How do I find out the current delinquent status of unpaid rent or condo fees for my property? [VIDEO]

Even at the best of times, cash flow management is key to the success of any business and investment. During crises like COVID-19, it’s even more important to establish good cash flow practices. From Magnum York’s analysis, in the first two tough months of the pandemic crisis, we’ve experienced a less-than-expected slight increase in defaults for tenant rent and condo fee collections.

BFL Canada and Magnum York Insurance Seminar
29 Mar

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. The insurance industry worldwide has been reacting to a perfect storm of too much risk and too many claims; it’s made them unprofitable in their property insurance business. Thanks to our friends at BFL Canada for their research and partnership. For every $1 collected in premiums, insurance companies paid $1.67 in claims. Based on our partner BFL Canada’s data from […]

How does a Condominium Builder Transition Their Properties to the Condo Owners & Board?

Property Managers are vital partners for condo building developers.

This morphs into working together with the board on an ongoing basis to continue to maintain its brand new building and ensure proper corporate governance.

Compostable Organics: What your Condo Board Needs to Know

In the fall of 2016, the City of Calgary announced the implementation of an expanded recycling bylaw which will affect all multi-family residences in the city.

It’s easy to blindly roll along without giving a […]

What No One Tells You About Condo Insurance

Insurance is one of those things that most people take for granted. As long as we know it’s there then it is bound to save whatever it is that we are paying for.

Knowing what that insurance includes, and perhaps more importantly, what it doesn’t will […]
