Blue Sky was in reality Charles Stultz who worked for Bert and was a leasing agent for Ocean Point.

So we had a non-paying tenant whose lease wasn't renewed and refused to leave.

I wish i could had my other deals like that.Today my portfolio is:- T2 apartment mortgage free- T1 apartment with 60% LTV mortgage (variable rate with UCI)- T3 apartment with 60% LTV mortgage (the one described above)- 2 stores leasing from CGD That's very good.

Do you have tips for structuring short-term leases that protect me as a landlord while accommodating their needs?

I weigh more on making 3x rent and having great rental history of on time payments with no evictions, no lease violations or violent criminal history.

It's difficult to see how a tenant will be after screened and signing a lease.

Many times they will hold back the renovation costs in escrow and release once you’ve shown the renovated unit and leased it.  

That didn't help so now I'm looking to charge the late fee and interest as allowed by my lease.

This happens 100% of the time a squatter presents a fake lease, deed or bill of sale.2) It takes several hours, if not days, and multiple calls for the police to show up.3) Even when they do show up and remove the squatters, the squatters sometimes break back in the same night.

New tenant must go through complete vetting, sign the lease, pay security deposit and rent, and move in, prior to the referring tenant getting their $100.
