KEILTY in Cornwall

KEILTY has managed rental property in Eastern Ontario since 2003 from its Kingston head office, and Cornwall is served by the same rental management team that runs the Kingston portfolio. Cornwall and the SD&G townships, South Dundas included, are a working market for us rather than a pin on a map: the team handles leasing, maintenance dispatch, inspections and Landlord and Tenant Board filings for owners here, and Brandon Ackerman, VP Rental Management, is the senior contact for every Cornwall client.

The portfolio here is rental homes, duplexes and small multi-family buildings, with apartment buildings handled under the same reporting standard as the rest of the company. Showings, inspections and repairs are run from the Kingston office with local trades.

Many Cornwall owners live in Ottawa, Montreal or further away. If you will not see the property yourself, you need photo-documented inspections, a written approval threshold for spending, and a monthly statement you can actually read. That is what we send, and you can call 613-545-3322 and reach a person who knows your file.

What Cornwall owners should know

Four facts we work from, with the sources, checked 2026-09-11.

Vacancy is loosening across Canada

CMHC's October 2025 Rental Market Survey put the national purpose-built vacancy rate at 3.1 per cent and the national average two-bedroom rent at $1,550, with rent growth slowing after several tight years. Cornwall is surveyed by CMHC as its own census agglomeration, and we pull the Cornwall table into every rental evaluation rather than pricing off a provincial average.

Property Standards By-law 2014-191

Cornwall does not list a residential rental licensing program, but every rental is bound by Property Standards By-law 2014-191, covering heating, stairs, porches, roofs, windows, doors, grass and refuse. A tenant who complains must first notify the landlord in writing; if the issue is not fixed, a by-law officer inspects and can issue a written order. Our annual inspection is built around that by-law. Source: City of Cornwall, Property Standards.

Logistics drives rental demand

Cornwall's business park sits on Highway 401, a CN main line and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Walmart Canada runs two distribution centres of 1.5 million square feet each with more than 2,500 workers, Loblaw and Shoppers Drug Mart operate a 900,000 square foot centre, and Michelin is opening a 984,000 square foot facility. St. Lawrence College's Cornwall campus has added a logistics program to feed it. Shift workers want parking, in-unit laundry and a manager who answers after hours. Source: Choose Cornwall.

New RTA rules, 2026-07-01 and 2026-09-21

On 2026-07-01 the Landlord and Tenant Board shortened the window to request a review of an order to 15 days, made its Payment Agreement Form mandatory for repayment plans, and doubled maximum fines to $100,000 for individuals and $500,000 for corporations. On 2026-09-21 the Bill 60 changes follow: a 7-day N4 termination period for non-payment, and no compensation owed on an N12 for personal use when 120 days or more of notice is given.

Cornwall property management questions

How much does property management cost in Cornwall?

KEILTY charges a flat monthly rate per unit for core management of a rental home or condo in Cornwall, plus a lease-up fee when we place a new resident. Buildings are priced differently. Current rates for houses and condos are on the single-family rental page, and rates for duplexes and small buildings are on the small multi-family page. Your free rental evaluation includes a written quote for your specific property.

Does KEILTY manage apartment buildings and small multi-family properties in Cornwall?

Yes. KEILTY manages single rental homes and condos, duplexes and small multi-family properties, and apartment buildings in Cornwall, South Dundas and the rest of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry. Leasing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, Landlord and Tenant Board filings and monthly owner reporting are all handled by the same team, with Brandon Ackerman, VP Rental Management, as the senior contact for owners.

Do I need a rental licence to rent out a property in Cornwall?

As of 2026-09 the City of Cornwall does not list a residential rental licensing program. Rental properties are governed by Property Standards By-law 2014-191, which sets the maintenance and occupancy standards for the interior and exterior of every property, and by the Ontario Residential Tenancies Act. KEILTY schedules the annual inspection and repairs against that by-law so a complaint never turns into an order. Details are on the City of Cornwall property standards page.

What changed for Ontario landlords in September 2026?

Bill 60 amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act take effect 2026-09-21. The minimum termination period on an N4 notice for non-payment drops from 14 days to 7 days, and a landlord who gives at least 120 days of notice on an N12 for personal use no longer pays the one month of compensation. Earlier changes on 2026-07-01 cut the window to request a review of a Landlord and Tenant Board order to 15 days, made the LTB Payment Agreement Form mandatory for repayment plans, and doubled maximum fines to $100,000 for individuals and $500,000 for corporations. KEILTY updates its notices and filing timelines for every Cornwall client as these come into force.
