For Owners of Residential Rental Properties
Your rental is vacant. The search for new tenants begins. And whether you’re a new or seasoned landlord, handling the process yourself can be less than appealing. Advertising, screening applications, hosting showings, checking references and income — it all takes attention and decision-making you just don’t have time for.
Skip the stress by partnering with VADA, your best tenant placement services in Surrey. Our comprehensive lease solutions handle every step for you so you can confidently fill your vacancy without doing all the work.
As a trusted Metro Vancouver property management company for almost 20 years, you can lean on our expertise for successful tenant placement services in Surrey. We’ve placed 25,000+ tenants in all types of homes, from individually-owned basement suites to apartments in purpose-built rental buildings to entire detached residences.
Balancing Urgency With Careful Selection For Maximum Returns
A short vacancy is key to getting the most out of your investment. You don’t want to miss out on rental income for too long, whether you own a 1-bedroom rental apartment in Whalley, a townhouse rental in South Surrey, or a basement suite rental in Guildford.
Knowing this, our tenant placement services in Surrey work hard to secure tenants quickly. That said, we balance urgency with consideration for which candidate gives you the most overall peace of mind. We look at the whole picture, including: good credit and income for your month-to-month financial certainty, care for your property that will minimize wear-and-tear costs and uphold property value, and a neighbourly lifestyle that surrounding residents will appreciate. Our tenant search process blends speed with satisfying your property needs.
Since 2006, VADA has placed qualified tenants in 4000+ individually-owned condos, suites, and single-dwelling homes throughout Metro Vancouver and Surrey. We also find tenants for apartment buildings we manage, and specialize in lease-up rental to fill purpose-built rental properties.

FAQs
-
How much does VADA charge for tenant placement services in Surrey?
We keep it straightforward with a flat fee and no hidden charges. Hiring a tenant placement service in Surrey is easy when it’s with us. We also offer discounts for owners who enlist our tenant placement services for multiple properties.
-
How does VADA determine rental rates in Surrey?
We draw from our up-to-date market knowledge and depth of experience to determine competitive rental rates for our clients. Whether you own a 3-bedroom townhouse rental in Newton or a studio rental in Surrey Central, we know what comparables are renting for in every neighbourhood. Other considerations include: condition, whether the property is new, old, or renovated, the size, and type of property.
-
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 property priced competitively, located in a convenient neighbourhood, and with desirable features may rent in 1-2 weeks. A listing in a brand new building with several competing rentals may take longer.
-
Do you stage unfurnished homes for showings?
Our lease services in Surrey invite both unfurnished and furnished rentals. However, it’s up to you how you want to present your home in your listing. The VADA team is happy to advise you on the best ways to optimize your showings.
