How much does the OLH Rent Guarantee cost?

A flat $1,250 per year per property for rents up to $3,000 per month. That buys 12 months of protection with up to 3 months of rent coverage, N4 and L1 preparation and service, tenant prequalification, Equifax credit reporting, and licensed paralegal enforcement. Rents above $3,000/month receive a custom quote.

What happens when a tenant stops paying rent?

OLH issues the N4 notice immediately and files the L1 application with the Landlord and Tenant Board as soon as the notice period expires. While enforcement runs, your covered rent is protected. All legal enforcement is handled by licensed paralegals in compliance with Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act, and only a Sheriff can enforce an eviction order.

Is the tenant told about the Rent Guarantee?

Yes. Tenants receive a welcome package explaining that the property is enrolled in a Rent Guarantee Program managed by licensed paralegals through LandlordEzy, that rent may be reported to Equifax monthly, and that unpaid rent triggers immediate legal action and may result in credit judgments.

Does rent reporting to Equifax really change tenant behaviour?

Yes. On-time payments can help tenants build credit, while late or missed payments can hurt it. When tenants know payment behaviour is recorded, payment compliance improves dramatically — accountability is built into the program.

Q: How many months of rent are covered?

Q: Who is eligible for the Rent Guarantee?

The Rent Guarantee is available to landlords on any OLH management plan, for OLH-managed properties with tenants screened and approved through OLH and LandlordEzy. Tenant prequalification, documentation, and compliance requirements apply.

Tenant Notification (Welcome Package)

Tenants are informed that the landlord is enrolled in a Rent Guarantee Program — meaning OLH manages the property with licensed paralegals and LandlordEzy. If rent goes unpaid, OLH may cover rent on behalf of the landlord, begin the eviction process immediately, and use all legal means to collect. OLH may seek judgments and share outcomes with landlord networks where permitted.

Equifax Rent Reporting

Rent payments may be reported to Equifax each month
On-time payments can help improve a tenant's credit
Late payments can negatively impact a tenant's credit
Judgments for unpaid rent may be uploaded to Equifax as credit judgments, affecting future renting and borrowing ability

All legal enforcement handled by licensed paralegals in compliance with Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act (RTA).
