    Top 5 LEAST Landlord-Friendly Locations in Canada and Why with Dr. Jennifer Salisbury

    Today’s podcast explores the most challenging places in Canada for landlords to own rental properties, calling them “landlord-unfriendly” due to strict tenant protections, rent controls, and complex procedures. She explains that these regions favor tenants through detailed regulations on rent increases, evictions, deposits, and inspections, which can make it hard for landlords to maintain profitability. The top five provinces she highlights—Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, Quebec, British Columbia, and Ontario—each impose unique restrictions that slow evictions, cap rent growth, and limit fee flexibility. Despite these hurdles, Dr. Jen notes that successful landlords in these areas adapt by staying compliant, maintaining properties diligently, and building good tenant relationships. She closes by urging landlords to stay informed about changing tenancy laws or to work with legal and property management experts to manage risks effectively. 👋 COME SAY HI!

    REPLAY - Checkers vs. Chess The REAL Real Estate Game with Freddie Rappina

    When Enough Is Enough: My First Eviction in 6 years, Part 2 with Dr. Jennifer Salisbury

    This follow-up episode continues the landlord’s firsthand account of a drawn-out eviction in British Columbia that nearly spiraled into a six‑month nightmare. What begins as a quiet tenancy unravels after unauthorized pets and additional occupants move in, leading to legal notices, hearings, and mounting frustration. The host walks listeners through every step — from warning letters and Residential Tenancy Branch disputes to the looming possibility of a Supreme Court enforcement and bailiff intervention. In a twist, the story reveals how due diligence, proper documentation, and patience ultimately led to a peaceful resolution: the tenant left voluntarily, leaving only minor damage behind. The episode closes on a reflective note about professionalism, persistence, and the reality that in property management, prevention and process are everything. 👋 COME SAY HI!

    REPLAY - A Case Study from a BC Landlord

    Today's episode is a bit different.  I am interviewing a landlord with one rental from British Columbia, who just had a nightmare tenant.  Very quickly things went sideways, resulting in warning letters, some unit damage, and non-payment of rent.  Things could have been much worse, but we learn about the mistakes made along the way, the decision to hire a property manager local to the rental, and the use of AI helping in writing the warning letters.  Join me in today's first case study on My Life As A Landlord! 👋 COME SAY HI!
