For Owners of Residential Rental Properties
Finding ideal tenants on your own takes time and energy you may not have to spare. It’s also full of small details and big decisions you want to get right, like setting the best rental rate, advertising effectively, and screening applicants against the right criteria.
With VADA on your side, skip the stress, knowing every step is covered. We offer you the best tenant placement service in Richmond, with expertise that professionally fills your vacancy without doing the work yourself.
VADA is the team to rely on for a smooth and successful tenant placement experience. Since 2006, our tenant placement services have placed 25,000+ tenants throughout Metro Vancouver and Richmond in homes ranging from single-family dwellings to multiple apartments in rental buildings.
Securing Quality Tenants To Maximize Your Investment
Minimal vacancy is key to staying on top of your investment. Whether you own a 1-bedroom rental apartment in Brighouse, a 2-bedroom condo rental in Bridgeport, or a townhouse rental in Riverdale, we’re here to quickly move from vacant to occupied so you don’t miss out on income.
That said, we balance urgency with careful consideration of your overall property goals. On top of good credit and income for financial peace of mind, we also look at which prospects are most likely to: respect your property and minimize wear-and-tear costs, and live with a neighbourly attitude that surrounding residents will appreciate. We value tenants who will be good neighbours to other residents. Efficient occupancy with the best match: that’s our approach.
For nearly 20 years, our tenant placement services in Metro Vancouver have placed 25,000+ tenants in homes from condos to detached family homes. We also offer tenant placement services for buildings we manage, and have experience in lease-up rentals for purpose-built rental projects.
We find tenants for all types of homes:
- Condos & Apartments
- Townhouses
- Duplexes
- Basement Suites
- Garden Suites
- Houses
- Laneway & Coach Houses
- Live / Work Lofts
- Penthouses

FAQs
-
How much does VADA charge for tenant placement services?

-
How does VADA determine rental rates?
We use our fresh market knowledge and extensive experience to determine rental rates for our clients. Whether you want to rent your 1-bedroom apartment in West Cambie or your 2-bedroom condo in McLennan North, we know what homes are renting for in every Richmond neighbourhood. We also take into consideration your property’s condition, if it’s new, old, or renovated, its size, and the type of home.
-
How long will it take to place a qualified tenant in my rental property?
There’s no single answer since every rental property is unique. The time it takes depends on factors like the current rental market, pricing, location, and competition. A competitively priced property with desirable features and little competition may rent within one or two weeks. A listing in a brand-new building in a convenient neighbourhood and with many competing rentals may take longer.
-
Do you stage unfurnished homes for showings?
Our tenant placement services in Richmond welcome both unfurnished and furnished rentals. It’s your choice how you want to present your home in the listing. However, we can advise you on best practices for optimizing your showings.
