What’s the legal framework?

Guardian Angels Property places its trust in our accomplished Legal Advisors, whom guide our legal interactions with property owners and property protectors.

Our licenses are meticulously crafted to align with prevailing legal regulations, and they undergo periodic updates and revisions as needed.

All contractual arrangements with our clients are assessed by our attorneys, ensuring that formal contracts are not only agreed upon but also duly executed.

This meticulous legal oversight provides our clients with the assurance of their property's legal standing and offers clarity regarding the terms of the License Agreements.

Can I have access to my building?

Yes. Just give us 24 hours notice and we will accommodate you, whether it’s contractors, realtors or prospective buyers.

Do I need “change of use” permission?

No, the building's primary use remains unchanged. The temporary deviation from its usual use is not a relevant factor.

What kind of buildings are suitable?

Almost any building can be considered suitable, as long as it is windproof, watertight, and has access to electricity and cold water. We have the capability to install temporary bathroom and kitchen facilities, which can be easily removed before returning the building to its original condition.

Will the Empty Property Tax be affected?

Our team is well versed on property taxes, such as the Federal Underused Housing Tax Act (UHTA) and the Vacant Home Tax (VHT) in Toronto. Please get in touch for more information about tax exemptions, which have the potential to save on costly vacant property taxes.

Can Property Protectors obtain tenancy rights?

No, our legal framework is designed to prevent Property Protectors from acquiring any tenancy rights. We maintain a continuous relationship with our Property Protectors, and in most cases, we aim to facilitate their relocation to other properties when a property is returned.

Do you charge a management fee?

No. Other companies may do, however, we are proud to provide our services to our clientele complimentary, which enables significant amounts of savings.

Who carries out maintenance to the building?

We provide a comprehensive array of facility management solutions that seamlessly complement our Property Protector services.

Whether you require minor repairs or extensive renovations, our network of skilled and certified tradespeople is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing your property, safeguarding it against weather-related wear and tear, water infiltration, and environmental harm.

Our offerings encompass a spectrum of services, including key holding, grounds upkeep, building clearance, and thorough cleaning. We are committed to delivering a cost-effective, customised package that optimises your savings.

What are the Property Protector contract terms?

Prospective property protectors undergo interviews and background checks (previous landlord references, criminal record check, employment history etc.), then receive a thorough orientation before being presented with our formal contract and Terms and Conditions (T&Cs).

This ensures they have a clear understanding of their role and responsibilities as property protectors. Each property we manage has specific Terms and Conditions tailored to the contract, which we discuss based on individual preferences.

Property Protectors are aware that we operate as a professional Property Protection Company, distinct from traditional Letting Agents or Landlords offering standard ASTs (Tenancy Agreements).

When our client's contract concludes, the Property Protector’s License agreement also ends, and they are granted a 28-day Notice period to vacate the premises.

While we make efforts to relocate Property Protectors to other available rooms, we cannot provide guarantees in this regard.
