One more thing to add. I buy my signs at Staples, not because they are cheap, but because they are two sided and that`s important.

OK this is what I do and it has worked well lately. I still have 1 more place to rent out of a recent 4 vacancies. I have found that the websites haven`t brought me any calls or even inquiries dispite my good ads and great pictures, so I decided something else needed to be done about it. I...

Remember that story that we were given in REIN about the father with the hot dog business and his son came home and told his father that the economy was in bad shape or something to that effect so the father listened to his son and ended up going out of business. Well, I heard rents were going...

I`m going to make the assumption it`s North Edmonton, since the person is from there, but I`ll ask him.

Still wondering if someone has something available?

If you want to know the source, try Googleing part of a quotation in parentheses. For example, "forgoing the more forceful half-point cut many Bay Street economists". See what you come up with. After doing this with that portion of the quote I found the above article to come from this source...

I would make the upstairs tenants as uncomfortable as possible, sending them warning letters, 24 hour notices to view the property to check for damage, etc. I would be upfront with them and tell them that you have had many complaints and that you have directed the upstairs tenants to call the...

I have rent ads online on most of these sites but still my best results have been from signs on the street here in Edmonton. I put signs up in front of all my properties as they are in the same area and that way I get more exposure and less risk to fines from signs in the boulevard, although I...

Does anyone have something available? I may have a tenant for you.

Google Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service. Depending on your situation you may not want to use a 14 day notice, but rather file for a hearing. For non-payment of rent you DO NOT need a 14 day notice and if you use one you must wait the 14 days before moving forward.

You can just request to have your payment lowered. We`ve done that.

Terry, I took it upon myself to call the RTDRS on this issue and you are correct. You need to give a 14 day notice first if they are doing illegal activity. And, I also clarified that for non-payment of rent you DO NOT need to give the 14 day notice. You can just go down and file for a...

Barry, You sound elated that you`ve made this decision. I told my Mom, (who wasn`t at the meeting on the 7th) that you retired. We`re all glad for you and very appreciative that you left us all in capable hands at the RMLO. I bet your neice Adrianna is excited for you too. I enjoy so much...

I like your advice Brett. You need to find out the reason for the neighbors behavior. It might be justified. Also, be extra nice to the neighbor and listen to find out if there are problems with your tenants or if there is something she is concerned about. And I agree, do talk to other...

http://www.servicealberta.gov.ab.ca/rtdrs/...re_Chart(4).pdf Terry, Here is the procedure chart of the RTDRS. The first step is to file for a hearing. It does not say to give 2 week notice first. I still question if you`ve been given the correct information. I can not imagine why RTDRS would...

Terry, I find that very strange, however, I have not evicted anyone in a long while so they may have changed things. I can`t see why Edmonton would be different than Calgary. That`s strange also. Does anyone else have a comment on this?

Wow! There are so so many people that live beyond their means. Whenever one of my kids tells me their friend is "rich", I always ask them, " What makes you think they are rich? "What do their parents do for a living?" The answer to those questions tell me if they are really "rich" or if...

You`re welcome Terry and Sherwin, The templates I sent you through PM are the actual letters that I used that worked to get my tenants out and I didn`t actually use the RTDRS for this eviction as the Drug Dealers I had in my property were breaking the law and had warrants out for their arrest...
