Question 1

What happens on day 22 if it isn't leased?

Accepted Answer

For green-lit units, your fee is automatically reduced by 21%. We keep working — same standards, same screening — until a qualified tenant signs. When that happens, the discounted fee is what's invoiced. There is no escalation, no late-listing surcharge, no walk-away charge. The 21-day clock is the only number that affects your invoice.

Question 2

Isn't a standard broker also unpaid until the unit leases?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and that is why the 21% reduction matters. The 21-day clock puts part of the FastLease fee at risk for missing the agreed date, not merely for failing to sign a tenant.

Question 3

What's the fee, exactly?

Accepted Answer

One month's rent + HST if a qualified tenant signs by day 21. For an eligible listing, the fee is reduced by 21% if no qualified tenant has signed by the end of day 21. It is payable on a signed lease; the advertised photography and tenant-placement services are included.

Question 4

Do you lease townhouses, semis and detached homes, or only condos?

Accepted Answer

All four. FastLease places tenants in Toronto condos, townhouses, semi-detached and detached homes on the same written terms: one month's rent + HST, reduced 21% for an eligible listing if no qualified tenant has signed by the end of day 21. What changes is the pricing and the paperwork. A house is priced against house comparables, never a condo average, and freehold leases settle utilities, lawn and snow care, and any separate basement unit in the listing and the Ontario Standard Lease before launch.

Question 5

How do you market the listing?

Accepted Answer

FastLease is a tenant-placement service operated through Property.ca Inc. Brokerage. Listings receive MLS, Property.ca, and Condos.ca exposure. Other distribution can vary by listing and should not be treated as a guaranteed platform list.

Question 6

What's your tenant screening process, exactly?

Accepted Answer

We review the complete credit profile, supporting financial information, employment or income information, available rental history, identity, and supporting documents. Information is verified where appropriate, then summarized for the landlord. No single score or rent multiple automatically decides the file.

Question 7

What makes a tenant qualified?

Accepted Answer

The agreement defines it in writing: ID verified, full-file credit reviewed holistically, income reasonably supporting the rent, employment or income verified, landlord references attempted, documents authenticated, and willingness to sign the Ontario Standard Lease at the listed price or higher. You see the screening summary before approving anyone.

Question 8

What if my unit is priced above market?

Accepted Answer

We give you a recommended range with the comparable-unit data behind it. If you choose to list more than 5% above that range, the 21-day guarantee is suspended for that listing — the rest of the engagement continues unchanged. Active building/legal disputes and material misrepresentation also remove the guarantee. We will tell you, in writing, before you sign.

Question 9

Do you handle showings for out-of-town owners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of our owners do not attend a single showing. We host, we filter, and the weekly report contains anything worth knowing — never a list of every email.

Question 10

What if I already have an agent?

Accepted Answer

Then keep them. We do not work around existing exclusive listing agreements, and we will say so plainly if you ask us to. If the agreement has expired or is non-exclusive, we are happy to talk.

Question 11

Can I review applications before you accept one?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every application is presented to you with the screening summary attached. We recommend; you decide. No tenant is signed without your explicit approval.

Question 12

Why not just list on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace myself?

Accepted Answer

You can. FastLease adds pricing guidance, professional marketing, MLS plus Property.ca and Condos.ca exposure, showing coordination, and documented application verification. If you can manage pricing, inquiries, showings, verification, negotiation, and lease documents yourself, self-listing may suit you.

Question 13

How quickly does Sasha respond after I submit a form?

Accepted Answer

Within one business day for estimate requests; usually the same day for call bookings. If you book a call through the calendar link, you'll get a calendar invitation immediately. FastLease is a focused practice, not a volume operation — you will not be handed to an assistant.

Question 14

What if I want to use my own lease agreement?

Accepted Answer

We use the Ontario Standard Lease (Form 2229E) with any approved addenda you want included. We do not accept entirely custom lease templates — the standard form protects both parties under the Residential Tenancies Act and is what every screened tenant expects. Addenda covering things like parking, storage, or seasonal access rules are fine.
