a few cities have told me that it's illigal for landlords to shut off water in order to make tenants pay rent. i am assuming that they think of it as "inhumane" to have to live without water, i dont know. maybe that's why they can never turn the water off due to non payment.gas and electric is tied to SSN and it follows your credit. cities dont have the time to track your SSN (nor do i want them to for security reasons), hire lawyers to go to court, report to agencies... the cost is too high.

I had a discussion with a friend of mine yesterday about strategies to rent her new condo apartment.She's been told to put listing on kijiji and don't hire any Real Estate agent for helping her because even if she pays him/her there will be no guarantee of finding a good tenant.My thoughts are: to list it with Real Estate agent because promised commission (50% of monthly rent ) will motivate agents to bring clients; agent will show the property during business hours when she's at work; help with screening process and paperwork.Could you please advise which's a right solution? 

Maybe I will hire her friend (my favorite new word..friend) whom is the spouse of the Realtor (Whom has set up an LLC in a name without the Agents name on it) whom is doing the renovation work with me.  

I hired crews and went in full fledged and finished the rehab in 48 days.

The only time I need to hire a licensed person is when upgrading to a breaker box or doing structural work like adding a new floor beam.

Should I allow her to hire an inspection on the house?  

I am going to hire a "sign person" for my bandit signs. 

If not hire a plumber

R: "Do you think we hire average here?

If an injury occurs, then the person who hired the contractor is basically uninsured.
