@Dione,
I live in Edmonton and don't drive either! We should take that class together :)
Good Luck!

I've been a lucky tenant who had a couple of great landlords and didn't appreciate the situation at the time as much as I should have. Two people come together, establish a business relationship and treat each other well...who knew that was so rare and wonderful?
Having been a lanlord as well, I can appreciate some of Dominion's comments. Trust me, you'll never understand until you meet the endless complainers, those who love to nit-pick and squabble. Blech, we sold the income property and all the headaches that went with it. Tenants have all the rights in the world. They should expect to be treated well and fairly, but some people you cannot please. Here, in Canada, it's almost impossible to evict someone, but they can scream bloody murder if you are outside the house on the public sidewalk meeting with a contractor about new shingles, because they did not receive twenty four hours notice. Public sidewalk.
If Dominion feels (s)he has a formula to weed out difficult tenants before they sign the lease and make life Hell for a year, more power to him. The landlord and tenant difficulties go both ways. Sometimes nice people get stuck with crazy people...in both directions.
