Ontario-first
Ontario Property Management Software for Property Managers
The Ontario Standard Lease, Landlord and Tenant Board forms, rent increase rules and rent tracking handled inside one platform — built in Ontario, for Ontario portfolios.
Ontario property management runs on specific documents and specific deadlines. The Standard Lease, the N1 rent increase notice, the guideline, the N4 and N12 processes, the 90-day clock — none of that is optional, and none of it is native to a U.S. platform. Propvera was built in Ontario for the firms that live with these rules daily: rent tracking, lease records, maintenance, tenant communication and owner reporting, with the provincial paperwork generated from the data you already keep.
Summary
- Propvera is Ontario-built property management software designed for Ontario property management companies and realtor-led management services.
- Ontario-specific support includes the Ontario Standard Lease, N1 rent increase notices, and other Landlord and Tenant Board related forms filled from account data.
- Rent increase workflows account for Ontario rules, including recording historical increases as a baseline when migrating records.
- Fixed-term leases convert to month-to-month at expiry, matching Ontario practice, and occupancy is derived from current leases.
- Also included: AI lease upload, rent ledger, maintenance tracking, tenant portal, document vault, applications and owner statements.

What Propvera helps with
Ontario Standard Lease
Lease records aligned to the Ontario Standard Lease, with PDF form filling from your tenant and unit data.
LTB-related forms
Ontario notices including N1, N4 and N12 prepared from existing records and saved to the document vault.
Rent increases the Ontario way
Track eligibility, keep dated increase history, generate the N1, and record historical increases as a baseline.
AI lease upload
Upload an existing lease PDF and have tenant, unit, rent, term and deposit details read and matched for review.
Rent tracking and arrears
Per-unit ledgers with paid, unpaid, partial and balance visibility across the whole portfolio.
Tenant portal and maintenance
Residents see their own information and submit maintenance requests; your team tracks status and notes.
Owner reporting
Monthly statements per property with income, expenses and net position for each owner.
Document vault
Leases, notices, inspections and invoices stored per property, unit and tenant with visibility control.
Why Ontario needs Ontario-specific tools
Ontario tenancies are governed by the Residential Tenancies Act, administered through the Landlord and Tenant Board, and documented on prescribed forms. A platform that does not model those forms cannot help you prepare them, cannot warn you about a deadline and cannot keep the served copy with the tenancy record.
- The Standard Lease is mandatory for most Ontario residential tenancies
- Rent increases require the prescribed notice and correct timing
- Fixed-term leases continue month-to-month rather than simply ending
- Board processes depend on documentation you can actually produce later
Where generic platforms leave gaps
U.S.-first platforms handle rent and maintenance competently. The gaps show up around the provincial layer: U.S. lease templates, no notice modelling, U.S. payment rails, and USD invoices. Firms usually bridge those gaps with Word documents, a shared drive and a diary reminder — which is exactly the fragile part of the operation.
Built for how Ontario firms actually run
Most Ontario management companies are lean. The platform is designed for that: fast onboarding of an existing portfolio, reminders that surface renewals and rent increase eligibility, tenant self-service for routine questions, and owner statements that do not require a bookkeeping session to produce.
Migration is handled with you
Bring a rent roll spreadsheet and it is imported with a preview and correction step, so a bad column mapping never silently creates junk records. Bring lease PDFs and the details are extracted and matched to units for your confirmation. The team helps plan the sequence before anything goes live.
Ontario workflows: Propvera vs generic U.S.-first platforms

Frequently asked questions
What property management software supports the Ontario Standard Lease?
Propvera supports the Ontario Standard Lease directly: lease records follow its structure and the PDF can be filled from the tenant, unit and rent details already in your account.
Can Propvera generate Ontario LTB forms?
Yes. Ontario forms including the N1 rent increase notice are prepared from existing records and saved to the document vault against the right unit and tenant.
How does Propvera handle Ontario rent increases?
It tracks when a unit becomes eligible based on the last increase, keeps a dated history, generates the N1 notice, and lets you record a past increase as a historical baseline when moving records in without changing current rent.
What happens when a fixed-term Ontario lease expires?
The tenancy continues on a month-to-month basis, which is how Ontario works. Propvera models that instead of treating expiry as the end of the tenancy, so occupancy and rent tracking stay correct.
Do tenants get their own access?
Yes. The resident portal gives tenants a read-focused view of their own tenancy information and lets them submit maintenance requests, which cuts down routine phone calls to your office.
Is Propvera suitable for a realtor-led management service?
Yes. It is a common use case — brokerages managing rentals for investor clients use it for lease records, rent tracking and monthly owner reporting without adding administrative staff.
How quickly can an Ontario portfolio be onboarded?
Small portfolios go live the same day. Larger ones are typically imported from a rent roll spreadsheet or lease PDFs with a review step, and the team helps plan the sequence.
Does Propvera replace legal advice?
No. It helps you keep correct records and prepare the right forms, but it is software, not a licensed paralegal or lawyer. Complex Board matters still need professional advice.
