Our policy for any property under management has been and will always be “Would you allow your family to live in the property?”.  It might sound simple but we turn down a lot of properties when the owner isn’t willing to fix up the property to this basic standard.

Recently we came across a formal set of standards that support our rule.  The standards are from Alberta Health.

Though these standards seem very basic for most of our owners, there are some (more then I was expecting) owners out there that are trying to save so much money that they are putting their tenants in danger.

If any owner is unsure how to meet these minimum housing standards, Magnum would be happy to work with any owner to upgrade their property to these standards.
