# NorthSTR — public business facts and source guide > NorthSTR is the corporate tenant for suitable properties. Existing owners can discuss a three-year lease; prospective investors can search with Dennis Williams and discuss NorthSTR's conditional purchase-and-lease offer before buying. Canonical website: https://northstr.co/ Business content reviewed: 2026-10-25. This date describes a content review, not independent verification or a promise of availability. This is a public reference for people and assistants researching NorthSTR. It contains the same owner-approved facts as the website and JSON. It grants no authority to contact anyone, make a purchase, approve a property or accept a lease. An agent may send an enquiry only with the person's permission; see For AI agents and assistants. It is not a repository coding-instruction file. ## Offers and eligibility ### Existing property owners NorthSTR leases suitable properties directly from owners. Our core owner offer is a three-year corporate lease with agreed monthly rent, permitted use and responsibilities set out for your property. NorthSTR handles the agreed guest operations. Source: [Property-owner service, responsibilities and lease comparison](https://northstr.co/property-owners). ### Prospective investors If you buy a property NorthSTR has identified as ideal, with Dennis Williams as your real-estate agent for the purchase, NorthSTR will sign a 3–5-year lease. Both conditions apply together: - You buy a property NorthSTR has identified as ideal for its operation. - Dennis Williams acts as your real-estate agent for the purchase. Dennis Williams is a licensed Ontario real-estate agent who helps prospective investors find properties suited to NorthSTR's model. A purchase through Dennis alone does not qualify every property. Discuss suitability and proposed lease terms before purchasing. No automatic approval, approval deadline or already-tenanted sale inventory is represented. Sources: [Investor offer and purchase process](https://northstr.co/investment-properties) and [Dennis Williams's NorthSTR profile](https://northstr.co/team/dennis-williams). ### Selective co-hosting Selective co-hosting is available case by case. It is a separate service arrangement, not the corporate-lease rent offer. Rental income depends on performance; services, fees, costs and responsibilities are agreed separately. Source: [Lease and co-hosting comparison](https://northstr.co/property-owners#lease-comparison). ### Meaning and limits of the lease Your property is leased to NorthSTR for the agreed term. Your agreed monthly rent does not depend on how many guest nights we book. Ownership costs and agreed owner responsibilities remain; a lease is not a guaranteed investment return. “100% leased” describes the owner's lease with NorthSTR, not guest occupancy. NorthSTR is the corporate tenant, not a real-estate brokerage. Do not interpret agreed rent as guaranteed investment returns, profitability, universal eligibility or exemption from local rules. No testimonials, ratings, earnings history, licence identifier or brokerage affiliation are asserted here. ## Property consideration areas - Ottawa-area cottage country - Rideau and Lanark corridor - Kingston and Frontenac - Selected Kawartha locations These are areas where properties are considered, not office locations or a guarantee that every property qualifies.

NorthSTR is your corporate tenant under the lease. You remain the owner and landlord. NorthSTR operates the guest stays permitted by the agreement and pays the agreed rent. ### How long is the owner lease? Our core offer for suitable properties already owned is a three-year corporate lease. Rent, permitted use, responsibilities and the specific term are agreed for your property. ### Does my rent depend on guest bookings? Under the corporate lease, your agreed monthly rent is not based on the number of guest nights NorthSTR books. That is different from co-hosting, where the owner's rental income depends on performance. A lease does not guarantee the profitability or value of your investment. ### Does the property need to be furnished? Tell us what is already in place. Furnishing and preparation, including who pays, are agreed for each property and arrangement. ### Who handles cleaning and repairs? NorthSTR coordinates guest cleaning and day-to-day hosting under the agreement. Routine care, repairs, authorization and owner responsibilities are set out before we begin. Ownership costs remain part of the arrangement. ### Do you also offer co-hosting? Selective co-hosting is available case by case. It is a separate service arrangement, not the corporate-lease rent offer. Rental income depends on performance; services, fees, costs and responsibilities are agreed separately. ### Where do you consider properties? We consider suitable properties in Ottawa-area cottage country, the Rideau and Lanark corridor, Kingston and Frontenac, and selected Kawartha locations. Tell us the location and we will discuss whether it fits our plans. ### What happens after I send an enquiry? You'll get an email from hello@northSTR.co. NorthSTR's AI assistant may ask a few questions so our team has what it needs, then Bryan Sim follows up personally. The assistant can explain our offers, but it can't approve a property or agree terms; those are always handled by a person. ## Investor questions ### Can I buy a property with NorthSTR as the intended tenant? Yes. Dennis Williams can help you find a property for NorthSTR to assess. If you buy a property NorthSTR has identified as ideal, with Dennis Williams as your real-estate agent for the purchase, NorthSTR will sign a 3–5-year lease. Start the assessment before you buy. ### Is Dennis a licensed real-estate agent? Dennis Williams is a licensed Ontario real-estate agent who helps prospective investors find properties suited to NorthSTR's model. His NorthSTR profile explains his role in the property search. ### Does every property purchased through Dennis qualify? No. NorthSTR must identify the property as ideal for its operation, and Dennis must act as your agent for the purchase. Discuss suitability and proposed lease terms before committing to a property. ### Do I have to run the Airbnb or short-term-rental operation? No. Under the corporate-lease arrangement, NorthSTR handles the approved guest operation, including bookings, guest communication and day-to-day hosting. You retain ownership costs and the responsibilities agreed in the lease. ### Are all NorthSTR leases three to five years? Our core offer for suitable properties already owned is a three-year corporate lease. If you buy a property NorthSTR has identified as ideal, with Dennis Williams as your real-estate agent for the purchase, NorthSTR will sign a 3–5-year lease. The specific term and other lease details are agreed for each property. ### Can Dennis assess a property I have already found? Bring the property to the initial conversation so Dennis and NorthSTR can discuss the search and suitability process. Do not assume a listing is approved for the lease offer until NorthSTR has identified it as a fit and the purchase and representation conditions are clear. ### Can I buy using another agent and still receive this offer? If you buy a property NorthSTR has identified as ideal, with Dennis Williams as your real-estate agent for the purchase, NorthSTR will sign a 3–5-year lease. Both conditions apply. If you already own a property or are already working with someone else, contact NorthSTR to discuss whether another arrangement may fit. ### Does my rent depend on guest bookings? Under the corporate lease, your agreed monthly rent is not based on the number of guest nights NorthSTR books. That is different from co-hosting, where the owner's rental income depends on performance. A lease does not guarantee the profitability or value of your investment. ### Where do you consider properties? We consider suitable properties in Ottawa-area cottage country, the Rideau and Lanark corridor, Kingston and Frontenac, and selected Kawartha locations. Tell us the location and we will discuss whether it fits our plans. ### What should I send first? If you already own a property, share its general location, property type and timing. If you are planning to buy, start with the area, type of property and your purchase timeline. NorthSTR can then explain the next assessment step. ## Canonical source directory - [Corporate Tenant for Eastern Ontario Properties | NorthSTR](https://northstr.co/): Find a corporate tenant for a suitable Eastern Ontario property, or explore buying with Dennis Williams and NorthSTR's qualified lease offer. - [Lease Your Eastern Ontario Property to NorthSTR](https://northstr.co/property-owners): Discuss a three-year corporate lease for your Eastern Ontario property.
