Virtual Lunch & Learn Series: Find, Sign & Manage Great Tenants - 4 Weekly Sessions with Hart Togman, Rent Panda Property Management
I get asked about being a landlord all the time: how to write a rental ad, how to screen tenants, what to put in a lease, and how to keep up with all the paperwork. The best person to ask is someone who does this every week. I learn from the best.
So I’m hosting my good friend Hart Togman for a 4-part weekly lunch-hour series (12PM to 1PM ET) . Each week covers one stage of renting out your unit, from the first ad to running it like a business.
Hart Togman, from Rent Panda Property Management, a property management company with 1,500+ units under management across Ontario. Before Rent Panda, Hart worked in advertising. Today his team lists units, signs new tenants, and handles repairs every single week.

Did you know some rules in your lease might not count at all? In Ontario, if a rule goes against the rental law, it doesn’t hold up, even if your tenant signed it.
What does the Ontario Standard Lease already cover?
Which extra rules work, like rules about utilities, tenant insurance and keys?
Which rules don’t count, and why do landlords keep adding them anyway?
How do you write a rule that is clear to your tenant and to the Landlord and Tenant Board?
