The Real Costs of a Bad Tenant:
Why Professional Screening is Essential
-$12,000
-$1,250
6-12 months
The financial impact of a bad tenant placement is significant. The average tenant eviction in Ontario costs homeowners approximately $12,000, with legal, court filing, and bailiff fees averaging $1,250. The eviction process itself can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months depending on the province. Found Spaces’ Acceler8 Tenant Audit is specifically designed to prevent these scenarios by screening for financially responsible, reliable tenants before they ever sign a lease.

How Found Spaces' Tenant Placement Works from Start to Finish
Finding the right tenant is the most important decision a landlord makes. A bad placement doesn't just mean a missed rent cheque. It can mean thousands in legal fees, months of lost income, and damage that takes years to recover from. Our leasing service is built to prevent that from the start.
Property inspection and market analysis
We inspect the unit, identify any maintenance items that could affect leasing timelines, and prepare a Comparative Market Analysis to set the right asking rent. Pricing matters. Properties priced accurately for their market typically lease within our 21-day placement target. Overpriced listings sit vacant longer regardless of how aggressively they're marketed, which is why we give landlords honest, data-backed pricing guidance before a single photo is taken.
Professional photography and listing syndication
Professional photography and video tours are produced for every listing. Each property is syndicated across 14+ rental platforms to reach qualified renters across Southern Ontario. Landlords receive weekly reports throughout the process so they always know where things stand.
Showings and applications
Showings are conducted by our leasing team with no limit on the number of viewings or applications processed. Every applicant is screened through our proprietary 9-step Acceler8 Tenant Audit (see below).
Tenant approval and move-in
Once a qualified tenant is approved, we handle lease preparation, tenant insurance, utility setup, first and last month's rent collection, key deposit, a detailed move-in inspection, and key delivery with a welcome package. Your only involvement is final approval of the selected tenant. See how our full process works.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Our Leasing Services
How long does it take Found Spaces to find a tenant?
Our standard commitment is to place a qualified tenant within 21 days of listing your property. This timeline depends on factors like property condition, pricing, and location, but our professional photography, video tours, and syndication across 14+ rental platforms ensure maximum exposure from day one. We provide weekly owner reports throughout the process so you always know where things stand.
What does the Acceler8 Tenant Screening process include?
The Acceler8 Tenant Audit is our proprietary 9-step screening system. Every applicant goes through a verified FICO credit score check, rental history review, employment verification, income confirmation, reference checks, and identity verification. We also review social media presence and conduct a comprehensive background assessment. The goal is to place tenants who are financially responsible, reliable, and likely to treat your property with care — not just the first person who applies.
What areas does Found Spaces provide leasing services in?
We provide professional leasing services across Southern Ontario, including Greater Hamilton, Hamilton Mountain, Burlington, Ancaster, Dundas, St. Catharines, Kitchener, Guelph, Cambridge, and Brantford. Our headquarters are in Hamilton at 472 Beach Road, and we have dedicated leasing coordinators covering each service area. If you own a residential rental property in any of these cities, we can help.
How much does Found Spaces' leasing service cost?
Our tenant placement fee is one month’s rent plus HST. This covers the entire leasing process from start to finish — property inspection, professional photography, listing syndication across 14+ platforms, unlimited showings, unlimited applications, full tenant screening through our Acceler8 Tenant Audit, lease preparation, collection of first and last month’s rent and key deposit, move-in inspection, and key delivery with a welcome package. There are no hidden fees.
What happens if my tenant breaks their lease early?
Found Spaces offers a 6-Month Tenant Guarantee. If your tenant vacates within the first six months of their lease, we will re-lease your property at no additional cost to you. This guarantee reflects our confidence in the Acceler8 Tenant Audit — we stand behind the quality of every tenant we place.
Do I need to be present for showings or handle any paperwork?
No. Found Spaces handles everything. We coordinate and conduct all showings, process all applications, prepare the lease agreement, arrange tenant insurance, set up utilities, collect all deposits, perform the move-in inspection, and deliver keys with a welcome package. You receive weekly reports and only need to be involved for final approval of the selected tenant.
What is the Acceler8 Tenant Audit and how is it different from a standard credit check?
A standard credit check only tells you whether someone pays their bills on time. The Acceler8 Tenant Audit is a 9-step process that goes much further — it includes verified FICO credit scoring, rental history from previous landlords, employment and income verification, personal references, and a comprehensive background review. This multi-layered approach identifies tenants who are not just creditworthy but who will be respectful, communicative, and committed to a long-term lease. It’s why our landlords experience fewer vacancies, fewer disputes, and more reliable rental income.
What makes Found Spaces different from other leasing and property management companies?
Found Spaces takes a fundamentally different approach to tenant placement. Beyond our 9-step Acceler8 Tenant Audit and 21 day placement commitment, we invest in long-term tenant quality through programs like Money Machine — a free 6-module financial literacy course available to tenants and first-time homebuyers available for all tenants, not just in Hamilton and St. Catharines. The course covers budgeting, credit building, saving strategies, and responsible financial planning, which means the tenants in your property are actively building better financial habits. We also offer a 6-Month Tenant Guarantee, syndicate every listing across 14+ rental platforms, and provide weekly owner reports throughout the leasing process. No other property management company in Southern Ontario combines this level of screening, tenant education, and accountability under one service.
