Why Windsor & Essex County Landlords Choose OLH Property Management
Managing rental property in Windsor and Essex County requires more than rent collection.
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 is not a typical property management company.
Our property managers are licensed Ontario Paralegals,
trained to manage rental properties with full legal awareness.
This allows notices, Landlord and Tenant Board applications,
and compliance matters to be handled correctly from day one —
without outsourcing or delays.
Eviction & Legal Enforcement Under One Roof
From N4 notices and L1 applications
to hearings and enforcement,
OLH coordinates Landlord and Tenant Board matters
with speed and accuracy.
Windsor and Essex County landlords benefit from faster action,
fewer procedural errors, and legally compliant outcomes.
Licensed REALTORS® & MLS® Tenant Placement
OLH works in partnership with List It Realty Brokerage Inc.,
allowing rental properties to be listed on MLS® and REALTOR.ca.
Showings, tenant screening, and lease signings
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.
Powered by LandlordEzy.ca
OLH utilizes LandlordEzy.ca — a proprietary landlord platform
used by thousands of Ontario landlords.
The system supports tenant screening, credit checks,
rent reporting, document storage,
and transparent communication across all properties.
Real People. Real Accountability.

a licensed REALTOR®, real estate broker,
and experienced Ontario landlord.
Landlords know exactly who is responsible for their property,
their tenants, and their legal outcomes.

“You cannot train a property manager to become a paralegal —

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.
