A condo management company looks after the day-to-day running of a Condominium Corporation on behalf of the Condo Board. That covers maintenance, AGM preparation, owner and resident communication, financial management, and bylaw enforcement. It also means staying compliant with Alberta’s Condominium Property Act and keeping up with newer developments like Alberta’s Condominium Dispute Resolution Tribunal (CDRT), which gives Corporations and Owners a more streamlined way to resolve certain disputes.

The idea is simple. We take the administrative load off volunteer Board members and keep the Corporation running smoothly and in good standing.

In Calgary, the terms are often used interchangeably but they refer to different roles and in Alberta, each requires a separate license from the Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA). A Condo Manager (known as a Community Manager at Tribe) works on behalf of a Condominium Corporation and its elected Board, overseeing common areas, finances, and governance under Alberta’s Condominium Property Act. A Property Manager typically works on behalf of an individual landlord or investor, managing a rental unit or building under Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act.

Some managers hold both licenses, which is particularly valuable in Calgary’s rental market where investor-owned units within condo buildings require both roles to work in tandem. Our team includes managers licensed across both roles.

Start by checking your existing management agreement for notice period requirements. Once you provide written notice to your current management, our transitions team takes over. They take over the entire handover process including records collection, vendor continuity, financial account setup, and Owner onboarding – so your Board has very little to manage. Most transitions are completed within four to six weeks with no disruption to day-to-day operations.

Rental management fees in Calgary are typically calculated as a percentage of monthly rent collected. The rate depends on the number of units, property type, and services included. Services generally cover tenant placement, lease administration, rent collection, maintenance coordination, and compliance with Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act. We provide customised proposals based on your portfolio and needs.

A Rental Property Manager takes the day-to-day work of running an investment property off your plate. That means finding and placing tenants, preparing leases, collecting rent, coordinating maintenance, and keeping everything compliant with Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act. If you own a unit inside a condo building, your  Rental Property Manager also handles the overlap between tenancy law, and condo bylaws, which can get complicated quickly in Calgary’s rental market. We’re here to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.

Look for a company with real experience managing buildings like yours, whether that’s a high-rise, a low-rise, or a townhouse complex. Ask about how they communicate, how they report on finances, what technology they use, and how they handle after-hours support and response times. It’s always worth asking for local references and finding out how they manage transitions. The right partner will be upfront about fees, clear about what’s included, and happy to show you how they’ve helped communities like yours here in Calgary.
