This will be the last posting for a rental that I will do. Retirement is around the corner. I am posting but I will not be the owner when you move in.
A bachelor is coming up for April 1 at 845 Princess. It is a bit unusual as it has an inside entrance and an outside entrance. Pets are welcome with a good pet owner.
Descent kitchen with 24 inch appliances. Bathroom has only a shower stall but there is access to tubs on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Large closet with ample storage.
$1,150 plus you pay your own hydro as it is on a separate meter.

I was telling a guy working at Cameron that I recently hosted four other couples that I was acquainted with through a program I attend with my husband.
I found out that all four had suites that they were keeping vacant because of the difficulties that they had with bad tenancies. The guy's response was that his family also had a vacant suite. I thought this was interesting.
I really wonder how much our current government and their Residential Tenancy Act is playing a role in the housing shortage. The Act seems very punitive to Landlords and next to zero consequences for scheming, cheating residents. The mom and pop landlords are being driven out so you are left with the big REIT guys. If you don't know what that means, ask.
Good luck.

I have a room at Princess! $900 for a room with a private kitchen. Shared 3 bathrooms between seven other great residents. Pets are welcome with good pet owners. If it is on the market for more than a day, I will try and get some updated photos. Otherwise this is what I have - old pictures.

Taken from a post on FB.
As homeowners we need to make sure our property insurance will cover us, especially for liability insurance. Nobody wants to get sued because their tenant broke a law, someone got injured, and insurance wouldn't pay up.
Asking questions in these groups is part of doing due diligence as a landlord; save your opinions for other groups or take a break from social media.
Know that if your insurance provider becomes aware of a dog with bite history they WILL NOT COVER YOU. Likewise, a dog that is not listed on your policy (even a tenants) will not be covered for liability insurance. Be very careful when having conversations with them. I suggest using "theoretical" terms...ask IF my tenant acquired a dangerous breed dog would I be covered? And IF the dog was lose/not muzzled on my property would I be covered? If the answer is no and your tenant is not willing to carry their own liability insurance then you should warn them about eviction for breaking bylaws.

The "Tenant's Bill of Rights" will mean that there will be an open conduit from landlords to the Federal Government. I don't know how this will work or when it will be implemented. The purpose is to give people who rent a property an evaluation on their credit score. Could be a good thing or this could be a bad thing.

The Underused Housing Tax Return and Election Form was sent to me by our accountant. The accountant said "Please do it immediately as the deadline is Oct 31st with a $5000 penalty per owner and per property. I can do the forms for a cost starting at $500 plus tax if that is easier for you." Just another added cost. Wow. Making it harder and harder to stick with affordable housing.

I am going to share a story that Sharon told me because of an article I read in the Saanich news, titled "Ad seeking tenant to rent 'half' of a master bedroom."
In 1956, when Sharon left home she rented a shared situation in a house. Not only did she share a room with a girl she didn't know but she shared the same bed. Our expectation that you could have everything when you move from home is, well, entitled. I don't think there is anything wrong with sharing a room if that is just where you come to sleep, rest or study. Lots of people are here to work, go to school, save money however they can so that they can one day afford a home of their own.

Here is my story about Penny Stone and the SPCA. This is why I don’t support the SPCA or the Humane Society of Victoria where she now works.
There was a resident who lived on Princess Ave. He had lived in my rental property for a long time. He had a beautiful Rottweiler named Hera.
Hera was very well trained. She didn’t bark in the building or on the street. She was friendly to other dogs and people. Hera was calm and when she saw other dogs fighting, she just kept to herself, right beside her owner. She followed all the usual commands perfectly, sit, stay, come, etc. Hera was the best trained dog.
She got an infection in a dew claw. Her owner booked an appointment with a vet at the Elk Lake Veterinary Hospital. I drove them and paid for the surgery on a loan.
When we went back to pick up the dog the vet said that it looked like the un-spayed dog was developing Pyometra. (It is an infection in the womb that happens to dogs after their heat cycle.)
My resident was on a disability pension, and they said that it was going to be an expensive surgery. He wanted a second opinion. I suggested that he call around and see if he could find funding.
The call to SPCA was terrifying in the end. Penny Stone told him that he had to surrender the dog. She told him that if he didn’t surrender the dog voluntarily that she was coming over with the police.
Dealing with the police is super frightening to some people. No one who has ever had dealings with the police is happy about it.
The resident couldn’t reach me in time. Penny Stone immediately took the eight-year-old Rottweiler away from my resident. Hera had been well raised and cared for. Arrangements could have been made to give Hera the surgery that she needed without the SPCA abducting her from her rightful owner.
Penny Stone’s draconian methods were over the top cruel and unwarranted and were not well intentioned.

Unit number 5 is coming up July 2023 on the second floor of 845 Princess. A housekeeping suite is a bedroom with a private kitchen and shared bathroom. Though you may be sharing the bathroom with your neighbours, you won't be sharing the rent or the contents of your fridge.
The suite may need some work as it has been occupied for the last six years. If that is the case, the new resident would have to wait a little while during the repainting. My only pictures are thirteen years old so they are not really relevant anymore.
The rent is $850 per month. Heat, hydro and hotwater are included. Coin op laundry and bicycle parking in the basement. Non-smoking building, walking distance to town. Good pet owners are welcome to bring their pets.

When you refer a person to me, you put your good name and good history on the line. Would you trust that person to be as careful with your reputation?

Insurance is very important when you are renting a property. You will be held accountable for any damage even if it is an accident. Something like this could ruin your life plans.

A Vancouver renter's negligence led to the 2017 fire that damaged her apartment and several others, a B.C. Supreme Court judge has ruled.
