David P. Brant - Brant Law

Perspective is everything. A hurdle is often just a stepping stone in disguise. Wishing everyone a productive, stress-free Monday!

Think a seller has to fix everything your inspector finds? In Alberta, "Buyer Beware" is the law of the land. Sellers only must disclose hidden, dangerous defects—anything visible (like an old roof) is purely a matter of negotiation. Don't let a bad assumption break your deal!

Historically, in Fort Saskatchewan, any cat caught without a bell around its neck was legally considered an "enemy of the songbirds"? While modern bylaw language has shifted, the sentiment remains in many municipalities where cats must be tethered or "contained" to prevent them from hunting wildlife. Of course, any gardener will tell you they also qualify as "enemies of the flowerbeds"—because apparently, nothing screams "perfect litter box" quite like freshly planted petunias! 😆
