Property management in British Columbia — common questions
How do landlords collect rent in British Columbia with QuipKey?
Rent is collected by pre-authorised debit (PAD) in CAD, direct from your tenant's bank account on the day it is due. Bank transfer costs the tenant nothing. Card payments are available too, and the card fee is shown before anyone commits to it.
Does British Columbia require a specific lease form?
No single mandatory form applies in British Columbia. QuipKey builds the lease from a clause library, you e-sign it in the app, and the signed copy stays attached to the unit and the tenancy.
What does QuipKey cost a British Columbia landlord?
Billing is one flat rate per door per month, charged in CAD, with no tiers to choose between and every feature included from day one. It is free until your first property is verified, so nothing is billed while you set up. The current rate is shown live in the pricing section on the home page.
Is sales tax charged on contractor work in British Columbia?
Yes — contractor services in British Columbia carry 5% sales tax, and QuipKey applies it to marketplace jobs automatically so the invoice and your books already account for it. Rent itself is generally exempt and is not taxed.
Can tenants and contractors in British Columbia use QuipKey too?
Yes, and it is the same app. One download becomes a landlord, tenant or contractor account depending on how you sign in, and a single account can be more than one — a landlord who also rents switches between the two from their profile. It is free for tenants and free for contractors.
Does QuipKey work outside British Columbia?
Yes. QuipKey operates across Canada and the United States, billing each property in its own currency and applying the rent rail used in that country. A portfolio spanning both is handled as one account.
