    QUOTE (EdRenkema @ Jan 11 2008, 09:12 AM) Hi Boris,Thanks a lot for your response, its a start. As usual people make the assumption I am familiar with certain functions.

    Security Deposits

    QUOTE (TerryF @ Jan 5 2008, 09:50 AM) We have just received security deposit money for a rental and it is currently in our personal savings account while we figure out where we should put it. This will likely be a short term rental (less than 6 months). My question is this...... can the money be...

    Superintendent lost laundry money

    One small word of caution - just as everyone one on REINSpace says you should speak to your accountant to confirm the advice you hear about tax issues, etc., the same holds true for legal issues. This is really an employment issue and you would do well to speak to an employment lawyer about...

    offer deposit - how much should it be?

    And don`t forget your offer cover letter, which will probably have more impact on your offer being accepted than a larger down payment anyway!

    QUOTE (mcgregok @ Oct 25 2007, 05:51 PM) Any comments now that Premier Ed Stelmach has made his royalty plan known ? Checked the stock prices (encna, petro canada etc) Did`nt seem to move much. What I`ve been reading is that the stock prices have already taken higher royalties into account...

    Investing in JV`s

    Brad - I would presume that if you work 30 days straight sometimes, you also get similar stretches of time off. If that`s true, what is stopping you from assembling your own team (realtor, mortgage broker, home inspector, lawyer, property manager) and buying 100% of a property yourself? If you...

    pets

    Pet deposit is the way to go... if I`m not mistaken it is actually against the law to charge a damage deposit higher than the first months` rent, so the only way to get extra is through a seperate deposit.

    Suggestion - Reporting Market Rents

    QUOTE (BMironov @ Sep 28 2007, 02:17 PM) I did not say that we should substitute legal address. If you want to base the database on such address then you should provide it with 17-3 By the end of the day, it is very simple on database level to use some sort of unique ID for each property...

    oil royalties for alberta

    QUOTE (Glennith @ Sep 28 2007, 02:28 PM) Hey Nick. Great way to state it! The fundamentals don`t lie. Everyone has to be made accountable to their best interests (shareholders vs. voters). Canada is (if I`m not mistaken) the only country that has actually LOWERED their oil consumption, which is...

    oil royalties for alberta

    QUOTE (Glennith @ Sep 28 2007, 02:03 PM) It is from my understanding that Premier Stelmach has been quoted saying "I will not let `Big Oil` push me around", or something to that effect. Well, for Alberta`s economies sake, if he will not be `bullied`, I hope he has at least enough sense to try...

    Suggestion - Reporting Market Rents

    QUOTE (BMironov @ Sep 28 2007, 01:58 PM) Another idea when submit 17-3 would be to return unique ID of the property back to REMA. This way it will be easier to maintain such communication about rent increases in particular property and central REIN database. Sort of "REIN property number"...
