📊 Calgary Rental Market News: Big Changes Have Happened! 🏡

The Calgary rental market is seeing some major shifts! According to the Calgary Herald, rent price increases are slowing, and vacancy rates are climbing. Nearly 10,000 newly built rental units were added between April and November 2024 in Calgary! Here’s what that means for you:

💡 For Renters:
With more inventory on the market, you’ll have more options, lower rents, and more negotiating power. Now’s a great time to find your perfect place! Check out our available rentals and get into a home for the new year at a great price. Explore our properties over the holidays with 3D virtual tours and floorplans on our website at www.aspirepeakproperties.com/available-rentals

More rental units mean higher vacancy rates and longer times on the market. Staying competitive with pricing, adding standout features, and focusing on tenant experience will be key to filling those vacancies.

As Calgary grows, this evolving market offers opportunities for both renters and property owners. It’s all about staying ahead of the trends! 📰 We are also seeing these trends happening in Edmonton as well.

📜 𝐈𝐬 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫-𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭? 𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐋𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞! 📜

Whether you're a new landlord or have years of experience, ensuring your lease agreements are crystal clear is crucial for avoiding disputes and protecting yourself legally. In Calgary, strong lease agreements are your first defense against misunderstandings, so it’s important to get them right!

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭:
💼 Defines Rights & Responsibilities: A lease sets out both your rights and your tenant’s obligations clearly.
💼 Legal Protection: A well-written lease protects you in case of late rent payments, property damage, or tenant disputes.
💼 Prevents Confusion: By covering all the essentials in advance, you prevent misunderstandings that can lead to costly issues.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞?
1. Rent Payment Terms: Specify due dates, late fees, and methods of payment.
2. Security Deposits: Be clear on the deposit amount, conditions for return, and any deductions that may apply.
3. Maintenance Responsibilities: Outline who’s responsible for property upkeep (you or your tenant).
4. Termination Conditions: Set clear rules about lease terminations, notice periods, and renewal options.
5. Pets & Smoking Policies: Be specific about whether tenants can have pets, smoke, or make changes to the property.

Legal Tip: Always stay up-to-date with the Residential Tenancies Act to ensure your lease is legally compliant. This will save you from headaches if issues arise.

Final Thought: A good lease agreement is more than just paperwork—it’s your safeguard for a smooth landlord-tenant relationship. 🔑

If you’re a landlord in Calgary, you know property upkeep is one of your biggest ongoing expenses. From fixing leaky faucets to maintaining your HVAC system, staying on top of property maintenance is essential for protecting your investment and keeping your tenants happy.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭?
🔨 Prevents Costly Repairs: Small problems left unchecked can snowball into major (and expensive) repairs.
🔨 Maintains Property Value: Regular maintenance ensures your property stays in top condition, preserving its long-term value.
🔨 Keeps Tenants Happy: Well-maintained homes lead to satisfied tenants who are more likely to stay longer, reducing turnover costs.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥?
1. Create a Maintenance Schedule: Conduct regular checks on things like plumbing, appliances, HVAC, and electrical systems to catch issues early.
2. Invest in Preventative Maintenance: Regularly servicing your heating and cooling systems, cleaning gutters, and inspecting roofing can extend the life of these systems and prevent bigger problems.
3. Budget for Repairs: Set aside a portion of your rental income each month for emergency repairs or unexpected expenses.
4. Hire Reliable Contractors: Having a trusted network of contractors ensures you get the best service at the best price.

Pro Tip: Consider setting a maintenance clause in your lease agreement to define how repairs and maintenance will be handled between you and your tenants. Double check the RTA for what you as a landlord are responsible for and what a tenant is responsible for.

Key Insight: It’s always cheaper to fix things before they break! Stay proactive with maintenance to save money and headaches in the future.

🚨 Important Update for Landlords & Tenants! 🚨

Effective January 1, 2025, the annual interest rate landlords must pay on security deposits will change to 1%. Here's what you need to know:

🔎 What’s the Current Rate?
As of 2024, the interest rate on security deposits is 1.6% annually.

🔎 What’s Changing in 2025?
Starting January 1, the rate will drop to 1%, to be paid:

Annually (if the tenant remains in the unit).
Upon Move-Out (for the full duration of the lease).

✨ For Tenants:

This interest compensates you for the money held as a security deposit.
Be aware of your rights and ensure you receive the correct interest payment!

✨ For Landlords:

Mark your calendars and adjust your processes to comply with the new rate.
Regular compliance strengthens trust and avoids penalties.

💡 Why Does This Matter?

Security deposit laws are designed to ensure fairness, protect renters' money, and encourage responsible management of deposits.

Stay informed, stay compliant, and let’s work together to keep the rental process fair and transparent! 🏡

We highly recommend that when calculating the interest, you use Service Alberta's Security Deposit Interest Rate Calculator below.

🛑 Attention Landlords! Tenant Screening is Your First Line of Defense! 🛑

As a landlord in Calgary, one of your biggest priorities should be screening tenants properly. The right tenant can make your rental business run smoothly, while the wrong one can cause headaches and financial loss.

Let’s dive into how you can protect yourself with the right tenant selection. Here’s why tenant screening is crucial:
✅ Reliable Rent Payments: You want tenants who will pay rent on time every month.
✅ Less Risk of Damage: A well-screened tenant is less likely to cause property damage or neglect your property.
✅ Peace of Mind: The better you screen, the less likely you'll face legal disputes or evictions.

Here’s how you can screen tenants effectively:
1. Run Background & Credit Checks: These are essential to evaluate whether the tenant has a history of paying bills on time and respecting agreements.
2. Check References: Talk to previous landlords and employers to gauge reliability and honesty.
3. Verify Income: A tenant's ability to pay rent is directly tied to their income. Confirm their monthly income is sufficient to cover rent. Ideal Rent to Income Ratio should be between 30 -40%

But what if things go wrong?
Even with a thorough screening process, things can still go sideways. If a tenant stops paying or breaches the lease, make sure you understand the legal process for evictions in Alberta. Never attempt to remove a tenant on your own! Follow the Residential Tenancies Act carefully to avoid legal consequences or delays in evictions.

Key Tip: Always keep communication open with your tenants. Sometimes issues can be resolved before they become bigger problems. ✨

The Reality Behind Calgary's Slowing Rental Market

🌟 Calgary Landlords: Let's Talk Realities 🌟

The stats may show steady rental prices, but many landlords are experiencing a major slowdown in tenant inquiries. Here's the reality:

📉 Market Observations:

Rental inquiries have reportedly dropped by up to 75% in recent months, leaving units sitting vacant longer.

High competition and economic uncertainty are leading many tenants to delay moves or search for more affordable options.

💡 What Can Landlords Do?

1️⃣ Revamp Your Listings:
Refresh your property photos and emphasize features like parking, green spaces, or nearby schools to stand out.

2️⃣ Flexible Pricing:
Consider temporary discounts or offering perks like free utilities to attract attention.

3️⃣ Expand Your Reach:
Advertise on multiple platforms and target a broader audience, including students and professionals relocating to Calgary.

4️⃣ Adapt to Demand:
Enhance your property with in-demand amenities like energy-efficient appliances or pet-friendly policies.

🌟 Key Insight: While demand may slow, focusing on tenant experience and strategic marketing will keep you ahead.

Pfft, starting a little strong in this post but you would never guess this would be a thing for property managers to deal with.

#1. Dead Body - yup, this happens. Not all tenants are young or healthy. It doesn't happen often but when it does, it can be super shocking/sad to that property manager who placed that tenant and has been communicating with them regularly. Not to mention a headache if there is no will in place for a tenant. Waiting on who has authority to remove the tenants belongings can certainly be restrictive to re-renting the unit.

#2. Drugs - I can only say we are glad this has NOT happened at any of our rental properties. We are living not so vicariously through other companies property managers on this one. Walking in to do a midterm to find out, oh ... those are drugs on the coffee table.

#3. Sewer Backups - ick, these suck not just for the tenants but the landlords and property managers as well. 96% of the time, it is unfortunately caused by something going down the drain that shouldn't be.

#4. Rodents - pests can be common if a property is not maintained or a tenant leaves garbage around the property. Mice are not only unhealthy for tenants and the property but if they multiple it can be a disaster. Mice can chew away wiring for stoves, make nests in insulation and pantries. Our rental ready checklist and mandatory cleaning checklist is in place for all our rental properties, making it clear on what our expectations are for any rental property managed by AspirePeak Properties.

In this post we focused on professionally cleaning carpets as our Residential Tenancy Act in Alberta is clear on what can and cannot be charged back to a tenant.

As a licensed property management professional we update our landlords/owners about items happening in the industry. Whether those items have been long standing or changes/observations that could effect them in the future. The 1st topic, pests!🐁

Alberta laws have clear guidelines in place to ensure tenants can live in a clean and pest-free environment. Your lease can also play a big role in pests in the rental property. Sometimes pests can be because of human error, leaving the door open too long, not cleaning up after pets or leaving a garbage bag outside the back door. Tenants can be charged back the cost of the pest issue if the certified pest inspector deems it to be caused by the tenant and you have a clause in your lease.

𝐇𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑, keep in mind that the final decision on who should bear the cost may be made by an RTDRS (Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Services) Judge should a tenant dispute the charge. Take a look at our posts for further details on what a Landlord is responsible for with pests and what a tenant may be charged with.
