No hidden fees. One flat percentage, all in. **How do you screen tenants?** We run full credit checks, criminal background checks, employment verification, income verification (2.5–3x monthly rent minimum), and we call previous landlords directly. We document everything and keep records for your protection. **What happens if a tenant doesn't pay rent?** We follow up on day 1. If the issue isn't resolved quickly, we serve the proper N4 notice, file with the Landlord and Tenant Board, and guide you through the process. We stay with you from first missed payment to resolution. **Can I still be involved in decisions about my property?** Yes. We handle the daily management so you don't have to, but you're always consulted on larger maintenance decisions, rent increases, tenant applications, and lease changes. It's still your property. **What areas do you serve?** We currently manage properties in London, St. Thomas, and Strathroy, Ontario. If your property is in a nearby area, reach out and we can discuss. **How quickly can you find a tenant?** Typically 2–4 weeks for a well-priced property. We'll give you an honest rental estimate and timeline before we start. We don't rush placements. Quality over speed. **Do you mark up maintenance costs?** No. We coordinate with our trusted contractor network and you pay the contractor's invoice directly, no management markup. We earn only our management fee. **How do I see what's happening with my property?** We send monthly financial statements detailing all rent received, any maintenance costs, and your net income. You can also reach us directly any time. You're talking to the owner of Prospera, not a call centre. **What if I want to sell or move back into the property?** We make the transition easy. We'll help you time the notice correctly under Ontario law (N12 or N13 as applicable) and ensure everything is handled legally. ### For Tenants **How do I apply for a rental?** Browse our available listings at https://www.prosperaproperties.co/listings. Each property has an Apply Now option. Applications are reviewed within 1–2 business days. **What does the application process involve?** We'll ask for proof of income (pay stubs or employment letter), references from previous landlords, consent to a credit check, and photo ID. **What are my rights as a tenant in Ontario?** Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act gives tenants strong protections, including the right to a unit that meets health and safety standards, proper notice before any rent increase, and protection from illegal entry. **What notice do I need to give before moving out?** Under Ontario law, the standard notice period is 60 days, ending on the last day of a rental period. **Can my rent be increased?** For units built before November 15, 2018, rent increases are limited to the Ontario guideline (2.5% in 2026). We always provide proper N1 notice at least 90 days in advance. ### General **Who is Prospera Properties?** Prospera Properties is a property management company founded by Ebin Jaison, serving landlords and tenants in London, St. Thomas, and Strathroy, Ontario. You always deal directly with Ebin. **What makes you different from other property managers?** At Prospera, Ebin manages relationships personally. We're transparent about fees, we don't mark up maintenance, and we treat tenants with respect. That results in better long-term tenants for landlords. **Do you work with single-unit landlords or only larger portfolios?** Both. We work with landlords who own a single basement apartment and with those who own multiple properties. Our approach is straightforward and personal either way. --- ## Main Pages - [Home](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/): Property management company in London, Ontario - [For Landlords](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/landlords): Services, process, and how Prospera manages your rental property - [For Tenants](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/tenants): Available rentals and tenant resources - [Available Listings](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/listings): Current rental listings in London, St. Thomas, and Strathroy - [Free Rent Analysis](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/rent-analysis): Free rental rate estimate for London area properties - [Blog — Ontario Landlord Tips](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/blog): 108 guides on Ontario landlord law, property management, and the RTA - [About Ebin Jaison](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/about): Founder background and company story - [Contact](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/contact): Get in touch or request a free quote - [Pricing](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/pricing): Property management fees and service packages - [FAQ](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/faq): Common questions from landlords and tenants ### Area Pages - [London, Ontario Property Management](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/areas/london) - [St. Thomas, Ontario Property Management](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/areas/st-thomas) - [Strathroy, Ontario Property Management](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/areas/strathroy) ### Service Pages - [Student Rental Management London Ontario](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/services/student-rental-management) - [Tenant Placement Ontario](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/services/tenant-placement) - [Rent Collection Ontario](https://www.prosperaproperties.co/services/rent-collection) --- ## Blog — Ontario Landlord Law & Property Management Guides 108 published guides.
