Does putting my properties in a holding company pay less tax on rent?

Often, yes. When the property is in your name, the rent goes on your personal tax return and can fall into the highest income tax bracket. In a holding company, that same rent is usually taxed under the company's rules, which can be cheaper. The savings depend on the amount of rent and the tax regime you choose. The rules are changing with the tax reform, so we can't nail down a number here. Confirm the current amount with a TF Assessor accountant, who will run the right calculation for your case.
