Cutting The Red Tape: Top Challenges Landlords Are Facing Today - Kayla Andrade

At the beginning of the year my wife and I plan our goals for the year, and we’ve been doing this since 2009. I’m doing something different with the intro at the start of the year. A couple things I do which you can try is call clients or business partners while driving, and listen to podcasts. I also share the top 10 tips that had a huge influence on my life in 2024. Then we get into the conversation with Kayla, chatting about the LTB - the Landlord and Tenant Board. Is it working for us, are changes required, how are landlord and tenant issues handled elsewhere, and is the government planning changes to the LTB soon and MUCH more!
