Have you ever wondered how you could own something that somebody else can wreck? There's 3 really good ways to do this:
- Have kids
- Have pets
-
Become a landlord
If you or anyone you know wants more information about being a landlord in Edmonton there's only one place to go. No not here. The landlord and tenant advisory board has put together a course for people who are interested in or already own property for the purposes of renting in Edmonton.
It's called the "How to own something and have no rights" course. I'm kidding. It's the "2009 Landlord course" and apparently there is information on identifying problem situations, like the old "the cheque is in the mail" which really means "I've got a get out of rent free card," or finding options to solving difficult situations, like when your lease says no pets and you show up for your first inspection and they have a lion in the living room. It will also help you prevent or reduce disputes.
The available dates are September 10,17, and 24th or November 12, 19 or the 26. You can contact them (The Landlord and Tenant Advisory Board at 780 496 5959) to register or go to their website.

Well that sounds like a good idea. At $100 it’s not a bad price either. Really too bad about the 3 Thursday mornings from 9-12
That’s time I can’t get off work for that. They did ask if I wanted to put my name on a list for evening/weeekend stuff if they ever create such a course.
I wish there was a group where landlords could go after inspections and moveouts to decompress. Our last one was a doozy it wasn’t a Lion it was a bird breeding operation!
