No, another province.

We can't even collect last month or security deposit.We are the only province in Canada where a security deposit is illegal.

I'm looking at houses via FaceTime while my wife shows me properties, signing offers on my phone and still working 84 hour work weeks, driving across provinces  and playing landlord and contractor on the coast when I am not on shift. 

Seems that this is something more common south of the border than in the Belle Province.  

@Matt Rogers Depends which province you live in, here in Quebec definitely not.

Are you looking out of province or the states?

There are still plenty of solid opportunities out there, just would require a little bit more attention to detail.Let me know if you have any questions about the province, id be glad to help!

They come from another province.

This happened in BC Canada, I know it might be a bit different in other provinces and territories, but this seems like a contract law issue (ie. breach of contract).
