Owner-operators
Our own money is in the same market. Every recommendation — setting a rent, approving a repair, applying an increase — comes from people who live with it on their own buildings.

From your first call to your first monthly statement.
How it works
Step 01 · Day 1
A 20-minute call
You walk us through the building, the leases and what's eating your time. We'll tell you straight if we're the right fit.
Step 02 · Week 1
Analysis and written plan
Market rents unit by unit, allowable TAL 2026 increase, maintenance to plan for. All in one document, free.
Step 03 · Weeks 2–3
Takeover
We collect the leases, notify tenants in French, set up payments and put our tradespeople in place. You do nothing.
Step 04 · Every month
Management and monthly statement
Rent collected, emergencies handled, invoices visible. Your statement lands on the 5th — and we call you before you have to call us.
Built by landlords, for small landlords.
Our approach
TAL expertise, bilingual
The 2026 calculation, the mandatory lease, renewal notices, hearings. In French with tenants, in French or English with you. This is our ground — not the Ottawa firms'.
Radical transparency
A clear monthly statement, every invoice visible, a spending cap you pre-approve, no hidden markup. The opposite of the industry's reputation — and we prove it every month.
The proof, every month
Your monthly statement: income, expenses, invoices attached. Nothing left to guess.
Sent on the 5th of every month. The percentage is calculated on rent collected — never on rent expected.

Parking$420
Maintenance (invoices attached)−$1,130
Paid out to owner$12,504

About
We're landlords before we're managers.
Arcature is two Outaouais landlords who have run their four Gatineau buildings for years: the rent, the leases, the TAL, the renovations, the middle-of-the-night calls. Neighbouring landlords were already asking us for advice — so we turned it into a business.
What we promise is simple: your building is treated exactly like ours, and you see everything we do. Here's what we'd do if it were our building — because it's what we do with ours.
