Investors and condo boards that have put aside our recommended three-months operating cash savings should be able to […]

Why are Alberta Condominium Corporation Insurance Premiums Increasing?

In early March, we invited our condo boards in Calgary to come out and hear the latest on insurance renewals.

Alberta Courts Rule Against AirBnB & VRBO Short-Term Rentals in Condominiums

Resident Retention and Your Bottom Line

There’s something we must admit: renting a condo unit is much different than actually Retaining the residents. It can be one of the most challenging aspects of rental property management.
