Leadership & Vision
Led by Mark Knodell, Bedford Living brings a disciplined, long‑term perspective to Ontario’s rental housing market. Our focus is on maintaining safe, well‑run buildings and creating environments where residents feel at home, not just housed.
By investing steadily in properties in Belleville, Brantford, and other growing communities, we aim to keep each Bedford building in strong condition while supporting the neighbourhoods around it.
Trusted Property Management Across Ontario
Mark Knodell’s approach to property management is grounded in the idea that rental housing is a community service as well as a business. Through Bedford Living and Bedford Properties, he focuses on keeping buildings in good repair, communicating clearly with tenants, and planning upgrades that support long‑term residents.
With on‑the‑ground teams across Southern Ontario, Bedford Living works to ensure each residential building meets consistent standards for safety, cleanliness, and durability. Our strategy emphasizes “future‑ready” housing by combining practical maintenance schedules with targeted improvements to building systems, shared areas, and suites.

Our Values
Commitment to Quality & Community
Four pillars that define the Bedford Living experience and guide how Mark Knodell and his team operate every day.
Ethical Property Management
Transparent lease agreements, clear communication, and fair practices are the baseline of our operational integrity.
Tenant‑First Approach
From straightforward move‑in information to prompt responses on maintenance requests, we work to make it easy for residents to understand what to expect and to get help when they need it.
Community Involvement
Bedford supports local initiatives and organizations in the cities where our residents live, with a focus on housing, mental health, and community well‑being.
Long‑term Investment Mindset
We plan for decades, not just the next lease cycle. Ongoing capital improvements and regular upkeep help protect both building condition and residents’ quality of life.
