Frequently asked questions about Port Moody property management

What's the difference between strata management and property management?

While the terms are often used interchangeably, they refer to distinct services. Strata and rental property management focuses on managing communities governed by a strata council under the BC Strata Property Act. This includes managing common property, enforcing bylaws, and handling reserve funds. General property management is a broader term that often refers to the management of rental properties on behalf of an owner, focusing on tenant relations, rent collection, and marketing. FirstService Residential offers expertise in both.
 

What is the difference between rental management and property management in BC?

In British Columbia, rental management and property management are governed by different legislation and serve different primary clients. Rental management operates under the Residential Tenancy Act and focuses on the relationship between a landlord (property owner) and their tenant. Its main goals are to secure tenants, collect rent, and maintain the individual rental unit. Property management operates under the Strata Property Act and serves the strata corporation (made up of all owners). Its focus is on managing the common property, finances, and governance of the entire building or complex.
 

What is the average property management fee in Port Moody?

The average property management fee in Port Moody can vary based on the building's age, size, complexity, and the level of service required. Generally, fees can range from approximately $30 to $50 per unit per month. Buildings with more extensive amenities, a larger number of units, or those requiring more intensive management may see fees at the higher end of this range.
