👋 Meet Paul J Rouillard
Founder of OLH Property Management, LandlordEzy.ca, and List It Realty Brokerage Inc.
📌 A Legacy of Landlord Advocacy
Paul J Rouillard has been a household name in Ontario’s landlord community for over 15 years. As the founder of the Ontario Landlord Help Group and several other landlord advocacy networks, Paul has helped thousands of landlords navigate the complexities of the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB), tenant screening, and property management.
🏡 From Humble Beginnings to Real Estate Leadership
Paul was raised in a working-class family. His parents traveled across Canada in search of employment, with his father working in coal mines, gold mines, and other physically demanding jobs. Eventually, they settled down and purchased their first property. Over time, they learned how to leverage equity and acquire multiple student rentals. As Paul got older, he began helping with property management — handling tenants, collecting rent, showing units, and managing day-to-day issues. By the young age of 16, Paul was already negotiating leases, managing tenant relationships, and overseeing the entire rental portfolio. At 22, he launched his own property management company and became a licensed Realtor in the same year. Today, with over 23 years of experience, Paul owns both a full-service property management firm and his own real estate brokerage.
👨⚖️ A Unique Approach: Paralegals as Property Managers
Paul made a groundbreaking decision that sets OLH apart — he hires licensed paralegals as property managers. His philosophy is simple:
“I can train a paralegal to become a great property manager, but I can’t train a property manager to become a paralegal.”
Paul has interviewed and worked with hundreds of paralegals and knows exactly what to look for. Although not a paralegal himself, Paul possesses unmatched knowledge of landlord-tenant law — often exceeding that of many licensed professionals.
💻 LandlordEzy.ca – Built From the Ground Up
Frustrated with the lack of quality tools for landlords, Paul built his own property management platform — LandlordEzy.ca. With over 15 years of development, it features:
- AI-powered tenant screening & credit checks
- Lease management tools
- Rent reminders & legal notice automation
- Debt reporting to Equifax
- 45,000+ searchable LTB orders
- The exclusive “Landlord Handshake” system
It’s designed for everyone — from solo landlords to major property management firms.
💼 Multi-Million Dollar Portfolio Consulting
Paul and his team now work with landlords and investors across Ontario to turn underperforming buildings into high-cash-flow portfolios. From expense reduction to rent roll improvement, his strategies help transform buildings into profit-generating machines — including assets valued at hundreds of millions of dollars.
👨👩👧👦 A Family-Run, Hands-On Operation
Paul’s wife, Bahar, works side-by-side with him. She manages client portfolios, handles staging, oversees operations, and supports renovation projects. Together, they also buy, fix, and flip homes — combining real estate savvy with design and construction expertise.

Paul believes in supporting the landlord community. His team of property manager paralegals spends 5+ hours every day offering free 15-minute strategy sessions to landlords across Ontario.
