My Life As A Landlord | Rentals, Real Estate Investing, Property Management, Tenants, Canada & US. – Details, episodes & analysis

This follow-up episode continues the landlord’s firsthand account of a drawn-out eviction in British Columbia that nearly spiraled into a six‑month nightmare. What begins as a quiet tenancy unravels after unauthorized pets and additional occupants move in, leading to legal notices, hearings, and mounting frustration. The host walks listeners through every step — from warning letters and Residential Tenancy Branch disputes to the looming possibility of a Supreme Court enforcement and bailiff intervention. In a twist, the story reveals how due diligence, proper documentation, and patience ultimately led to a peaceful resolution: the tenant left voluntarily, leaving only minor damage behind. The episode closes on a reflective note about professionalism, persistence, and the reality that in property management, prevention and process are everything. 👋 COME SAY HI!

Today's episode is a bit different.  I am interviewing a landlord with one rental from British Columbia, who just had a nightmare tenant.  Very quickly things went sideways, resulting in warning letters, some unit damage, and non-payment of rent.  Things could have been much worse, but we learn about the mistakes made along the way, the decision to hire a property manager local to the rental, and the use of AI helping in writing the warning letters.  Join me in today's first case study on My Life As A Landlord! 👋 COME SAY HI!

If you close your eyes and think of what gets your anxiety up, instantly, I bet that doesn’t feel very good.  But what happens if what triggers you and your family is a bad neighbor and your landlord will do nothing about it.  Even worse, what if the trigger is a constantly barking dog on your neighbor’s property….and what happens if this is going on both sides of where you’re trying to live?  My guest today is a long-time tenant and has a case study to share with us on what happened when his related-to-him landlords worked to protect his quiet enjoyment, all with code enforcement not acting.  Mike Daniels gives us the goods.   👋 COME SAY HI!Visit my website: https://www.mylifeasalandlord.com/Join the Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mylifeasalandlord ☕️ Are you loving the show?
