One of the questions is how long do sex offences disqualify an applicant.

In reality, we've only requested one on three occasions and in two instances the applicant recused himself.When the applicant requests a criminal background check and authorizes the results to be disclosed to the landlord, you are not going to get a copy of the search results ... most probably, you will receive a call from the police agency who will vaguely tell you whether the individual has a criminal record; whether there are open matters and perhaps the general nature of the offences (theft, capital, misdemeanour, etc).  

Reason was because part of fence was down.

Hi Colleen, there are a lot of fence companies out there that do this kind of work.

No offence to anyone out there, but my experience with developers is that they are money hungry people and will step on and trash anyone to make that dollar.

We will occasionally give a written warning on the first offence (usually with inherited tenants where the previous landlord didn't have a ban or didn't enforce one).

@John DelacruzNo offence to @Joshua Hollandsworth, but you can ignore his mortgage advice as it is not applicable in your situation.In Canada, you may qualify for a CMHC high-ratio mortgage as a first time homeowner which would enable you to make a downpayment of only 5%.To decide between a fixed-rate or closed {aka fixed-term) variable-rate mortgage on a personal residence, it comes down to what are your objectives and your ability to deal with financial change.  

Typically we wait to install them as they do tend to walk off the jobsites regardless of fences or locks. 

It is not the fencing itself--keeping cattle in or trespassers out, but the IDEA of fencing.

Yup, born into the glamorous world of fence repairs, emptying out refrigerators, changing locks, and lots of painting.
