Expert Support for Every Lease — From Listing to Move-In

Finding the right home or the right tenant takes time and experience. At Kirby Chan Real Estate, we make the leasing process simple, transparent and professional for both renters and landlords across Ontario, including Richmond Hill, Markham and Toronto.

For tenants, we help you find and secure rental homes that fit your needs, lifestyle and budget. For landlords, we manage listing, marketing, tenant screening, lease agreements and ongoing rental guidance to ensure your property is leased to qualified and reliable tenants.

Whether you are leasing a condo, townhouse or detached home, we manage every detail with care, from preparing listings and coordinating showings to finalising legal documents and move-in arrangements.

Our goal is to remove stress from the leasing process while creating secure, fair and successful outcomes for both sides of the transaction.

Our Residential Leasing Process

Step 1: Consultation and Property Search

We begin by identifying your needs including preferred location, budget, lease term and property type so we can match you with suitable options.

Step 2: Property Marketing and Showings

For landlords, we market your property using professional photography and targeted exposure. For renters, we arrange viewings and provide honest insight on available listings.

Step 3: Tenant Screening and Application

All applicants complete background, credit and reference checks to support a secure and reliable leasing experience.

Step 4: Lease Preparation and Review

We prepare or review lease agreements to ensure compliance with Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act and confirm clear and fair terms for both parties.

Step 5: Deposit and Move-In Coordination

Once approved, we coordinate deposit transfers, inspection checklists and key exchanges to ensure a smooth and organised move-in.

Step 6: Ongoing Support

Our team remains available for post-lease questions, renewals or next-move support as your circumstances change.
