    REPLAY - The OTHER Salisbury with Michael Salisbury

    Since the start of My Life As A Landlord, there has been another silent contributor, secretly working in the background.  He is a visionary, a doer, and one of the most creative people I have ever known.  He literally can build a house from dirt to giving you the keys, including the framing, tile, granite, and concrete sidewalks.  He is also a bit of rebel cowboy who does not always want to follow the rules, but that makes for a very interesting podcast episode.  Joining me today is Michael Salisbury! 👋 COME SAY HI!Visit my website: ⁠https://www.mylifeasalandlord.com/⁠Join the Facebook community: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/mylifeasalandlord⁠ ☕️ Are you loving the show?

    Most Landlord-Friendly Locations in Canada and Why with Dr. Jennifer Salisbury

    This episode explores which parts of Canada are most favorable to landlords and why. It highlights Alberta and Saskatchewan for their flexible rent rules, clearer eviction processes, and generally business‑friendly rental environments. New Brunswick and Manitoba are presented as more affordable markets with relatively straightforward regulations and workable rent and dispute systems. Ontario is included not for lenient rules, but for its huge, resilient rental market and long‑term appreciation potential despite strong tenant protections. The host emphasizes that each province suits different investor goals and encourages listeners to research local tenancy laws and market fundamentals before buying.  This episode is a dedicated show for the Podcast-A-Thon airing between March 14 and 20, 2026. 👋 COME SAY HI!

    LEAST Landlord-Friendly Locations in the US and Why with Dr. Jennifer Salisbury

    This episode defines “landlord unfriendly” markets as those with strict rent control, slow and tenant‑favoring evictions, tight rules on deposits and late fees, and heavy licensing and inspection requirements, all layered on top of high taxes, insurance, and operating costs. It then spotlights five especially difficult U.S. states for landlords—Massachusetts, Washington, Oregon, New York, and California—explaining how each combines aggressive tenant protections, detailed procedural rules, and long timelines that increase risk and reduce flexibility. Hawaii and New Jersey are added as honorable mentions, where high property taxes, strict security‑deposit laws, strong habitability standards, and formal, slow eviction processes demand professional‑level systems and reserves. The host emphasizes that what unites all these markets is a strong policy focus on tenant protection and housing affordability, which can help renters in the short term but also discourage investment and constrain supply, potentially pushing rents higher. The episode closes by stressing that successful landlords in these tough jurisdictions stay highly informed, compliant, and patient, and urges listeners everywhere to keep up with changing tenancy laws or hire local professionals while tuning in to future episodes in the series on the most and least landlord‑friendly locations. 👋 COME SAY HI!

    REPLAY - The ABCs of ESAs with Returning Guest Krista Reuther

    In the United States, there are three types of “animals” that a tenant can have:  a pet, a service animal, and an emotional support animal.  But each one is defined differently, each one may or may not have additional rent, a damage deposit, or require verification as a tenant applies for one of your units.  Additionally, a landlord may have some questions about what “reasonable accommodation” regarding that animal.  Where do we start?  Krista Reuther returns to My Life As A Landlord, to help us figure out the ABCs of ESAs.  👋 COME SAY HI!

    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!
