The PM said they don't up-charge, but most repairs and expenses were ridiculously high.

.- Cities like Toronto will levy another tax (Vacant Home tax) equivalent to 1% of the current assessed value of the property if the property is not occupied (rented, owner-occupied, family occupied, all count as occupied)- Land Transfer Tax: while the Province of Ontario charges anywhere between 0.5 - 2% of Land Transfer Tax when your transaction closes, you should expect to pay this amount twice if the property is in the City of Toronto .

We are currently charging $1300/unit/month  and expecting to be charging the same this coming year.

Call about 4 of them and ask them to explain how they charge and the process. 

For a good tenant that has paid on time and was keeping the place in good clean condition I probably would have just eaten the charge.

When you are pricing out your offers make sure to price in how much you are charging for assignment of contract.

I'll keep it fully furnished, so I can potentially charge more, especially since it’s also near a major hospital in Astoria and close to LGA.Do you think this plan is feasible?

You'll see some familiar names thrown around a lot: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend you search for each app online and see what they offer, how much they charge, etc.

If it turns out that the tenant clogged the drain, we give them one warning and after that we charge them.

Home warranty programs charge a trip fee every time you file a claim, and they use that fee to compensate the vendor.
