Why Windsor & Essex County Landlords Choose OLH Property Management

It requires deep knowledge of Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act,
the Landlord and Tenant Board, and the ability to act quickly
when tenant issues arise.

OLH Property Management was built specifically to protect landlords —
legally, financially, and operationally.

Property Managers Who Are Licensed Paralegals

OLH works in partnership with List It Realty Brokerage Inc.,
allowing rental properties to be listed on MLS® and REALTOR.ca.

are completed professionally by licensed real estate agents —
not third parties.

Rent Reporting to Equifax Canada

All managed tenants have their rent payments reported to
Equifax Canada through LandlordEzy.ca.
On-time payments help tenants build credit,
while missed payments are documented —
increasing accountability and reducing repeat arrears.

About the Founder – Paul J. Rouillard

OLH Property Management was founded by
Paul J. Rouillard,
a real estate broker, landlord advocate,
and the owner of multiple Ontario-based real estate and property management platforms.
Paul built OLH to solve the real problems landlords face —
not with theory, but with structure, enforcement, and accountability.

A Legal-First Approach to Property Management

After working with thousands of landlords across Ontario,
Paul recognized a fundamental problem in the industry:
most property management companies are reactive —
not legally prepared.

OLH was built around a simple belief:
property management must be grounded in legal knowledge,
proactive enforcement,
and compliance with Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act.

Building Teams the Right Way

Paul strongly believes that
you cannot train a property manager to become a paralegal
due to licensing and regulatory requirements —
but you can train licensed paralegals
to become exceptional property managers.

This philosophy ensures OLH clients benefit from
legally informed decision-making,
proper documentation,
and professional enforcement from the very beginning of a tenancy.

Founder of List It Realty & LandlordEzy.ca

In addition to OLH Property Management,
Paul is the owner of
List It Realty Brokerage Inc.,
allowing OLH to provide licensed leasing and MLS® exposure,
as well as the founder of
LandlordEzy.ca.

LandlordEzy is used by thousands of landlords across Ontario
for tenant screening, credit checks,
rent reporting to Equifax,
and property management documentation —
further strengthening accountability and transparency.
