It's been confirmed that the long-awaited Renter's Rights Act will come into force next year on May 1, with the government setting out a staggered timeline for sweeping renters' reforms. As the biggest shake-up to private renting in a generation, the lobbying organisation Generation Rent described it as a “vital first step in righting the power imbalance between landlords and tenants”. But critics are concerned it will prompt more landlords to sell up. We're joined by Matt Hutchinson, Communications Director of flat-sharing site SpareRoom, who shares his perspective on the capital's housing market, whether landlords will be deterred by the new housing regulations, and what further action the government should take.

In this episode of the I Hate Numbers podcast, we explore a tax trap that affects countless landlords and property investors. Preparing a property before tenants move in brings real costs, but HMRC applies strict rules on what you can and cannot claim. We explain those rules in plain English, highlight common mistakes, and show how to protect your cash flow and stay compliant. When Your Property Business Really Starts Your property business officially begins on the day your first tenant moves in and rent starts. That date matters because any spending before then is treated as pre-commencement expenditure. HMRC will only allow these costs if they meet three criteria: The cost must be within seven years of the start date.The cost must not already have been claimed elsewhere.The cost must be allowable if incurred after the business started. If all three conditions are met, the expense is treated as if it occurred on day one of the rental business. Understanding Revenue vs Capital This is the core of the tax decision. Revenue expenses repair or maintain the property without improving it. Examples include: RepaintingRepairing dampReplacing damaged flooring with similar materialsFixing broken boilers like-for-like Capital expenses improve or upgrade the property. These include: ExtensionsLoft conversionsUpgrading to high-spec kitchens or bathroomsStructural alterations Revenue costs reduce your rental profits now. Capital costs only reduce capital gains tax in the future. Examples That Show the Difference If you treat dry rot or replace rotten timbers, HMRC sees it as a repair. If you convert a loft or add an extra bathroom, that improves the property's overall value and is treated as capital. Understanding the difference prevents costly mistakes when completing your tax return. Why Record Keeping Matters HMRC expects clear records: invoices, breakdowns, and evidence of work carried out. Mixed invoices are a common issue. If repairs and improvements are bundled into one amount, HMRC may block the full claim. Ask contractors for itemised invoices, and take before-and-after photos to strengthen your position. Avoiding Common Mistakes Landlords often run into trouble for reasons such as: Claiming costs older than seven years.Classifying improvements as repairs.Lacking itemised invoices or evidence.Using inconsistent accounting methods. If you have multiple rental properties, allowable repair costs from one property can still reduce overall rental profits across your portfolio.

No surprise to me that there's a glut of apartments on the market  I saw the potential for this oversupply happening in San Diego a couple of years ago. It seemed anywhere you drove within a short distance you would see the construction of new apartment buildings. It is not just here in San Diego though as the glut of apartments is happening around the country. With the dynamics of supply and demand, if you're looking for an apartment today, you're in for a treat. In September rental rates had the steepest drop in more than 15 years. Landlords are now offering months of free rent, gift cards, free parking and some are even paying for your moving expenses just to get you to sign a lease. You may want to play hardball because in some areas they'll even cut the rent on top of all those incentives. In September, 37% of rentals agreed to concessions like months of free rent. What caused the problem for landlords is during the early years of the pandemic, developers could not begin building apartments fast enough, especially in the Sunbelt area where there was a major population migration. It became the biggest apartment construction boom in 40 years, but because of the delay of construction permits and labor shortages, development took much longer than they had hoped. It seemed no one looked around to see all the apartments going up, and now they're all competing with each other for renters. The landlords are hoping they can raise rents by the end of 2026 or at least sometime in 2027, but I don't think they are factoring in how many apartments are online with more still to come. Based on the current apartment inventory and new apartments coming online, renters could be in for lower rent maybe perhaps until 2028. This will not be good for the housing market because rent for houses will be the next to fall and then people will have to factor in the affordability of renting vs buying a home. This would also likely hurt the demand for buying rental properties as an investment if you can't get as much rent as you thought.    Are the large hyperscale companies like Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet inflating earnings?  Michael Burry, who was made famous by "The Big Short", made the claim that some of America's largest tech companies are using aggressive accounting to pad their profits. He believes they are understating depreciation expenses by estimating that chips will have a longer life cycle than is realistic. Investors are likely aware of the huge investment these companies are making in AI, but they likely don't understand how the accounting of the investments work. If a business makes an investment in these semiconductors/servers of let's say $100 B, that doesn't hit earnings when the money is spent as under generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, they are instead able to spread out the cost of that asset as a yearly expense that is based on the company's estimate of how rapidly that asset depreciates in value. From what I've seen, these companies are generally depreciating their Nvidia chips for over 5 to 6 years. This seems to be a stretch considering Nvidia is on a 1-year chip production cycle, and the technology is changing quite rapidly. Burry estimated that from 2026 through 2028, the accounting maneuver would understate depreciation by about $176 billion and if Burry is correct, hyperscale's will have to write off AI capex as a bad investment, due to depreciation-useful life mismatch. This would then produce a major hit on earnings. While I remain a believer that AI is here to stay, I do believe there will be some big-time losers in this space given all the money that is being spent. Be careful chasing the hype as I do worry the fallout for some of these companies could be larger than many things possible. Burry has also warned this year that AI enthusiasm resembles the late-1990s tech bubble and recently disclosed put options betting against Nvidia and Palantir. He also stated that "more detail" was coming November 25th, and that readers should "stay tuned." I know I'm definitely curious what other information he has!    China is no longer just manufacturing; they are also beginning to innovate.  For many years innovation was generally done here in the US, and we would have the products manufactured in China. China is no longer happy with this arrangement, and its research and development spending is up nearly 9% a year well above the 1.7% here in United States. In 2024, China filed 70,160 international patents which was about 16,000 more than the 54,087 patents the US filed. China also seems to be more advanced in robotics installing 300,000 industrial robots in 2024 compared with roughly 30,000 industrial robots in the US. It also has been noted that when it comes to worldwide sales of electric vehicles, 66% came from China. While these developments seem positive for China, the country is still experiencing problems with a slowing economy as they have seen fixed asset investment decline and a slowdown in retail sales. The population of China has also declined over the last three years, and the real estate market after four years has really taken away a lot of household wealth. China's public and private debt continue to climb rapidly, which is becoming a problem for them as well. It is estimated that China is spending around $85-$95 billion on AI capital spending yet their economy is struggling as noted by the China Merchants Bank which talked about a 11% decline in consumption among customers and retail loans are now under pressure. China's exports to the US are down 27% because of the tariffs, but worldwide their exports are up 8%. It was recently reported that Beijing banned foreign AI chips from Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and Intel from government funding data center buildouts. Currently, China cannot pass the US and its allies in producing the most advance semiconductors, but they're making very good progress in developing mid-level chips and parts of the AI ecosystem. The US must continue to forge ahead because if we rest, China will be the world dominant power    Financial Planning: 50-year Mortgage: Helpful or Hurtful? A 50-year mortgage is being discussed as a way to reduce monthly payments and help with affordability, offering borrowers slightly lower costs that could help them qualify for homes otherwise out of reach. Critics argue that these loans would saddle buyers with far more interest paid to banks and that many borrowers would never pay off such a long mortgage, but those arguments often miss the bigger picture. Paying a low rate of interest to a bank is not inherently bad if it allows someone to invest money elsewhere at higher returns, just as today's homeowners with 30-year mortgages at 2% benefit greatly from not paying them off early. Also, most mortgages today are never fully paid off anyway because homes are sold, or loans are refinanced long before they reach maturity. A 50-year loan would be no different, especially since borrowers could always pay more than the minimum if they wanted to accelerate payoff. In practice, savvy investors would likely use the freed-up cash flow from 50-year mortgages to invest in higher-return opportunities, but most borrowers probably wouldn't resulting in slower wealth accumulation for the masses without addressing the root cause of housing affordability. If used correctly, this loan could be a useful tool, but I fear the overall impact could be damaging.     Companies Discussed:  Axon Enterprise (AXON), Zoetis Inc. (ZTS), Elf Beauty Inc.

Is Montreal really "in decline"… or are we just stuck in a negative narrative? In this episode of The Espace Montreal Podcast, host Axel Monsaingeon talks with Luciano D'Iorio, Regional President of CDNGLOBAL Québec, about why he's so relentlessly positive about Montreal's future – and what he sees on the ground every day in commercial real estate.   They dig into: The real stories behind downtown landmarks like Peel Street and the Sun Life Building How local landlord families went from one building to owning major downtown portfolios Why relationship-based ownership still matters more than AI, data and distant asset managers What makes it so hard to lose a good tenant—and so easy if you neglect them How small and medium businesses drive the downtown ecosystem Elections, policy, safety, homelessness and cleanliness as core CRE issues, not side topics The tension between heritage preservation and development (from churches to silos and conversions) If you're in commercial real estate, urban planning, brokerage, investing or entrepreneurship and you care about downtown Montreal, this conversation will give you a nuanced, optimistic and practical perspective on where the city is headed – and how to create value in it.

Seven-Lecture Series on Property Law Series Roadmaphttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1ceyxXw7KilPSTUMFf_Y8r6ktEzM_gm1Q/view?usp=sharingThis conversation delves into the complexities of property law, specifically focusing on the landlord-tenant relationship and leasehold estates. It covers essential topics such as the types of leasehold estates, landlord duties, tenant rights, the Fair Housing Act, and landlord tort liability. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts for legal exams and real-world applications, highlighting the evolving nature of housing law and the need for fairness and security in tenant protections.Key Points SummaryI. Leasehold Estates & Property StatusFour Leasehold Types: Landlord/Tenant Law recognizes:Term of Years: Fixed period, ends automatically.Periodic Tenancy: Successive terms, renews until notice (e.g., 30-60 days).Tenancy at Will: Both parties desire, no specific term, modern law often requires notice.Tenancy at Sufferance (Holdover): Tenant remains wrongfully; landlord can evict or bind to new lease.Lease vs. License: A lease grants possessory interest; a license is revocable permission to use, not possess.Property Characterization: A lease is both a property conveyance and a contract. Tenant has present possession; landlord retains future possession.II. Landlord Duties & Tenant RemediesDuty to Deliver Possession: Landlords must deliver actual physical possession (modern English Rule, especially for residential leases).Implied Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment (ICQE): Protects tenant from landlord's substantial interference; breach leads to actual or constructive eviction.Implied Warranty of Habitability (IWH): (Residential only) Landlord must maintain habitable property, free of health/safety threats. Non-waivable.IWH Remedies: Tenant can refuse/abate rent or "repair and deduct" without vacating.III. Constructive & Self-Help EvictionConstructive Eviction (CE): Landlord's breach substantially interferes, forcing tenant to leave. Requires:Substantial Interference (landlord's fault).Notice and Cure (landlord fails to fix).Goodbye (tenant vacates reasonably quickly).Prohibition of Self-Help: Modern law almost universally bans landlord self-help eviction, requiring judicial proceedings for public peace.Exclusion of Non-Tenants: Self-help is often allowed against non-tenants (e.g., licensees), denying them due process.Advocacy for Uniform Protection: Argument exists to extend self-help prohibition to all residential occupants for housing security and dignity.IV. Transfer & Mitigation of DamagesDuty to Mitigate: Modern trend (contract law) requires landlords to make reasonable efforts to relet premises if a tenant breaches, reducing tenant's liability.Assignment vs. Sublease:Assignment: Transfers entire lease term. Assignee is directly liable to landlord; original tenant remains secondarily liable.Sublease: Transfers part of the term. Sublessee has no direct relationship with landlord; original tenant remains fully liable.Understanding the distinction between leasehold estates and licenses is crucial.There are four main types of leasehold estates: term of years, periodic tenancy, tenancy at will, and tenancy at sufferance.Landlords have specific duties, including delivering possession and ensuring habitability.Constructive eviction allows tenants to leave without penalty if their enjoyment of the property is substantially interfered with.The implied warranty of habitability ensures that residential properties meet basic living standards.Landlords must mitigate damages when a tenant abandons the property.The Fair Housing Act prohibits discrimination based on protected classes.Landlords can be liable for injuries on the property under certain conditions.Negligence per se can establish landlord liability if safety statutes are violated.The legal status of tenants versus licensees significantly impacts eviction protections.

In the latest episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer explore the current state of the Australian property market, highlighting key trends affecting investors, first home buyers, and landlords. They discuss the Reserve Bank of Australia's decision to hold the cash rate at 3.60%, noting the stabilising effect on the market while economists remain divided on when the next move might occur. The hosts examine the First Home Guarantee Scheme, which has seen a 48% increase in uptake year-on-year, driving national price growth of 5.1%, with Melbourne and Sydney leading the rise. The discussion also covers commercial property, where Sydney offices are recovering post-pandemic, yields are tightening, and investor lending is surging to $40 billion, the highest level since 2017. Victorian landlords are also highlighted as facing regulatory challenges, including strict compliance rules and fines, and increasing reliance on property managers for guidance. Despite these pressures, demand for rental properties remains strong, driven by immigration and student housing needs, underscoring the critical role landlords play in the market.

All this week, Lunchtime Live has been focusing on the renting situation around Ireland.Today, we want to look at a slightly different angle: what is the current situation for landlords in this country?Andrea is joined by Maurice Deverell, Private landlord and Member of Irish Property Owners Association and listeners to hear their experiences.

In this episode of the REB Podcast, deputy editor Emilie Lauer sits down with Sarah Cincotta, founder of RISE with Sarah Cincotta, to explore how property managers and business development managers (BDMs) can build sustainable growth through strategic relationship building and personal branding. Cincotta reflects on her career journey, from managing a menswear store to overseeing 186 properties in a paper-based era, before transitioning into a BDM role where she set record onboarding results. The discussion highlights the pressures BDMs face, including resource constraints and gaps in director understanding, which can leave professionals uncertain about generating new opportunities. Cincotta champions a "draw-in" approach over chasing clients, built on four pillars: visibility, energy, clarity, and relatability, to create a magnetic personal brand. She stresses effective communication, self-awareness, and resilience as essential for building long-term client relationships. Looking ahead, she envisions BDMs taking on a more strategic role, advising clients on wealth creation and asset management rather than just property management. Her insights offer a roadmap for BDMs and property management leaders to leverage personal growth, strategic thinking, and relationship-building to thrive in an evolving real estate landscape. Cincotta will also be sharing her insights live at the upcoming REB Property Management Excellence Conference (PMX), where she'll guide BDMs and property managers on building magnetic client relationships and future-proofing their businesses for long-term growth.

Simon discusses how to protect yourself from bad tenants, especially in light of the new Renters' Rights Bill, which marks the largest change to the private rental sector in 30 years, warning that this legislation may lead to an increase in "professional bad tenants" who take advantage of uninformed landlords. KEY TAKEAWAYS Landlords must treat their property investing like a business, be educated on their responsibilities, and cannot abdicate responsibility, even if they use a letting agent. The Renters' Rights Bill increases the risk of rent repayment orders (up to 24 months' rent) if compliance is neglected. Ensure all prescribed paperwork and safety certificates are shared with tenants at the correct time. To pursue a tenant for unpaid rent (you have up to six years), gather their full name, date of birth, and National Insurance number (from their payslip). This allows you to claim money back via MoneyClaim.gov.uk. Landlords should check every six months for new selective licensing requirements in their property's area. Also, ensure the correspondence address on the Land Registry is up-to-date to receive official notices. BEST MOMENTS "With the Renters' Rights Bill coming in, which is the largest change in 30 years to the private rental sector, there's no doubt in my mind there's going to be an increase in professional bad tenants." "You must treat your investing like a business." "You can't treat your property investing as a hobby, as a side hustle. Even if it's part-time, you must treat your investing like a business." "You are driving by looking in the rearview mirror."

Are you a California landlord charging late fees? You might be surprised to learn that many common late fee provisions are actually illegal under California law! In this essential seminar, we break down the critical legal requirements for enforcing late charges in California. We'll cover: The "Liquidated Damages" Rule: Understand why your late fees must be treated as liquidated damages, not a penalty, and how to ensure compliance with Civil Code Section 1671(d). Key Lease Language: Discover the specific wording your lease agreement must contain to make late charges legally enforceable. Learn what makes a late fee a "reasonable pre-estimate" of your costs. What NOT to Do: Avoid common pitfalls, such as including late fees in a 3-day notice to pay rent or quit, and understand how tenant payments should be applied. Eviction & Late Charges: Get clarity on whether a court will evict for a late charge and important considerations for Section 8 tenancies. Don't risk legal trouble! Watch this seminar to ensure your late fee provisions are fully compliant and enforceable.

British Columbia is in a housing crisis, and 1.6 million renters are bearing the brunt of it. The Residential Tenancy Act and Residential Tenancy Branch policy have the potential to support the human right to housing and to prevent homelessness and displacement but there is plenty of room for improvement in how well they protect tenants. First United has just come out with their second law reform platform addressing some of the gaps. We speak with Dr. Sarah Marsden of First United.

Voters in Duluth overwhelmingly passed a ballot initiative last night dubbed “Right to Repair.” It's a first-of-its-kind law in Minnesota that allows tenants to make simple repairs to their rental units and then deduct the cost of those repairs from their rent payment. The initiative was extremely popular. It won with 69 percent of the votes. MPR News host Nina Moini talked with Chloe Holloway, one of the leaders of the campaign with the organizing group Duluth Tenants.

This episode of The Arena features host Linda McGlaughlin (also referred to as Linda McLaclin) in conversation with guest J. Paul Nadeau. The podcast is recorded in the city of Hamilton, and the host opens the episode with an acknowledgement of the traditional First Nations territories upon which the city is situated. The Host The host is Linda McGlaughlin, who welcomes listeners "to the arena where sometimes the hardest part is showing up". She is preparing for season 5 of the podcast and plans to introduce a live interactive version of upcoming interviews on Fireside Chat. This is Episode 49 of the podcast. The Guest and Topic The guest, J. Paul Nadeau, is an international keynote speaker, actor, coach, and best-selling author of the book, Take Control of Your Life. The core discussion revolves around his philosophy that we all have choices to make about the events in our lives and how they impact us. The central theme is not being a hostage to your own mind or circumstances. J. Paul Nadeau draws this idea from his professional experience as an expert hostage negotiator. He explains that we often become hostages to ourselves by giving in to negative narratives drilled into us by past experiences or people (caregivers, bullies, etc.). Useful and Helpful Information Paul Nadeau's Background and Philosophy: Nadeau had a difficult upbringing, including a violently abusive alcoholic father. His father killed himself when Nadeau was 16. Despite this, at 21, he chose his own destiny, becoming a police officer and sergeant in the Durham region outside of Toronto for 30 years. His extensive career also included roles as an expert interrogator, criminal detective, international peacekeeper, and instructor. Nadeau insists that whatever happens to you does not define you; you define what happens to you. He cites Victor Frankl, noting that how you respond to events is what matters. He advocates for changing one's mindset: recognizing that we can "unhostage ourselves" by changing the negative narrative. We must police our thoughts daily and challenge negative prehistoric narratives. He sees major changes and setbacks, such as a surprising divorce that occurred just after he retired from policing, as opportunities. Nadeau believes that the abuse he suffered was ultimately a "gift" because it challenged him to grow up and become a police officer who went on to save and help people through trauma. Key Concepts for Listeners: Courage: Living a courageous life means living without fear and stepping into various levels of courage (physical, moral, spiritual, social, intellectual). The greatest things lie beyond our fears. The Landlord of Your Thoughts: Nadeau uses the metaphor of being a landlord: if you are the landlord of your own thoughts, you can choose which tenants (thoughts) you allow in, kicking out the negative, noisy ones. Rejecting Victimhood: He challenges the idea of remaining in a state of victimhood and blaming past actions or abuse for current behavior. He argues that this is a "copout" and that you are not a product of your past, but a product of your present choices. The Power of the Present: Nadeau stresses the importance of the present moment, which he calls a "gift". He advises against dwelling in the past ("the poor me hotel") or focusing too much on future plans, instead urging listeners to make the best of this very moment of your life. Legacy and Choice: Nadeau's goal is to leave the world better than he found it by sharing his philosophies and books. He emphasizes the six-letter word "choice". He reminds listeners that "The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step," but adds that you must take whatever amount of steps you need to take to make that journey a reality. Analogy: Nadeau's philosophy is like navigating a ship. While you can't control the storms (past events or circumstances), you hold the wheel (your choices) and the map (your mindset), allowing you to actively set your course toward an extraordinary destination, rather than letting the current simply drag you backward into the wreckage of yesterday.

Sometimes life throws you someone in your path you didn't know that you needed, but you absolutely did.  My guest today was exactly the person I needed to talk to about landlording - specifically, landlord “friendly” locations.  She is based in Calgary, AB, Canada, and has her own criteria for landlord friendly provinces.  Join me as we discuss the differences and similarities of the Canadian provinces and territories, and where you should and may you shouldn't jump in as a real estate investor.  Here's the article that started it all:  Landlord Friendly Provinces

We look at how the federal government shutdown is impacting children in Wisconsin and learn how lawmakers in Wisconsin are responding to the shutdown. We tell you about a tool that helps Milwaukee renters learn about their landlords. Plus, explore the cultural significance of a bad film. 

For the first time, Berlin's Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district has fined a landlord for charging exploitative rent—190% above the legal limit set by the local rental index, or Mietspiegel, which applies in areas with particularly strained housing markets. The tenant now has the opportunity to sue for a refund of €22,264.08 in overpaid rent. Berlin is set to become significantly greener over the next 15 years, with a plan to plant hundreds of thousands of new trees across the city. This ambitious initiative stems from a draft law jointly developed by the CDU and SPD coalition parties in collaboration with the citizens' initiative BaumEntscheid. Nettelbeckplatz in Berlin-Mitte has officially been renamed Martha-Ndumbe-Platz, honoring a Berlin-born woman of Cameroonian and German descent who was deported to Ravensbrück concentration camp in 1944 and died there in early 1945. The renaming replaces Joachim Nettelbeck, a former slave ship officer and colonial advocate. Berlin's population is growing faster than anticipated, with projections now suggesting the city could surpass four million residents by 2036. While Berlin has seen steady growth in recent decades, it still hasn't reached its historical peak of around 4.4 million, recorded just before or during World War II. Interestingly, the city has the lowest birth rate in Germany, meaning this growth is driven almost entirely by immigration. By 2040, an estimated 109,000 new residents are expected to arrive, reshaping the city's demographic landscape.
