Occasionally a tenant has done some significant damage, but so far nothing that was insurmountable.We put an emphasis on offering good rental units (B & C), maintaining them well, establishing keen rental criteria, thorough tenant screening, a strong rental agreement, clearly discussing every aspect of the rental agreement with the tenant before we hand over the keys, establishing and maintaining good relationships with tenants, good relationships with neighbors who will alert us as needed, a good relationship with local law enforcement, regular property inspections, swift follow-up to rental agreement violations, sufficient insurance and a sufficient reserve fund.We stand behind our mission statement: "We strive to provide safe, clean, affordable, comfortable, and quiet housing for responsible renters in the neighborhoods of West Vancouver."
