all about the nut

It really does sound like a flimsy excuse for something else. If you legitimately want to move into the place you're not taking that long to swap out some flooring beforehand.

Maybe if it was a house or town house. But if it was a condo how will they know? Fly a drone to your unit?

They'll see the trades in the elevator/lobby/hallways for one.

The link is unrelated to your scenario.
Someone else gave the tenant the form, not you.

"After ending the tenancy, the purchaser or their close family member must live in the rental unit for at least 12 months, beginning within a reasonable period after the effective date of the notice to end tenancy.

As someone else said, put up your hydro and internet bill on day one. Should the ex tenant dispute it, you moved in on day one, and decided to do renos on day two, along with intent to live in there right away.

Most ex tenants will not come after you, unless they honestly think you / or your seller, is doing dirty stuff to increase rent.

In a recent article, 'Some up and coming neighbourhoods' ... I think I agree with one of the 7 ... Ladner/Delta.

Mount pleasant “up and coming”
Did his writer type this up in 2008 and forget to hit submit until now?

"Ladner, South Delta: Buyers can save up to $1 million,"

Buyers can save up to 3 million if they move to hope

Fraser Mills will just be another River District. Increased traffic, no schools, lots of bugs and water stink.

Maybe up-and-coming for their heartrate when they realize what a wasteful purchase that was.

:lol

What kinda house can you buy at Mount pleasant for $880,000

Home =/= Detached House

I can't even put this into words...Also, how is their FSR over 85%????

That is fuckin HEINOUS

More like Queensborough landing with one little bridge/bottleneck to cross to get out of the area.

wow back in 2011 it used tobe just ONE house on a weird lot.
danggg for 4 million ... mortgage itself would be 30k a month...

It's basically a purpose built Airbnb

Ha. I'm not sure that makes it just a little worse or a lot worse than River District. I vote for a lot worse; Fraser Mills never should have been approved as a development but this is the cowardice and stupidity of city planners and city council. They could have just up zoned existing residential lands instead to get the same amount of new housing (like how the province has forced them to do now though not quite far enough) but now they're taking up what should be industrial lands to build housing.

That gaudy place came up before I think. The exterior photo is at night so you don't notice it's just a box sitting on a cement lot. That grand entrance leading to just a couple random doors is hilarious though.

PSA if you live in Vancouver, Property Tax is due in the next couple of days. Hopefully, you've put it on your calendar as a reminder.

Same for Burnaby. H/t to those who recommended the CT Mastercard for paying property taxes.

My CT cash back finally showed up after paying last week. Hope they get the money before the deadline.

Also deadline to apply for grants is July 3!

CT bill payment had some sort of system failure a little over a week ago, right when I used them to pay my property tax bill. Thank god I checked on the City's end to see whether the payment has been received, cuz it turned out that CT just never processed that property tax bill payment right when I did it.

It was cutting it too close for comfort.

oh shitty I'll have to check mine too
