All good suggestions, and I'm also assuming a property inspection was completed when you sold the property? I'd use that as well, but I don't see how they can actually force you to pay anything. She's not your issue anymore!

Redline is pretty active on here and they're 1 to check out. Mountain Park is another that I've heard decent things about.

I see on a couple of boards, and they can do this sort of thing. I can't remember exactly, but there is a clause bylaws that allows boards to deal with tenants, parking, ammenity rooms, etc as they see fit. The flip side is if you push back against the board, you might find they buckle...

I truthfully find this an interesting discussion, but not one I know a lot about. Do you have links? I'd like to read more about this.

Hi Ken, I use a company called Set Your Stage. Its only 250 for a general consultation, which will point out a few things you've likely overlooked. In terms of actually staging, its a good idea if your home is the type of home to get top dollar in an area. If its a little run down, get the...

Why do you need a property management company? It sounds like you go back there enough. If you get good tenants, you'll barely hear from them. Also, its a condo, so many issues that could arise are the responsibility of the corporation. I wouldn't spend 2500 bucks for no reason.

Hi Kenny, I'm a Realtor in Calgary and could help you get started. At the very least, I know a lot of good people out here. But you would need to come out at least once a year (though a flight to Calgary is cheaper than the land transfer tax grab). 403.990.1278 [email protected]

I have the same thoughts as the other posters. I'd give her the money back, esp. if she's been a good tenant. I doubt its that much and probably not worth it. And like the other people, I just charge higher rents for my properties that allow pets. Easy peasy.

Blowing my own horn is never as good as having someone do it for me, but I have plenty of experience working with investors (and non investors) finding suited properties in good areas. I have a full team of people needed to close a deal (mortgage broker, inspector, lawyer, trades) and really...

I agree with Brent. I sit on a condo board, and our principal problem is noise. We just start fining the units. Hit the owners where it hurts and watch what happens. You can complain to RECA. Its a painfull process though, even moreso because he's unlicensed. If he's not accepting trust...

Welist has their own brokerage as well and can list on MLS. I think its $200.

Rickson I don't know if its intentional, but you make me laugh. I like your advice too.

Just wondering how this went for you Michel? Or is it still happening?
