Fantastic experience: 10/10 recommend flex property developments for all property management needs. Hands down best in the city! From admin to maintenance the team at flex does an amazing job.
Fantastic experience: Very professional competent property manager with lots of experience. Nobody better in the Ottawa area.
Fantastic experience: Gen and her team, are helpful and prompt in helping if you have any questions or concerns. They make sure your experience is the very best. They think of everything and everything is top notch. Flex property is like the summer 2025, excellent.
Negative experience: I would not recccomend them, I used them to manage my Airbnb and they would charge me so much in fees. They take 18% off the top then bill you for every little thing they can. From there they make more then you will. When you complain about it they just make excuses.
Thank you for the review. Flex Property Developments is a long term property management company only. Our management fees range from 5-8 percent.
Fantastic experience: One of the best PM companies in Ottawa! They’re always our first choice when looking for a rental.
Negative experience: was a client of Flex Property Management and would not recommend them. They nickel-and-dime for everything—hourly rates, add-ons, and extra charges—sometimes making more than I did in certain months. At first, they’ll send someone to your property and make things look promising, but once you’re signed on, the service drops. They’ve grown too big and can’t give the personal attention a smaller company would. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere—plenty of other landlords have had the same bad experience.
Fantastic experience: Quick to respond and friendly company. Would recommend !
Fantastic experience: Amazing customer service! Dealt with Bianca. Efficient, professional and so pleasant to deal with. Will definitely reach out to her again, thank you Bianca!

Fantastic experience: Courteous and efficient communication. Understood what I was looking for and was very responsive and timely in options.
Fantastic experience: Amazing team!
Negative experience: I used FlexProperty and their sister company, Short and Suite B&B, for almost two years. At first, things seemed fine, but I cannot recommend them to anyone. As soon as I ended my contract, I was able to get an Airbnb guest paying nearly 70% more than what they had been bringing in. They also tack on extra hourly fees and push to fill properties with month-to-month tenants at rates close to unfurnished market rent — instead of charging proper furnished monthly rates. It feels like they’ve gotten too big and now prioritize filling units quickly for their own profit, rather than maximizing returns for owners. I strongly recommend looking for another management company. Do not use FlexProperty or Short and Suite B&B.
Good morning Jessica,
Thank you for providing your feedback. We always aim to ensure landlords have a positive experience with us so I am sorry to hear about yours. We have reviewed our contracts and do not have anyone listed under this name as a current or previous landlord of ours.
To provide feedback on our 2025 stats on our short term rentals (kindly note flex property developements is not a short term rental company) however we will respond with our stats for our sister company in 2025:
Occupancy rate: 76.3% which is 19.3% higher than similar listings in the Ottawa area
Nightly rate: $161 per night which is $24.6 higher than similar listings in the Ottawa area.
We work hard to ensure all listings are performing well and in accordance with the Ottawa short term bylaws.
Thank you for your review

Fantastic experience: As a real estate agent, I've had the privilege of working with many property managers, but Gen and her team at Flex Property Developments stand out as exceptional in every regard. Their dedication to providing top-notch service, coupled with their unwavering professionalism, sets a benchmark in the property management industry. If I could give them 10 stars instead of 5, I would without hesitation. From the moment we began collaborating, Gen has proven to be a pillar of reliability and efficiency. Whether it's a routine maintenance request or an urgent issue that requires immediate attention, Flex Property Developments is always available. Their responsiveness is second to none, ensuring that every concern is addressed promptly and effectively. This level of accessibility is a game-changer in real estate, providing peace of mind to property owners and tenants alike. What truly sets Gen apart is her hands-on approach. She doesn't just oversee operations; she is actively involved in every aspect of property management. Her proactive nature means potential problems are often identified and resolved before they escalate. This foresight saves time, money, and a lot of headaches. It's a testament to her expertise and commitment to excellence. Professionalism is a hallmark of Flex Property Developments. Every interaction with Gen and her team is marked by respect, transparency, and a genuine desire to serve the best interests of their clients. They maintain a high standard of communication, keeping all parties informed and ensuring that everyone is on the same page. This clarity fosters trust and builds lasting relationships. Furthermore, the comprehensive range of services offered by Flex Property Developments is impressive. From regular property maintenance to complex project management, they handle it all with skill and precision. Their network of reliable contractors ensures that every job is done to the highest standard, reflecting their commitment to quality and excellence. In an industry where reliability and professionalism are paramount, Gen and Flex Property Developments shine brightly. They are not just property managers; they are dedicated partners who go above and beyond to ensure the success and satisfaction of their clients. Working with them has been an absolute pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a top-tier property management experience. If there was an option to give 10 stars instead of 5, Flex Property Developments would undoubtedly deserve it.
Negative experience: They NEVER answer customer calls and did not provided a legitimate reason for airbnb claim denial. Still out $670. Terrible experience with this management company.
Good morning Mustafa,
Thank you for your review, however this company does not manage Airbnbs and you are not a client of Flex Property Developments.
However, as you are a client of our sister company we will answer on their behalf.
Our team communicates very promptly to all clients through email, phone or our management portal. We do not use Whatsapp as a means of communication. As you know, anytime you messaged on Whatsapp we were quick to reply through email. We have our preferred means of messaging to ensure clients are responded to promptly.
I understand the Airbnb claim is frustrating. It is up to Airbnbs discretion on the claims they pay out or not. We submitted the claim on your behalf for the 1 window blind valued at $670 and then Airbnb makes their decision. I understand it is frustrating they didn't approve it but we continue to escalate it through supervisors at Airbnb to hopes have it over turned. We have communicated to you what we are doing to try and get a resolution with Airbnb. I know its frustrating but we will continue to keep on them.
Thank you
Negative experience: I recently had a DISHEARTENING experience with this business that proved to be a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME. BE AWARE!. This company will screw you over at the second they can and will use anything and change anything to cover up. They will lie about anything change facts and twist things around. We had a delivered item stolen from our house. We provided all the necessary documents, pictures of delivered item, tracking , time stamp, dates with all that it was an headache to push the company to go forward with a claim. We ended up receiving the claim after fighting for it and only once the guests admitted they stole the item and willing to pay it back. The guests were DIRTY , didn't follow many house rules and STOLE from my property. From the outset, UNPROFESSIONALISM was glaring, with dismissal of important questions and a LACK of COMMUNICATION. They INTENTIONALLY IGNORED many times very specific questions hoping that I will just forget about them. Without my consent the company decided to change the review I left about their guests who stole from my property. This is a major RED FLAG. Trust, a crucial element in any business relationship, was shattered as promises went unfulfilled. The entire ordeal left me deeply DISSATISFIED, highlighting the importance of thorough research before engaging with any company to avoid such FRUSTRATING and UNTRUSTWORTHY encounters.
Dear Boukar,
Kindly note you were not a client of Flex Property but rather a sister company. We will respond on their behalf.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review and to provide your feedback.
We pride ourselves on providing great experiences to tenants, guests, and the property owners we represent. I am sorry that your experience fell short.
I’m happy that once you provided the necessary documentation, we were able file a claim and get you reimbursed for the missing property. I also know that homes can appear to by quite messy when guests leave – this is why, as a full service agency, we would have been happy to provide our cleaning services, should you not have chosen to opt out.
I recognize during this experience you felt that we weren’t able to give you the answers you were looking for. I am sorry that these types of investigations can last a few days, and I recognize the frustration this can cause while we are still working toward a resolution. However, in the end I am pleased that we were able to resolve the situation ensuring that you were reimbursed fully for your loss, while providing a fair review on AirBNB about the guest’s stay.
If you would like to continue chatting, please feel free to reach out. We are always happy to help.
Fantastic experience: Flex Property Developments is a client of mine and therefore I've had the opportunity to visit many of the properties and observe first hand the excellent customer service they to both property owners and tenants alike.
Fantastic experience: Great business! Hard working team, very responsive
Fantastic experience: I’ve always had a great experience with Geneveive. She is very professional and does a great job.
Negative experience: I rented a basement apartment through Flex Property from May – December. The apartment was great, newly renovated, very clean upon move in. Flex was also quick and easy to deal with during the process of securing the apartment even though I was in another province and didn’t actually view the apartment. Unfortunately, the experience thereafter was not as great. After driving three days across the country we arrived at our apartment late afternoon/early evening. We used the door code provided to us and it didn’t work. I called Genevieve, emailed and left messages but no answer. I called the 24/7 service line as well and no answer. Finally, after a half hour or so of being stuck on the lawn assuming that I had been scammed I got a text from their 24/7 support and they provided me with another code (123456). Genevieve / Flex never apologized for the situation when I was clearly upset and thought I had been scammed. Also, I asked them if we could change the door code from 123456 since I imagine that is the default code and easy to guess and they said no. Most importantly the lease I signed was inaccurate. I was in a rush to secure an apartment since I was given very short notice that I had to move to Ontario for work so I didn’t ask about some things like parking. However, when I received the lease I was pleased to see that I very clearly had an off street parking spot in the drive way. When I arrived at the apartment I saw that the driveway was only single lane. Since my lease stated I had a parking spot I parked in the driveway and assumed the upstairs tenants didn’t have a vehicle. About two weeks later, the landlord told me verbally that the driveway was for the upstairs tenant and I would need to park on the road. I was never advised of this in writing. My suggestion to Flex is that perhaps they should have the individual landlords review the leases before sending them out for signature.. Flex uses a tenant portal for tenants to submit maintenance requests, queries, etc. It’s sporadic whether they will answer a request, ignore a request, or respond to it a week or two later. I can’t speak for being a landlord using Flex but pretty much immediately my landlord reached out to me and gave me his cell number so we didn’t need to go through Flex because he said they take too long to answer requests. I had several that are probably still unanswered and I moved out months ago. My suggestion to Flex is hiring more staff if they cannot manage their current volume of tenants. Since I started looking at other rental properties while I was living there I also got to experience viewing a rental property with Flex. It was strange.. we had an appointment time set up to view the rental property and when I arrived the person from Flex was waiting in their vehicle. When they tried to access the house the keys wouldn’t work. We spent 15-20 minutes trying to gain access while the person was on the phone talking to Flex to figure out what keys to use, etc. My husband and I both were trying to get the door open as well. After we got the door open it was clear the Flex person had never been in there before and it was their first time viewing the apartment as well. My suggestion to Flex is that your people showing apartments should perhaps arrive a little early to a viewing and get the door open maybe take a walk through the house so they know what is there. Anyway, 2/5 stars only because the apartment itself was excellent condition and accurate to the description and my very initial interactions with them were good. I’d probably rate 1.5/5 if I could.
Hi Erica
Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate that you did enjoy the apartment. All landlords do review their leases before they are sent out. This included the parking situation. Sometimes third party management can have some delays while we wait for owner feedback. I understand this isn’t ideal but all requests are handled in 48 hours. I’m glad you enjoyed the apartment
Negative experience: Their Air Bnbs are filthy. Dirty. They do not care about customers. Genevieve and her disgusting team are deep in the pockets with AirBnb. There was mold growing in the shower (not cleaned); hair and dirt all over the living room and bedroom floors (not vacuumed nor mopped); and signs of negligence (wobbly furniture, dirty kitchen, and they do not prepare it for future guests). They charged us a $120+ cleaning fee for what? Also, you cannot complain to them, because they won't listen and will argue that you had to complain while you were still staying there. Genevieve and her "team of girl power boss babes" (stated on their AirBnb biography) are running a fraudulent business where they do not care about most of their units, especially the "lower end" ones. Gen and Ally, you are vile
Good afternoon
Thank you for your review. This is not the correct company however. We manage mid term and long term stays. Short term stays is not in our portfolio. Thank you.
Negative experience: This company also rents airbnbs, horrific experience, a member of our group left headphones on the table and the hosts have effectively stolen them by claiming to have not seen them during their extensive clean.
Hi Adam
Thanks for the feedback. Sorry to hear about your headphones. As mentioned, they were not in the unit at check out. We have looked everywhere for them but they haven’t been found. Thank you
Negative experience: Do not use this company! We had the worst experience with them. They do not respond to their tenants, they do not care! The property was disgustingly dirty and the furniture was broken, an old mattress stained with blood and all sorts of nasty stuff . The cupboard doors missing in the kitchen and bathroom. The bed & chairs were broken and sofa not usable. The walls were filthy, the floors disgusting. There was no router for wifi as advertised. It was rented as a furnished with stocked kitchen & lines 1 towel, no proper bedding ( there was a flat sheet ) no mattress protector. Do not trust them with your property or tenants.
Hi Taryn
I’m sorry to hear that. We would love to help. If you can reach out to us we will assist. We don’t have you as an active tenant with us currently. Sorry for the inconvenience but looking forward to hearing from you
Positive experience: Flex has provided a few property options for my company in the past. Their service is very friendly. They do, however, often seem to be overly-busy to attend to urgent requests and (I personally believe) largely offer properties already available through Airbnb or other. Would recommend.
Hi David thank you for your 4 star review! Thank you for the feedback, we have implemented the proper tools to ensure a quicker response time. This is something we will continue to work on :)
Positive experience: Update-The issue was fixed and the service provided by the tech was amazing. After maybe 20 and more times of sending maintenance request in just less than 2 weeks that I have lived here, the issues are still not fixed. The first maintenance guy was told to fix something that was not even mentioned in the request, it’s been so stressful living in this unit that is management by them. No one picks up the call, horrible experience so far. I was told that the house will be inspected before move in but it doesn’t seem like it was. All the issues still persist.
Negative experience: When you call, they don't want to help , they just delegate you to ask your request by email.. and sometimes you don't have time to play email tag. That usually takes more then one day.. just take the time to help out your customers live please
Hi Charles I’m sorry to hear that. We have an emergency line for emergencies which is available 24/7. Or you can send a request through the portal or by email. We haven’t received either of yours yet. Happy to help when you are ready
Fantastic experience: Gen and her team are always highly responsive and helpful with any of our inquiries and we are very pleased with their services. We highly recommend Flex properties !
Positive experience: Have to wait 4 days+ just to get an estimate on fees..... EDITED REVIEW: I can see why these guys are busy. Very thorough consultation and I really appreciate the customized services based on my own individual needs.
Hi Joel
It’s disappointing to see this review. Our team immediately reached out to you to book a call on Sept 26 however you booked a scheduled call with us on sept 29. Looking forward to chatting with you tomorrow
Fantastic experience: Gen and her team at Flex are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! They manage over 50 units for us in 5 different towns and our tenants love them too. The only ones who may not love them are bad tenants who... well wouldn't like the govt either even if they were given free housing. Team Flex keep growing and doing well. You are awesome and much appreciated. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind review! We’re so lucky to have such wonderful landlords and tenants we work with everyday!
Negative experience: Very hard to get answers or phone numbers to call someone.
Hi Rob I’m sorry to hear this. I’ve reviewed our teams interactions with you to find an apartment and it looks like the team replied back to you within 1-3 hours on your initial inquiries. We do try to respond as quickly as possible. Feel free to reach out to the office and we can assist more promptly. Wishing you the best on your apartment search:)
