Online leasing is a highly effective module, both internally and externally. Internally, online leasing creates a more efficient and organized workplace. The platform consolidates paperwork and eliminates incomplete lease documents. The beauty of today’s online leasing platforms is their ability to monitor the application process by not allowing applicants to move forward in the process unless all steps and signatures have been completed.

“Rental rates and concessions both seemed to have firmed up over the last couple of quarters,” says Henry Morton, president of Campus Suites—which own and operates a number of units in the Toronto metro area. Morton adds: “Occupancy may or may not be up, as various owners [and] managers make economic decisions based upon their net numbers. Some managers feel that if you can get the generally higher rents, then occupancy should follow if they believe in the market and they push it to find the break point, which is a very good model.

President of Campus Suites, Henry Morton, provides Student Housing Business with the following information. Students want to be provided with high-quality living options and become quickly frustrated when there aren’t any options that meet the needs and demands of their lifestyle. There are some estimates that say that only 16,000-18,000 purpose-built student housing beds have been built in the whole country. There is already a smaller number of Canadian universities that students have to choose from compared to the United States, and the lack of inadequate student housing could leave a large population of students living at home, or possibly without a college education. In order to address the demand for purpose-built housing, York University initiated an RFP process for the main campus with the expectation of up to a 2,200-bed project that will be transformative for the future of the school.

Parents investing in “kiddie condos” for their university-level children is not a new phenomenon — many parents-turned-landlords have scooped up rental properties for their kids, leasing the other rooms as an alternative to paying rent. “Sometimes, people don’t always recognize that prices don’t always go up. And they don’t always realize that managing one or two beds, or one or two apartments, is sometimes a little more complicated than what they might be ready for,” said Henry Morton, president of Campus Suites. Click to Read More.
