Welcome!

Welcome to our blog – information for and dialogue among BC’s residential landlords. What question do you have? What’s your pet peeve as a landlord? How do you find – and keep – good renters?

LandlordMentor and AdviserToTheAdvisers have many answers and – like any good mentors or advisors – are always learning more.

Who is LandlordMentor? He is CEO of the Rental Owners and Managers Society of BC for 11 years, previously corporate real estate executive, labour negotiator, human resources professional and – in the dark ages – RCMP Officer.

Who is AdviserToTheAdvisers? She is the Member Service Manager, in the service industry for nearly 10 years, who is in charge of all advice and service that leaves the ROMS BC office.

"Can I pay you on the 23rd? I just bought a new laptop and it cost a little more than I thought. Sorry."

"Man, is it a new month already? Wow."

Do you have to put up with these excuses – and the more creative ones? In a word, NO! Rent is due on the first of the month; that doesn’t mean the second! You can issue a Notice to End Tenancy on the second and your renter then has five calendar days to pay the full rent, or move out!

Happy Day!
