Dealing with a Problem Tenant
Buy-to-let has been a very difficult business model over recent times. The credit crunch combined with the crash of property prices has put many buy-to-let landlords in difficult positions. The last thing any landlord wants is a problem tenant, but as everything else in the economy becomes more difficult, the number of problem tenants has also risen.
This is not always their fault. In many instances they are victims of the same economic factors that are affecting their landlords. A tenant may be the best tenant in the world under normal circumstances. They have always paid their rent on time, they have taken care of the house and have tended to the garden. In fact they were such model tenants that when they wanted to increase the time scale of the tenancy agreement, you were more than happy to oblige.
Then suddenly everything changed. The rent payments were progressively later, initially a week, then two, then a month. Your management company informed you that the tenant had been made redundant and was now dependent on the DSS for paying the rent. Of course you are sympathetic, but this is a business arrangement and things have suddenly taken a significant turn for the worse, particularly as you have now decided that you need to sell the property.
Once the DSS are involved in paying the rent, it is extremely difficult to persuade assured shorthold tenants to leave even when the tenancy agreement has expired. Even after you have issued a two month notice for them to leave, in many instances the DSS are unlikely to cooperate. It might be necessary for you to obtain an eviction notice from the court before the DSS is willing to re-house them, and this can be very time consuming and expensive.
In these circumstances it might be worth considering selling the property with the problem tenant in situ. Of course it would be just about impossible to do this on the open market, but there are a number of companies that make a business out of just this kind of purchase such as swift capital. Naturally they discount the purchase price by about 25% of that of a similar property with vacant possession, but this could be your best choice.

It is so nice to be the owner of a house. People who have Okanagan valley real estate in their property know how nice it is to come home after a hard day’s work and relax there. Our homes fill us up with additional energy. But in some countries it can be very problematic to buy a flat or a house.

The situation there is just horrible. Many people who work hard and earn money can’t afford buying a flat because the prices are too high. What is more, citizens of other countries can buy property cheaper! Authorities say that it is possible to get a flat from the government. Yes it is, but people have to wait for about 20 years to get one! And it gets even worse when they understand that after 20 years of waiting government can give them a flat with only one room. For the whole family!

Many of folks described above don’t know how fine it is to come back from work to your own flat or house. And this is a very good lesson for everybody who have or will buy homes in Kelowna. Value this property and let us hope that people all over the world will be able to buy something like that one day.

loft-torontoSometimes it is not easy to find a house or a flat in the area where you know no one, where you are absolutely a stranger. What to do in such a case? Usually people address a real-estate agency, a company that will do anything just to please you. They will find you a house, a condo where you can not just relax but live a full life especially if you are moving to this region and you will stay there for a considerable period. Anyway, besides rentals any real-estate agency will offer you condos like this king west condo and homes to buy in this or that area. If we take, for instance, a Toronto home, we will see that they are not too expensive but very convenient.

Tip Top Lofts located not far away from the lake and Coronation park. This place is very good for those who want to find some friends and live in a peaceful area. There are many opportunities for traveling too. It is possible to take a ferry and spend a kind of mini-vacation on the Island.
