  • How is rent collection handled?

    Citysearch offers several means for a tenant to pay rent including e-transfers, post dated cheques, pre-authorized debit payments. Many of Citysearch’s corporate clients, the major employers will be invoiced collectively, and pay by direct wire deposit to the Citysearch trust bank account.
  • How long of a lease do you sign?

    This depends on the owner-client preference. However, most tenancies are for a period of one year or longer. The corporate relocation tenants most often wish to align the tenancy term with the duration of the tenant’s work visa which is often 3-4 years.
  • How much security deposit do you charge the tenant?

    Citysearch collects a security deposit which also is frequently referred to a damage deposit, equal to one month’s rent pursuant to the maximum amount allowable pursuant to the Residential Tenancies Act of Alberta.

    Citysearch can typically commence the management within 48 hours of our initial consultation once an agency agreement is in place and title is confirmed.

    Citysearch manages condominiums, both apartment-style and townhouses, single family detached and duplex residential homes and apartment buildings.
  • What type of reports do I get and how often?

    Citysearch offers several types of financial reports and these are available on the Owner Portal. Most owners prefer a cash flow statement monthly and one reflecting year end.
  • Who holds the tenant’s security deposit?

    Citysearch holds all security deposits in a trust account on behalf of the tenant’s property pursuant to the Residential Tenancies Act of Alberta. The government of Alberta establishes the interest rate payable to the Tenant for the deposit monies.
  • Do you provide nonresident administration?

    Yes, Citysearch provides full nonresident administration including monthly withholdings and remittances to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as set out by the Government of Canada.
  • Can I use your services if I already have an agent listing my home for sale?

    Citysearch Rental Network respects the Law of Agency and will work in alignment with your Realtor. If a Tenant is found before a Buyer is found, we recommend you simply have the property removed from the sales market. If your Realtor finds a Buyer before a Tenant is secured, then you simply send us a copy of your contract and you can terminate without paying the full contract termination penalty. We would be pleased to review the specifics.
  • Do you have a pet or smoking policy for properties that you manage?

    It is recommended that a property owner be ‘pet friendly’ where possible. By not accepting pets, you may be seriously limiting the rental audience for your property. Our pet policy is as follows:

    • Rental applicants with household pets or service/companion/assistive animals are required to submit a pet application and execute Citysearch’s comprehensive Pet Maintenance Agreement.

    The vast majority of our tenant prospects are sourced via our vast corporate and global relocation networks. However, we also list the property and its features on our web site along with some online rental sites. We customize a marketing strategy for each property to best reach the target audience.
  • I would like to manage my property myself. can you help me find a tenant?

    Citysearch does not offer or promote a “tenant procurement only’ service. It is our experience that the caliber of tenants Citysearch attracts are ones that require a property that is professionally managed. Ask us why… there are many reasons.
  • Can we engage citysearch to manage my property, even if it is currently tenant occupied?

    Yes. We would be happy to discuss the next steps to facilitate managing your property.

Reviews

About Calgary

Calgary, Alberta stands at the point where the vast Canadian prairie meets the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains. Glittering skyscrapers rise out of mature suburban neighborhoods at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers. Surrounded by beautiful country on all sides of the city, and connected to nature inside through an array of parks and recreational pathways, the land is never far from the minds of the people of Calgary. Substantial Alberta oil resources have created a vibrant economy; the distant mountains offer locals and tourists from around the globe attract skiers and snowboarders in the winter months; and, during the balmy summers, cattle roam the flat expanse of grassland throughout Alberta’s cowboy country.

As well as being the gateway to the Rocky Mountains, Calgary also grew into a tourist destination in its own right. Visitors flocked to take in the city's burgeoning cowboy culture, expressed every year in the Calgary Stampede which was held formally for the first time in 1912. The Rocky Mountains and, in particular, Banff National Park, attract thousands more who are drawn by the stunning alpine beauty and its famous hotel. As the popularity of winter leisure sports such as downhill skiing and snowboarding increased, so did Calgary's own popularity, all culminating in the city's hosting of the XV Olympic Winter Games in 1988.

Many have likened the Calgary of today to a Canadian Dallas, a comparison that is not without merit. Like Dallas, Calgary is a confident, often-brash cowboy town that grew wealthy on oil, where they play country and western music in noisy taverns and eat thick and juicy steaks in the restaurants. As an image, however, this captures only a small part of what the city and its people are actually like. Calgary is also a city of diverse and vibrant neighborhoods, where its residents relax in cafés, stroll the scenic streets or take in the opera, although they are just as likely to head off to the great outdoors. Its technology industries have grown immensely, diversifying the economy and making it less of a one-horse cowboy town and more of a 21st-century city.
