, Kaleden, Penticton, Summerland, Keremeos, Cawston and Rock Creek in the South Okanagan of British Columbia. Our main office is at 444 School Avenue in Oliver, and our sister office is at 607 7th Avenue (Main Street) in Keremeos.
Do you offer tenant placement only, or full management?
Both. We can find and screen a tenant for you and set up the lease, or look after the rental from start to finish. One message to Mathew Lewis, Broker, through the contact form covers either.
Where do the rent and deposits go?
Deposits and monthly rent are paid directly to you, the owner.
For Renters
How do I apply to rent a home?
Apply online on this website. It takes about 10 minutes and there is no application fee. Applying does not create a tenancy.
What happens after I apply?
We check your rental history and references, and may ask you to show you can pay the rent. A credit check is only done with your separate, written consent.
How much is the security deposit?
At most half of one month's rent, as set by BC's Residential Tenancy Act. If the home allows pets, there can also be a pet deposit of up to half a month's rent.
Are pets allowed?
It depends on the home. Each listing says whether pets are considered. Guide and service dogs are always allowed.
Do you have seasonal or winter rentals?
Sometimes. Seasonal and winter rentals are listed when available. Tell us your dates through the renter form and we'll contact you if one fits.
How do I report a repair?
Send a repair request through the renter form on this website. For a flood, fire or no heat in winter, use the emergency number you were given when you moved in.
