1 What is a (private) manager?
A private property manager (gestionnaire immobilier) acts on behalf of a landlord-owner to manage their rental property end-to-end: finding the right tenant, drafting and registering the lease, collecting and indexing rent, organising maintenance and handling the day-to-day relationship with the tenant.
Not to be confused with the syndic: the syndic manages the common areas of a co-ownership on behalf of several owners, whereas private management concerns the property of a single owner — your apartment, your house or your rental building put up for let.
Key point: this brokerage and management activity is regulated too. Thibault de Volder is IPI-licensed 514 843, covered by professional liability insurance — you entrust your property to a regulated, insured professional.
