The Roofline Difference
Boutique leasing firm
We're a leasing agency.
Not a property manager.
Many landlords don't need full-service property management — they just need expert help filling a vacancy. Roofline was built for exactly that. We focus exclusively on leasing: marketing your property in Bedford & West Bedford, attracting qualified tenants, and completing the lease. Once your new tenant moves in, day-to-day management stays with you.

Our fee structure
One-time leasing fee. No ongoing management.

Leasing agency FAQ for Bedford landlords.
What does a leasing agency do?+
A leasing agency focuses on filling vacancies: marketing the property, conducting showings, screening applicants, and preparing the lease. Unlike a property manager, we do not collect monthly rent or handle day-to-day maintenance after move-in.
How is Roofline different from a property manager?+
Property managers typically charge an ongoing percentage of rent and oversee operations year-round. Roofline charges a one-time leasing fee and returns day-to-day management to you once the lease is signed.
What areas does Roofline serve?+
We lease residential properties across Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford and West Bedford, Sackville, Timberlea, East Hants (including Lantz, Enfield, and Elmsdale), Truro, and surrounding Nova Scotia communities.
How long does it take to find a tenant?+
Timing depends on the property, pricing, and season. Well-presented homes in our markets often lease within weeks; we set expectations during the consultation based on current demand.
What is included in the leasing fee?+
Marketing, photography, advertising, showings, application handling, tenant screening, RTB-compliant lease preparation, first and last collection, and tenant handover. Fee is due when the tenancy agreement is executed.
Do I need to be involved in showings?+
No. We coordinate and conduct showings for you. You stay informed on interest and applications, and approve the final tenant before lease signing.
