Jon Klaus Christmas gifts for tenants

I have not done it.I have too many tenants for that.Also different tenants have varying religious beliefs and some have no beliefs so I wouldn't want to get involved with that.In real estate when I first became an agent and a broker there were two hot buttons to always stay away from when doing deals RELIGION and POLITICS.My tenants would complain as well.I want to keep the relationship business.I fix the properties problems when the arise and believe it or not you are ahead of 80% of landlords if you do just that.Most won't fix things or get emotional over rent not being paid and get a handyman to screw stuff up trying to repair it.You can do a charity that is not tied to your business and give back that way.

Account Closed First Property in a tough market: Buying out of Country/Province?
25 October 2016 | 1 reply
Which happens to be province with laws that are absolutely terrible when it comes to landlording.For example:You cannot collect a security depositYou cannot ask for first and last months rent (although people do, i'm sure)Tenants can pay consistently late by up to 3 weeks and if you cannot prove to the court that their consistent lateness has not cause you financial harm, well too bad for you.You can't charge late feesEviction is almost impossible - even if they completely go against the lease i.e pets, airbnb the property when you forbid it, consistent late payments etc.The province really treats landlord like they are a charity and that people landlord out of the goodness of their hearts, when reality it is a business.So here is my question,Is it a good idea to invest in your first property out of the Country?
