Lease the house on a deadline, not a hope.
A house lease carries more than a condo lease — utilities, lawn and snow care, parking, sometimes a separate unit — and a rent no condo comparable can set. FastLease prices it against houses, screens to a written standard, and puts its own fee behind day 21.
The page should sound like the conversation in your head.
You moved, bought again, or decided to rent the house instead of selling it.
A house is a bigger asset to hand over, and a bad tenancy in it costs more to unwind.
Will anyone price this as a house, not as a big condo?
The house is leased at a defensible rent, the tenant is verified, and utilities and upkeep are settled in writing.
A house can run on the same 21-day clock as a condo when it is priced against houses.
Most of the risk is decided before the first showing.
Condo comparables are plentiful; house comparables are thinner and change street by street. Price a house off the wrong set and it either sits or leases low.
A house is not a big condo.
Lot, parking, basement and street all move what renters will pay, and a condo-based estimate sees none of them. FastLease prices against leases of the same property type.
Utilities and upkeep are the new variables.
Who pays hydro, gas and water, who clears snow, who cuts the lawn — each belongs in the listing and the Ontario Standard Lease, not in a dispute after move-in.
The standard has to hold at a higher rent.
Credit, income, employment, prior-landlord references and documents are verified against the rent you are asking before you approve anyone.
The same 21-day system, calibrated for a house.
The clock, the screening standard and the fee are the same as for a condo. What changes is how the rent is set and which terms are settled before launch.
Price against houses
We price against comparable townhouse, semi or detached leases, never a condo average. Where FastLease has not logged enough same-type comps, Sasha sets the range with you on the kickoff call.
Settle the house terms first
Utilities, snow and lawn care, parking and any separate unit are written into the listing and the Ontario Standard Lease before launch.
Check the five layers
Credit, income, employment, prior-landlord references, and documents are reviewed before the tenant is recommended.
You see the case before signing
The application summary explains why the tenant clears the standard. You approve before execution.
Process you can inspect before you sign.
FastLease's published lease comps are condo leases so far; house comps are added only as real leases sign. What you can inspect today is how the work is done.
The tenant standard is public.
FastLease publishes the five screening layers before you engage, so the bar is visible before pressure builds.
A named broker is accountable.
Sasha Bastani runs the placement through Property.ca Inc. Brokerage, not a faceless lead desk.
Houses and condos are never blended.
Every FastLease comp page, estimate and neighbourhood average keeps property types apart, so a house is never priced off a condo number.
You do not give up the final decision.
The tenant is presented with the screening summary. You approve before the lease is signed.
One month's rent, payable on signed lease.
The same fee as a condo. Photography, pricing, showing coordination, screening, application review, and lease execution are included in the tenant-placement plan.
Day 21 is written down.
If no qualified tenant signs by day 21, the fee drops 21% — from one month's rent to 79% of one month. The guarantee is for a qualified tenant, not the first person willing to send a deposit.
Questions before the clock starts.
Is the 21-day guarantee the same for a house as for a condo?
Yes. The fee and the day-21 reduction are the same for condos, townhouses, semis and detached homes, under the same written eligibility conditions for a green-lit listing.
Who pays utilities in a house lease?
Whoever the lease says. The Ontario Standard Lease has a section for services and utilities; we agree the split with you before the listing goes live so every applicant sees the same terms.
What if the house has a separate basement unit?
Tell us on the call. Whether it leases as one unit or two depends on how the property is legally set up, and that is decided before launch, not after.
Do I still choose the tenant?
Yes. FastLease filters and verifies applications, then presents the screening summary. You approve the tenant before the lease is executed.
Put the house on a 21-day clock.
Your first plan returns launch timing, the screening path, the house terms to settle, and the rent range — from same-type comps, or set with Sasha on the call.
