Sumit Mittal, Student Housing Hero

Meet  Sumit. He's a landlord with and  he chooses to rent  to ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ students because there's always a demand for student housing in Sault Ste. Marie.

Sumit thinks being a landlord is great because you get an income from rent and can even see  property value go up over time.  He finds that there's always many students looking for housing which means there is little worry about vacancies with his properties. He can  fill properties quickly and  have  a steady stream of rental income.

He likes having positive relationships with the students who rent from him throughout their college year -  they get a stable place to live, and he doesn't have to worry about finding new tenants every year.  Being a landlord comes with responsibility, so some people hire property management  companies such like the one Sumit works for to handle day-to-day operations. It helps take off some pressure.

Highlights of Renting to Students

When Sumit rents to our students, he knows he'll have  consistent demand for his rentals, a lower risk of rental defaults, and can be flexible with lease terms. Sumit finds that being a landlord for students is very rewarding and gives him a chance to build positive relationships with the tenants.  Of course, Sumit has some expectations from his tenants. He wants clear communication, respect for the property and the neighbourhood, and reliable students with good character.
