Sharon Logan's Property Rentals

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.

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.

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?
