Thinking with your heart must be a little easier with a multi-million-dollar property appreciating underfoot.

Mariam Rahmani, from Liquid

"Many [Canadian] veterans were furious that their overseas sacrifices failed to protect them from countrymen who were exploiting shortages to make huge illegal profits, despite stricter WPTB [Wartime Prices and Trade Board] rules. As a former private with the 3rd Division complained soon after returning to Toronto: “Soldiers cannot find houses or apartments unless they have a lot of money or get it through the black market.” In fact, some greedy landlords sought out veterans because they qualified for at least several hundred dollars in DVA [Department of Veterans Affairs] gratuity payments. In Halifax and Montreal, ex-soldiers reported being charged $70 a month for one-room flats — about four times the rate when they had enlisted."

Some feared violence from veterans over the housing situation. In July 1945 Canadian newspapers reported on “house commandos” being formed among British veterans who, in overcrowded cities like London, Portsmouth, and Liverpool, raided and took over properties known to be vacant for their homeless comrades, which the Ottawa Citizen saw as “a warning that should not go unheeded.”" Indeed, veterans in Vancouver came to dominate a new Anti-Eviction Committee that, authorities noted with concern, drew significant trade union, CCF, and communist support. As well as lobbying for more low-cost housing and stronger legislation to protect tenants, the group arranged for round-the-clock pickets outside places where veterans faced eviction.

In January 1946, tensions escalated considerably when 300 veterans, led by the sergeant-at-arms for the British Columbia Command of the Canadian Legion, occupied the Hotel Vancouver. Although slated for demolition before the war because it had gone bankrupt, it had been kept standing during the conflict to house troops. After the war, the Legion, the Canadian Corps Association, and the Army and Navy League lobbied to have the hotel turned into a hostel for veterans. Once the request was denied, the offensive was launched. Within days, the hotel was filled and a waiting list of more than 1,000 veterans and their families was generated. Some condemned the occupiers as communists, though it seems more people sympathized with these veterans who had fought for Canada and now faced homelessness. A standoff ensued for nearly a month, but ultimately the federal and municipal governments agreed to temporarily turn the hotel into a hostel. Ottawa even coughed up $15,000 toward basic renovations. The arrangement lasted until 1948, by which time most veterans in Vancouver, including those who had occupied the hotel, had found decent accommodation, thus permitting its demolition in 1949.

Similar incidents occurred elsewhere. In May 1946 fifty veterans converged in front of a Verdun flat to protect a former comrade and his family from bailiffs serving eviction papers. A Union Jack was symbolically strung across the porch. For two days veterans stood guard until new accommodation was secured for the 90 The Wartime Prices and Trade Board tenants, and violence was averted only because the police were under orders not to intervene.” In nearby Montreal, postwar housing shortages produced the Ligue des vétérans sans logis. Led by Henri Gagnon, a veteran and the French-language organizer for the Labour Progressive Party, the group occupied several local government buildings to press home its demands for a moratorium on evictions and for the provision of low-cost housing.

In September 1946 a Veterans’ Housing League in Ottawa occupied an abandoned military building on the Lansdowne Park fairgrounds. Mayor Stanley Lewis, who viewed homelessness among veterans as a national tragedy, refused to have the twenty-five adults and thirty-five children forcibly removed, even though the building had no running water, a leaky roof and, according to the fire department, faulty and potentially dangerous electrical wiring. However, in October Lewis stationed police outside Lansdowne’s horticultural building because of rumours that the Housing League planned another such operation. When another attempt at occupation did occur, during the wee hours of the fifteenth, it was thwarted. Still, the occupation at the fairgrounds persisted into early 1947, when an agreement was finally reached for the remaining members of the group to move into barracks at the Rockcliffe airport."

This was a compromise – it avoided swamping the male vote with women, kept the vote among property-owning classes, and divided women by class: property-owning women got the vote, poor women and married women whose houses were in their husbands' names did not.

These nuns helped the homeless until they showed up on their doorstep

These Nuns Helped the Homeless Until They Showed Up On Their Doorstep | Novara Media

When squatters set up a homeless shelter in a disused convent, they thought the nuns – whose religious order prides itself on helping the ho

“Among the first things he did after securing the building was pin his details to the front door so that the owners could contact him to discuss the terms and length of their stay. A couple of days later, he got a call: it was Brian Kervick, property surveyor for the Union of the Sisters of Mercy of Great Britain (USMGB). The group was in luck, Bill thought ...

“A couple of months after Kervick called, the police paid a visit to AWS, saying they’d had information from the owners that the building was residential (UK squatting law permits the squatting only of non-residential buildings). After Bill explained that the building was in fact a mixed-use commercial building, the officers left, seemingly satisfied. The AWS organisers were therefore confused when, in late April, they got a letter from the Met, threatening them with arrest if they didn’t leave within 21 days ...

“After absorbing the shock of the letter, the shelter dealt with it in the way anarchists do best: by throwing a party. Last week, AWS hosted a packed schedule of events, from queer bash back (self-defence and de-escalation techniques) to parkour, culminating in a street party last Saturday. They toured locals around the building, dispelling myths about squatters and sharing the work they’d been doing ... The threat of eviction seems to have subsided for now: after a meeting with AWS organisers, Tower Hamlets mayor Lutfur Rahman wrote to the police telling them to back off ...

“As its name suggests, the Autonomous Winter Shelter has significantly outlived its own life expectancy. As residents brace for a court battle, the shelter is training them to be – as its name also suggests – autonomous: to scout and open squats of their own ...

“Relying on neither the church nor the state’s help, this group of anarchists is doing it for themselves; ‘we take care of us,’ says M. In fact, suggests Scribbles, ‘I think the government should look at us as a model for how stuff should be done.’”

Property Management Service

Property management is a crucial aspect of the real estate industry, as it involves the management, operation, and maintenance of real estate properties on behalf of property owners. Property management services are essential for property owners who are unable to manage their properties themselves or do not have the expertise to manage their properties effectively. Property management services can be provided by individual property managers or by property management companies that specialize in managing multiple properties.

In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of property management services and the benefits that property owners can derive from these services.

Why Property Management Services are Important

Property management services are essential for a variety of reasons. Firstly, property management services help property owners to manage their properties effectively. Property managers are responsible for ensuring that properties are well-maintained and that any problems that arise are addressed promptly. This can include things like repairs, maintenance, and tenant complaints.

Secondly, property management services can help property owners to maximize their rental income. Property managers are responsible for setting rent prices and ensuring that properties are rented out to reliable tenants. They are also responsible for collecting rent and handling any issues that arise with tenants, such as late payments or evictions.

Thirdly, property management services can help property owners to save time and reduce stress. Managing a property can be a time-consuming and stressful task, especially for those who are not experienced in property management. Property managers can take care of all the day-to-day tasks associated with managing a property, allowing property owners to focus on other aspects of their lives.

Finally, property management services can help property owners to mitigate risks associated with property ownership. Property managers are responsible for ensuring that properties are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. They are also responsible for handling any legal issues that may arise, such as tenant disputes or property damage claims.

Benefits of Property Management Services

There are numerous benefits that property owners can derive from property management services. Some of the most important benefits include:

Tenant Screening and Selection

One of the most important tasks of a property manager is to screen and select tenants. This process involves checking potential tenants' credit histories, criminal backgrounds, and rental histories to ensure that they are reliable and responsible tenants. Property managers can also verify tenants' employment status and income to ensure that they can afford to pay rent.

By selecting reliable tenants, property managers can help property owners to minimize the risk of property damage and ensure that rent is paid on time. This can help to maximize rental income and reduce stress associated with property ownership.

Property Maintenance and Repairs

Another important task of property managers is to ensure that properties are well-maintained and that any necessary repairs are carried out promptly. Property managers can arrange for regular maintenance, such as cleaning and landscaping, as well as any necessary repairs, such as plumbing or electrical work.

By ensuring that properties are well-maintained, property managers can help to prevent more significant problems from arising and can help to maintain the value of the property over time. This can help property owners to maximize their return on investment.

Rent Collection and Financial Management

Property managers are responsible for collecting rent from tenants and ensuring that any necessary financial transactions are carried out promptly. They can also handle any issues that arise with tenants, such as late payments or bounced checks.

By ensuring that rent is collected promptly, property managers can help property owners to maximize their rental income and reduce the risk of financial problems associated with property ownership.

Legal Compliance and Risk Management

Property managers are responsible for ensuring that properties are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. This can include things like building codes, zoning laws, and safety regulations. They are also responsible for handling any legal issues that may arise, such as tenant disputes or property damage claims.

Working in community resources means that your supervisor agrees with you when you say you hate landlords.

Dumbass is trying to evict someone but can’t (due to CARES Act, which only protects folks in govt assistance programs, so he’s getting money for the property anyway), and now he’s trying to make it to where a “fine” (we don’t do fines for code compliance violations - only invoices) is sent to the renter. He was a bit of a sourpuss when I told him his property is his responsibility, and we won’t be billing the tennent for his neglect. He doesn’t even have a real fucking job. Goodnight. What a damn prick. Outta be hung by his ankles.
