Once it's bullet proofed and rented, I rinse and repeat with the second lowest rent until I'm done. 

In September my daily routine consisted of working 10 hour days knee-deep in mud, laying water and sewer pipe (the only plus side was that I had a lot of time to listen to the bigger pockets podcast), and dealing with people who drained my energy. 

We completely transformed the interior and exterior of the home, adding features like tile backsplash, tiled tub & shower, master bath en suite with dual walk-in shower, new energy-efficient vinyl windows.

You want the tenant to invest their time and energy into an application for a property they haven't even seen.

A lot of people mistakenly believe that turning that system off when they leave the house is the most energy efficient. 

If this craziness keeps up you may want to consider biting the bullet and simply selling the triplex while prices are still going up......DO NOT tell prospective buyers you are selling the property because of the problem tenant. 

The Canadian government is really pushing hard to move to clean energy and is really making it hard for players like Transalta to keep their coal plants in business.

Bite the bullet and go ceramic tile. 2x2 with small grout lines.

(b) By September 30 of each year, a landlord of a single-metered residential building who bills for gas and electric utility charges separate from rent must inform tenants in writing of the possible availability of energy assistance from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

It's an older character home, semi-detached style, and a lot of great features - high ceilings, crown moulding, and a lot of upgrades (roof, both furnaces, all wiring, and insulation under the energy rebate a few year ago).
