For SIREG & Simple Investor Condo Owners
If You Own a SIREG Unit, You Don’t Have to Figure This Out Alone.
We know the last couple of weeks have been stressful and uncertain. Many of the owners we’ve spoken with have no lease, no keys, and no idea who their tenant is or what they pay — and some are worried about their mortgage. That’s okay. You’re not the only one, and none of it is your fault. We’ll answer your questions honestly, walk you through it one step at a time, and help you get your unit back in your hands.
For SIREG owners we’ve lowered our rate to $149/mo for your first unit and $69/mo for each additional unit, with no long-term contract. See the details

What’s Happening
Up to 1,800 Condo Units. Rent Payments to Owners “No Longer Guaranteed.”
SIREG Management (Simple Investor Real Estate Group) manages condo units owned by individual investors in about 21 buildings across Ontario — including Sarnia, Kitchener, Waterloo, Hamilton, Listowel, Welland, North Bay, Woodstock, Windsor and Kipps Lane in London.
In mid-September, SIREG told its investor-owners it is experiencing market and liquidity challenges affecting its ability to make timely rental payments, and that it could not say when payments would resume. Owners who expected their payment on the usual date say it never arrived.
The model was sold as “hands off” — so most owners have never met their tenant, don’t hold a copy of the lease, don’t have keys, and have never seen what the tenant actually pays.

⚠️
Why you need to move this week
- Tenants are already paying October rent — we’re seeing it come in early on units we manage.
- Whoever the tenant pays on the 1st is who holds that money. Rent that goes to SIREG may not reach you on time — or at all.
- If your mortgage depends on that rent, one missed month hurts.
- A tenant won’t redirect rent on a phone call. They need written notice from the registered owner, with proof.
🔴 Live Updates
What’s New for SIREG Owners
We post here as things happen. Bookmark this page — and sign up for the Zoom to get urgent updates by email or text.
Investor Group pricing is open to every SIREG owner
We have opened a dedicated package for SIREG / Simple Investor owners: $149/mo for your first unit, $69/mo for each additional unit, no 12-month term, and 60 days’ written notice to leave. You do not need to know any other owner or belong to any group — fill in the form and you are in.
Tenants are already paying October rent
We are already seeing tenants pay October rent early. Whoever the tenant pays on October 1 is who holds that money. If you want your October rent, your tenant needs written instructions from you before the 1st.
SIREG’s written update to owners is due today
According to CBC News, SIREG told owners it would send a written update by Wednesday, September 23. When you receive it, forward it to us — we will read it with you and tell you what it means for your units.
Sound Familiar?
“I Own the Unit — But I Have Nothing.”
This is what SIREG owners tell us on almost every call. None of it stops us from taking over.
📜
“Am I even on title?”
We pull the land registry record for your unit and confirm the registered owners — often while you’re still on the phone with us. That record is what gives the tenant confidence to pay you.
📄
“I’ve never seen a lease.”
The tenant has one. We collect a copy directly from them, plus their names, ID and contact details, and rebuild your tenancy file from scratch.
💵
“I don’t know what they pay.”
We ask the tenant to show proof of their last rent payment — before we name a number. That way you learn the real rent, not the figure on your SIREG statement.
🔑
“I don’t have keys.”
We ask the tenant for a copy. If one can’t be provided, we arrange a lock change and issue the tenant a new key — done properly, with notice.
🤝
“I signed an agreement with SIREG.”
Our licensed paralegal reads your SIREG agreement with you and explains your options before anything goes to the tenant. General information only — your file, your decision.
📍
“I don’t live anywhere near it.”
You don’t need to. We manage across Ontario with feet on the ground, and you see everything — ledger, receipts, inspection video — in your own owner portal.

The Action Plan
How We Take Over Your SIREG Unit
Our first priority is getting written instructions to your tenant before rent day, so October’s rent comes to you — not to the previous manager.
- Today
Confirm you own it
We confirm the registered owners from the land registry and review whatever you have — SIREG statements, your agreement, any notices SIREG has sent. No paperwork? That’s fine; we start from the address and unit number.
- Today
Sign a short interim agreement
Investor Group terms: no 12-month commitment, 60 days’ written notice to end. Signed online in minutes.
- Before rent day
Transition notice & welcome package to your tenant
Introduces OLH as the new property manager, confirms SIREG no longer manages the unit for you, refers to the public reporting on SIREG so the tenant understands why, and includes proof of your ownership and our authority to act. It tells them exactly where to pay rent from now on — plus their own tenant portal login.
- Before rent day
A real person at the door
Where we can, a property manager delivers it in person. Tenants need a human conversation, not just a letter: who we are, how to reach us, and a chance to tell us about anything wrong with the unit.
- First visit
Verify the true rent
We ask the tenant to show proof of their last payment — e-transfer, cheque or receipt — before we name a figure. Your SIREG statement shows what SIREG paid you, not necessarily what the tenant pays.
- First visit
Keys, lease & tenant records
Copy of the lease, tenant names, ID and contact details, and a key. If a key can’t be provided, we arrange a lock change and give the tenant a new key.
- First weeks
Inspection with full video
A walkthrough of the unit with a written report and full video, so you finally see what you own. Units in the same building are inspected together, which keeps the cost down.
- Ongoing
Your file, rebuilt — and rent to you
Your owner portal shows the lease, rent ledger, receipts and proof of every payment. Rent is collected, our fee deducted, and the balance sent to you with a clean monthly statement. Anything legal is handled in-house by our licensed paralegals.
Investor Group Pricing
A Package Built Only for SIREG Owners
Our Property Management + Legal Guarantee package, at a lower price, with the long-term commitment removed. Every SIREG / Simple Investor owner qualifies — you don’t need to know any other owner or belong to any group. Fill in the form and you’re in.

SIREG Owners — Frequently Asked Questions
Who qualifies for the Investor Group pricing?
Any owner of a unit that SIREG Management / Simple Investor managed. You don’t need to know other owners or be part of a Facebook group or a coalition — most owners have never met each other. Fill in the form and the pricing applies to every unit you bring.
How do I stop October’s rent going to SIREG?
Your tenant needs written instructions from you, the registered owner, telling them who manages the unit now and where rent is paid — ideally delivered in person, with proof of ownership. That is step 3 of our action plan, and it’s why we want it done before the 1st.
Am I allowed to leave SIREG? I signed an agreement.
It depends on your agreement and what SIREG does next. Our licensed paralegal will read your agreement with you and explain your options before anything is sent to the tenant. This page is general information, not legal advice about your specific contract. Our own agreement has no 12-month term and ends on 60 days’ written notice, so you are never locked in with us either.
What if I’m not sure I’m actually the owner?
We check. We pull the land registry record for your unit, which shows the registered owners and purchase details, and send you a copy. If you invested in a SIREG joint-venture or pooled offering and do not hold title to a specific unit, we can’t manage a unit on your behalf — but we’ll tell you honestly what we see.
What if the tenant won’t give us a key or the lease?
Most tenants cooperate once they meet a real person and see proof of ownership — they want to know their rent is going to the right place too. If a key can’t be provided, we arrange a lock change and give the tenant a new key. If a tenant refuses to cooperate or stops paying, our paralegals handle it under the Legal Guarantee.
How do you find out the real rent?
We ask the tenant to show proof of their most recent rent payment before we mention any amount. Your SIREG statement shows what SIREG paid you; many owners have never seen what the tenant pays. We record the verified amount in your ledger.
Do you deal with the condo corporation or condo fees?
No. We manage your unit and your tenancy; we don’t manage condo corporations or sit on condo boards. You continue paying condo fees, property tax and insurance as the owner. We’ll pass along anything the tenant tells us about the building.
Will you do repairs without asking me?
No work is done without your approval — we get quotes and you decide. The one exception is optional: you can pre-approve a small emergency amount so we can stop, say, a middle-of-the-night water leak if we can’t reach you.
My units are in North Bay / Sarnia / Listowel — do you cover it?
How and when do I get paid?
Rent is collected through our system, matched to your ledger with proof of each payment, our fee is deducted, and the balance is sent to you — typically within the first few business days of the month — with a monthly statement in your owner portal.
