LYVE started out 30 years ago from humble beginnings as a family owned and operated investment company. Our properties were personal assets, and our current operations reflect that. To work with LYVE is to allow someone who has been in your shoes and gained years of valuable knowledge to help you navigate the intricate world of property management. LYVE treats their clients’ properties as if they were their own providing landlords with confidence in their investments and tenants with comfort in their homes.

LYVE markets each property with modern strategies designed to maximize exposure and attract high-quality tenants. Listings are advertised across the most current and effective platforms, ensuring broad and targeted visibility. Each property is showcased with updated, high-quality photography, and enhanced by virtual staging to highlight its full potential. Detailed floorplans, immersive walk-through videos, and thoughtfully presented visuals give prospective tenants a complete understanding of the space before they even step inside. This layered approach ensures every listing stands out, generates strong interest, and leases efficiently.

Prior to listing, LYVE will conduct a deep assessment of each unit. This includes but is not limited to identifying the current rent and square footage, researching comparables in the area, tracking the real estate market, considering unit updates, and implementing a budget that allows for expense recovery.

LYVE believes in tenant selection both on and off paper through a comprehensive multi-step process. Through pre-screening, in-person unit walk-throughs, and extensive background checks, we conduct our due diligence on every prospective tenant.

At LYVE, we do our best to ensure no tenant falls into arrears on rent. If a tenant does not submit rent on time, LYVE will issue an appropriate eviction order ensuring tenants understand the importance of submitting payment on time.

Our thorough tenant selection process and commendable tenant relationships usually assures us that tenants will not willfully or negligently damage units. Of course, accidents can happen, and this is why we require all tenants to show proof of tenant insurance upon move-in. In the rare case negligent damage occurs, we are also prepared to serve the appropriate Landlord Tenant Board (LTB) forms to recover the costs of damage. 

Rather than reactively tending to maintenance, LYVE approaches maintenance proactively. Through annual, monthly, and weekly maintenance schedules, LYVE ensures your property stays ahead of its upkeep and repairs avoiding unnecessary costs and labour.

There is a saying that “you never really know someone until you live with them (or see how they live)”. We find this to be true in respect to the character and habits of tenants. For this reason, conducting unit inspections allows us to keep eyes on the condition of each unit to ensure ongoing cleanliness and avoid preventable damage. 

Aside from financial strategizing in our day-to-day operations, and annual rent increases, LYVE can also assist with applying for above guideline increases on capital projects and presenting grants that pertain to your buildings when available.
