Why? Because it's the date of ROMS BC's Associate Members Trade Show, Annual General Meeting, and [the first ever] Trivia Night! Once again being held at the beautiful Crystal Garden in downtown Victoria, BC.
From 4:00 until 6:00, join us for our formal Associate members trade show. Nearly 30 exhibitors will be excited to tell you about new products and incentives. In addition, there are multiple Associate member product demonstrations and informative workshops. This portion of the event is free to attend for ROMS BC members and their guests.
At 6:30, we will have a gourmet dinner catered by the Fairmont Empress Hotel. This will be followed by our [brief!] Annual General Meeting. The early bird registration cost to attend dinner and the evening that follows is $54.95 per person for ROMS BC members and their guests.
Beginning at 8:00 will be Trivia Night. Replacing the Casino Night of the past three years, Trivia Night gives you the opportunity to reconnect with Associate members - while having a great time! Each booth will have questions from one of seven categories; geography, entertainment, history, arts and literature, science and nature, sports and leisure, or BC's residential rental industry. Each question will be timed, and in order to fill all the pieces of your "cake," you'll need to visit every booth. And if you get the answer correct at any booth, you'll win ROMS BUCKS!
At 9:45, Trivia Night will be over. At this point, all members and their guests will come down to the prize auction, where ROMS BUCKS are used to "purchase" fabulous prizes. And if you don't win any ROMS BUCKS? No worries; there will also be door prize draws.
If this sounds like your kind of evening, watch your mailbox and inbox for more information!

My renter was locked into a fixed lease until next may, but didn't pay rent for september. I have served a 10 day notice on him that is up tomorrow. If he doesn't leave, what are my options? Should I try to negotiate with him to keep him? he seems like a nice guy- If he does leave, can I still collect back rent or once I end the tenancy is that it? Please help!
ReplyDeleteAs far as we see it, you have two options; you have him leave, or you allow him to stay if he can pay. If you allow him to stay, however, beware; if he let it get this far once, there's a chance this could happen again. If you're coming up on day 10 and he hasn't disputed the notice, has made no attempt to pay and looks as though he isn't going to move, it would probably be best to apply for a Direct Request order of possession. (And yes; you can apply for a monetary order for rent at the same time.)
ReplyDeleteHe has indicated that he is going to move. I told him that he has an obligation to pay through to the end of the contract, but he said that since it was not signed in the presence of his lawyer, he is not bound by it. I have looked at the RTE-15 form, and was curious of the legality of it. Do I have any recourse on the rest of the rent?
ReplyDeleteTake comfort in knowing that lawyer comment is out-to-lunch; if you signed it, you signed it - whether your lawyer was there or not, it's a legal, binding document.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm not sure what you are referring to, but there's no such form as RTB-15. If you are referring to the Tenancy Agreement (RTB-1), it is perfectly legal, and if you are referring to the 10 Day Notice to End Tenancy (RTB-30), it too is 100% enforceable.
YOU GUYS ROCK! consider yourselves having enshrined a new member. One last question. My tenant has paid the rent, and served me with 45 days of notice to end tenancy. He has also paid the 750.00 early termination fee set out in the contract. Is he still bound to the rest of the contract, seeing as he's given such lengthy notice? He's still babbling on about this lawyer/witness thing concerning the remainder of the term. The form I was referring to was the monetary claim order.(rtb-37, sorry)
ReplyDeleteThis sure is a crash course in what happens to you guys all the time, presumably. Is this a recurring situation in the rental business?
We'll be excited to receive your membership application!
ReplyDeleteIf the $750 for breaking the term early represents liquidated damages (the cost of finding a new tenant) then yes; he could potentially be held liable for lost rent for the remainder of the term. Having said that, 45 days should be quite a bit of time to find a replacement tenant. (From the time you receive notice to end the tenancy, you are legally obligated to begin your hunt for a suitable replacement to mitigate the losses of both you and him.)
RTB-37, as you suspected, is a bit meaningless on its own. (It is meant to be accompanied by a monetary order application.) If you need to request money from him, it's best to give us a call. And if you're a member at that time, we'll gladly spend as much time on the phone with you as is necessary!
