Property management in Nova Scotia — common questions
How do landlords collect rent in Nova Scotia 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 Nova Scotia require a specific lease form?
Yes. Nova Scotia requires the Standard Form of Lease (Form P). QuipKey does not substitute its own document for it — it points you at the official form and keeps the signed copy, the tenant record and the payment history alongside it.
What does QuipKey cost a Nova Scotia 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 Nova Scotia?
Yes — contractor services in Nova Scotia carry 15% 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 Nova Scotia 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 Nova Scotia?
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.
