Hello All, I own a couple units on a street in Victoria a ten or fifteen minute walk from the core. 100 meters down on the opposite side of the street from my units, the city is putting in a building complex of relatively "low cost" housing to off set the housing shortage. I am considering...

I have a one bedroom rental unit. It seems a lot of renters are not trustworthy. Current renters claimed not to be smokers but that's not the case as I saw him smoke outside. It also seems one of them is smoking in the unit to one degree or another. Odour treatment is only about $500. I wounder...

Hi there, I am renting out two rooms in my house and they share a bathroom and kitchen with me so do not fall under the RTA. Does anyone know the law/s that apply? Is there a guide on these laws that describes damage deposit, notice of entry for inspection, and other issues? One issue is they...

Thank you for the encouragement. Really appreciate it. You know, back in 2007 the year my son was born, I bought the Acre system book and planned out my personal Belize for my family and myself. Ten years later after moving across the country, a dream come true, I happened to open that book...

Thank you. Really great help. Back later...

Thanks for all your answers. This is a lease unfortunately. The tenant has another ten months. Of course I'd like them out, but that might be more trouble than worth. It seems like friends living with her. I got a very rude message citing the landlord tenancy act saying that I did not even...

Hi folks, As a new landlord I'd like to ask a question. A tenant in my suite is flagrantly violating the tenancy agreement and having people overnight at least several nights a week that I know of, and probably more. The rent is high in this city and quite possibly they are paying her or a...

I've decided to rent out a couple rooms to ESL students. My understanding is the landlord can ask people to leave anytime, which reasonably would be a couple weeks notice, if there is a problem. I might not bother with reference checks. Any advice?

A few questions.... Why would rents be driven by interest rates and credit availability? The 11% increase in housing supply will have an affect. It's also right next door from where I rent out now. BUT, there are too many factors in the mix to predict, in my opinion. The Green/NDP plans for...
