Property management in Scarborough.
Scarborough offers some of the most practical rental investments in Toronto: detached and semi-detached homes on good-sized lots, many with legal or potential secondary suites, near the University of Toronto Scarborough campus, Centennial College and growing transit.

The Scarborough rental market
The housing stock is largely post-war detached homes, semis and townhouses, with condo and rental towers around Scarborough Town Centre and Kennedy. Highland Creek and Morningside see strong student demand; Birch Cliff and the Bluffs neighbourhoods attract families. Basement suites and house-shares are common, which makes clear leases, utility terms and fire safety essential.
Apartment buildings & commercial property in Scarborough
Scarborough holds one of Toronto's largest stocks of privately owned rental towers, and almost all of it was built in the 1960s and 1970s along arterial roads rather than subway lines. Look along Kingston Road from Birch Cliff toward Galloway, Lawrence Avenue East through Scarborough Village and West Hill, Eglinton Avenue East near Kennedy and Markham Road toward Malvern. Mid-rise rentals cluster in Agincourt around Sheppard and Midland. These are big buildings with surface lots, original heating plants and tenants who rely on buses and GO trains. Commercial property is plaza country: strip centres on Sheppard, Finch, Steeles, Kennedy and Midland, with Agincourt and Milliken anchoring a large Asian retail market. Warehouses and offices line Progress and Milner Avenues near Scarborough Centre, heavier industry sits on Coronation Drive in West Hill, and the Golden Mile on Eglinton is turning from big-box retail into a mixed district on Line 5.
Local rules, handled
As part of Toronto, Scarborough follows the City's rules — including multi-tenant (rooming) house licensing, which matters for student-oriented properties rented by the room. We make sure your rental structure is the right one for the property and the by-law.
Across Ontario, the Residential Tenancies Act and the Ontario Standard Lease apply to most residential tenancies, and the rent increase guideline for units covered by rent control is 2.1% for 2026 and 1.9% for 2027. How the guideline works →

DetailsDo you manage student rentals near UTSC and Centennial?
Yes. We handle student tenancies with clear leases, guarantors where appropriate, and attention to Toronto's multi-tenant house rules when renting by the room.
Is Scarborough good for a house with a basement suite?
Often, yes — larger lots and housing types suit secondary suites. We can help assess, upgrade and then lease and manage both units.
What usually needs attention first in an older Scarborough rental tower?
Heat and hot water. Many towers still run original boilers, and Toronto requires at least 21°C in suites during the heating season, so one failure can affect hundreds of households. We start with a mechanical assessment, keep contractors on call and phase replacements outside the heating season. Elevators, garages and balconies usually come next in the capital plan.
Do you manage multi-tenant plazas in Scarborough?
Yes. Plazas on Sheppard, Finch, Kennedy and Midland often have a dozen or more tenants on leases of different ages, each with its own recovery formula. We bill and reconcile CAM, taxes and insurance strictly by each lease, contract snow and parking-lot work, and check zoning before a unit changes use to a clinic, school or restaurant.
