Safeguard Property Management & Services Inc. - Kentville, Nova Scotia

Safeguard has been a 10/10 property management company for me. I've lived in apartments all across the country and no one else has been so good and fair; they right any wrongs and do what they can to help (in my experience). They answer emails quickly, take care of maintenance requests in a timely manner and ensure I feel safe and comfortable where I live. I love my apartment.

Being from out of province, I found the process of renting an apartment in Nova Scotia to be a bit daunting, harsh and uninviting. That was until we found an ideal rental with Safeguard Property Management. I can not praise them enough for the level of professionalism and care they use when handling rental properties. Candis and her team have been an absolute delight to interact with. I always received prompt responses to any inquiries and a quick resolve whenever we came across an issue in the suite. Candis took the time to listen and work with me and that is a rarity in her profession. I was always greeted with a friendly 'hello' and cheery disposition whenever I called.

Recently, my family and I had to unexpectedly vacate our rental due to family illness abroad. Candis handled our situation with the utmost care and compassion. We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. I 100% recommend renting a property with and from Safeguard as they are a gem in the Annapolis Valley!

I did rent from Safeguard and I never had any issues with them. When I had a issue in my apartment and something needed to be fixed it was done asap, would I rent from Safeguard again of course I would, the owners at Safe Guard are amazing.

We have been renting for 4 years now from Safeguard. At the beginning there was some pump issues, and some problems with our garage door (no big deal). They responded quickly and we pay a fair rent. We have different property managers every year but they are all good. Nikki was ours over covid and she was awesome and extremely personable. I met Paul once, he tried to fix my doorbell on the spot (there was some damage to the wires?) And he reminded me we pay for more than just rent, to call any time. Our maintenance guy lives down the road, also a super nice guy.

I have been a tenant with Safeguard for 3 months now and I was impressed with how professional and friendly the staff is. The move in went smoothly. When we viewed the property, there were some little things that needed to be fixed. These were done before we moved in.

Safeguard is by far the worst property management company ever. They send a property manager who has never been in the house to do exit walk through.
Said manager knows nothing of property, along with original owners who have not been in house in the 3 years I’ve rented from them.
So basically pointless when pointing out any issues that they claim to have happened when I lived there.
I had to take them to tenancy board for failing to fulfill their duties on a fixed term lease. I won, currently waiting for small claims for failing to fix the heat issue. No doubt I’ll win now as I have more evidence that it was impossible to keep the house warm, despite the $200 reduction in rent over 3 winter months to “offset” heat. Laughable.
Safeguard does not maintain or do upkeep of the house, until you say there is an issue and only then its about 25% of the time it’s actually fixed. I waited over a year for a new fridge as it kept freezing my food! I also went through 3 property managers in 2 months. But it’s my fault that things aren’t done, not that communication slipped on their end.
Anyways I’m taking them back to tenancy board for claiming “damages”.
Oh they also won’t work with you on your walk out inspection, in March. Property manager was sick, then back to back snow days, but they did the walk through without me, didn’t offer another day.
If you want long term renters, don’t use safeguard as your management company. They can handle garbage, because that’s how they manage and treat people, like garbage.

I have rented from Safeguard for 6 years now in 2 different buildings. My service from them has always been top notch. Friendly and professional staff and if you are a good tenant they treat you right. I would highly recommend them.
