Landlords Across Alberta Need The Legal System Up & Running
Small landlords are different than big REIT corporate landlords. Many of us used to rent ourselves, or we have friends and family members who rent.
We are understanding and helpful. We are patient and kind to our tenants. We want to work things out for a win-win situation. We aren’t afraid of posts on this site to help tenants.
We also need rent to be paid on time in order to survive!
Small landlords don’t have economies of scale, don’t have huge cash reserves, and many need rent paid each month just to cover our costs.
A large number of tenants are co-operating with their landlords and deferring rent or creating payment plans.
However, many tenants are not paying rent or even a portion of rent.
Many tenants even with the means to pay are simply saying “No.”
They know they cannot be evicted and are ‘gaming’ the system by not paying when they can.
In our internal polling over 60% of tenants did not pay rent on May 1st.
WE NEED RENT TO BE PAID OR NON-PAYING TENANTS TO BE EVICTED!
We understand many tenants are facing financial difficulties. But do not put their financial problems on the backs of small residential landlords who are also suffering.
If you think this is cruel then government can just give the tenants a grant or a loan, instead of putting all the pressure on small landlords.
We need to open up the legal process and allow small landlords to evict non-paying renters.
Over 50% of our internal polling shows small landlords are going to sell if they cannot collect rent or evict non-paying tenants within the next couple of months.
This will hurt the entire rental stock of our province. Where is the long term planning by our government leaders…leaders who our members help get elected on their promise of “making Alberta open for business!” LOL!
