Hello, This past spring I purchased an older home in the Delton area of Edmonton. As we`ve done with every purchase, we had the home purchase subject to inspection. The inspector, who was someone recommended by this forum, did their job and things looked pretty good. There were some issues like...

After having just had a discussion with Landlords and Tenants in Edmonton, it should be noted that if you use "renovations" as the reason for eviction, you have to give a full year`s notice! If the vendor has not given a proper reason for terminating the lease, (ie selling the property!) there...

Recently, while showing my basement suite to some potential renters, we noticed a fellow (someone we had never seen before) pull out a key and enter the main floor of our main floor suite. We already know who our tenants (3 adults) are and this guy is new. I plan to have a chat with our tenants...

Thanks for the multitude of responses. Just to bring everyone up to date, the insurance is going to go up huge. It was going to go from $900 to >$3000! The city inspector came to see it before it would be approved for group home usage and he wanted all of the bedroom windows replaced (including...

I have been approached by a woman who operates group homes that look after mentally ill patients recently released from institutions such as Alberta Hospital. They can stay in these group homes for up to 6 years and as little as a few months. There is always someone working in the house to...

Thanks for the advice. I called Richard the morning after Pillar to Post was recommended and he had the inspection done later that day. And, that was despite the weather being so nasty! The report he presented was very thorough and impressive. i really appreciate the help I received. This is...

I thought there would be a place to find inspectors on this site but haven`t found it yet. My property inspector is heading off to Orlando and Disney World (nice to away from the major storm coming our way!) and won`t be able to handle the property I just bought last night in Edmonton. There is...

QUOTE (C2Ventures @ Jan 23 2008, 08:34 PM) Hi Tim, Just to clarify, do you close on the house in Friday, or remove conditions on the offer on Friday??? Typically your offer should include at minimum "subject to home inspection and financing". If the house you just bought is still a...

I just had an inspection done on a house that I just bought. The inspector feels that the furnace has maybe a year left before it needs replacing. I`m wondering if this is something that should be rectified by the vender? I close on this house on Friday but don`t take possesion until March 31st...
