How Much Does Property Management Cost in Moncton? (2026 Pricing Guide)

Short answer: most property management companies in Moncton charge between 8% and 12% of the monthly rent collected, plus a one-time leasing fee when they place a new tenant. At TruHomestay, full long-term property management starts at just 5% of rent collected, plus a one-time leasing fee.

If you own a rental in Moncton, Dieppe, or Riverview, hiring a property manager can save you hours every month — but only if you understand what you're paying for. Two companies can both advertise "8%" and end up costing very different amounts once leasing fees, renewal fees, and maintenance markups are added in.

In this guide, we break down what property management really costs in Moncton in 2026, what should be included in the monthly fee, which extra fees to watch for, and how to choose a manager that fits your budget and your property.

Average Property Management Fees in Moncton (2026)

Property management pricing in Greater Moncton usually follows a similar structure. These are typical ranges you'll see when comparing companies for long-term residential rentals:

• Monthly management fee: typically 8%–12% of rent collected
• Leasing / tenant placement fee: often 50%–100% of one month's rent
• Lease renewal fee: sometimes $100–$300, or a flat percentage
• Maintenance markup: some companies add 10%–15% on top of contractor invoices
• Setup or onboarding fee: $0–$500 depending on the company

Short-term rentals (Airbnb and vacation rentals) are priced very differently — usually 15%–30% of booking revenue — because guest communication, cleaning turnovers, and nightly pricing require far more day-to-day work. This guide focuses on long-term rentals.

What's Included in the Monthly Management Fee?

A fair monthly fee should cover the ongoing work of running the tenancy. When comparing quotes, check that these services are included rather than billed separately:

• Rent collection and follow-up on late payments
• Tenant communication and day-to-day requests
• Maintenance coordination with trusted local contractors
• Routine property inspections
• Monthly owner statements and year-end reporting
• Notices, deposits, and compliance with New Brunswick's Residential Tenancies Act

Other Property Management Fees to Watch For

The headline percentage rarely tells the whole story. Before signing a management agreement, ask every company for a full fee schedule and look for:

• Leasing fees: what they cost and exactly what they cover (advertising, showings, screening, lease signing)
• Vacancy fees: charges applied even when the unit isn't earning rent
• Maintenance markups: a percentage added to every repair invoice
• Renewal fees: charges each time an existing tenant renews
• Early termination fees: what it costs to leave the agreement
• Fees charged on rent "due" instead of rent actually collected

A company charging 7% with a vacancy fee and maintenance markups can easily cost more over a year than one charging 10% with no extras. Always compare the total annual cost, not just the percentage.

TruHomestay Pricing: Starting at 5% of Rent Collected

TruHomestay's full long-term property management starts at 5% of monthly rent collected, plus a one-time leasing fee when we place a new tenant.

Here's what that difference looks like on a typical Moncton rental renting for $1,800 per month:

• At 5% (TruHomestay starting rate): $90 per month, or $1,080 per year
• At 10%: $180 per month, or $2,160 per year
• At 12%: $216 per month, or $2,592 per year

That's up to $1,500 a year back in your pocket on a single unit — and the savings grow with every property you own. Your exact rate depends on the property type, number of units, and the scope of service, so we confirm it in a tailored quote within one business day.

How to Find Affordable Property Management in Moncton

Looking for the lowest-cost property management in Moncton makes sense — but the cheapest quote isn't always the cheapest year. A manager who leaves a unit vacant for an extra month or places a tenant who stops paying will cost you far more than a few percentage points. To find genuinely affordable management:

• Compare total annual cost, including leasing, renewal, and maintenance fees
• Ask whether fees are charged on rent collected or rent due
• Check how they price rent — underpricing to lease fast costs you every month
• Ask about their average time to lease a unit in Moncton
• Read the management agreement's termination terms before signing

How to Choose the Best Property Management Company in Moncton

The best property manager for you is one that's local, transparent, and responsive. Ask these questions before you sign:

• Are you based in Greater Moncton, and who will my point of contact be?
• How do you screen tenants (credit, income, references, rental history)?
• How quickly do you respond to tenant maintenance requests?
• How often do you inspect the property, and do I get photos?
• What reporting do I receive each month and at tax time?
• Can you share reviews or references from current owners?
• How do you handle arrears and the Residential Tenancies Tribunal?

Is a Property Manager Worth It?

For many owners, yes. Professional management means better tenant screening, faster leasing, fewer late-night calls, and fewer costly mistakes with New Brunswick tenancy rules. It's especially valuable if you live outside Moncton, own several units, or simply value your time.

Self-managing can work if you live nearby and have the time and patience for it. If you're weighing both options, our guide on self-managing versus hiring a management company walks through the trade-offs in detail. And management fees are generally deductible as a rental expense on your Canadian tax return, which reduces their real cost.
