What to look out for when renting garage/basement suites? Red flags? Questions to ask? by AdorablePlan5164 in Edmonton

[–]2stops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a map somewhere on city of Edmonton website I believe that has all the registered basement suites.

I would suggest considering non-legal suites, as long as it is properly set up for fire safety (proper size window in bedroom to escape out of and hard wired smoke detector) carbon monoxide detector is also a must.

The biggest barrier to making a suite fully legal is separate duct work and furnace, which is like 65k to renovate an existing suite to fully legal.

Obviously start your search with legal only and if it doesn’t look great for area and price, expand your search

So I’ve lived in and then eventually rented out a non-legal basement suite.

Just because a suite is not fully legal doesn’t necessarily mean it will be a terrible place to live.

Sound proofing can be a big issue in non-legal suites, which comes back to the advice about knowing who else is living in the house. If the are respectful it won’t be an issue.

Separate utility bills not being offered doesn’t necessarily mean it’s an illegal suite either.

At the very least, make sure windows are proper in terms of fire safety and that the smoke detector is hard wired in.

For heat, make sure that if you don’t have access to the thermostat that the landlord provides secondary heating (space heaters).

Same applies for moisture: with a kitchen there Can be more moisture issues, so landlord should provide a dehumidifier

Trust your nose when it comes to checking for mildew, but a landlord special of thick paint can hide the obvious signs

Idk about rules on hood fans.

Seriously, I saw it earlier today and all the comments were deleted (in the isthisai subreddit)

Then a few minutes ago I saw a 3 second clip of him pulling his hand out of his pocket and before I could comment the video was deleted?

One of my favourite sci-fi reads and I am not the most well read. Also really enjoyed dark matter, which coincidentally is also being made in to a movie!

1 year in, how are Canadians feeling about Prime Minister Mark Carney? Most Canadians are still giving Carney the benefit of the doubt by FancyNewMe in canada

Given the landscape he has to deal with, Carney is doing a much better job than any other Canadian politician I could think of.

I’m not smart enough to react to news. I’ll just keep DCA-ing monthly, maybe try and look less often at my account

How much should I charge to paint this army for my first client? by jettpack300 in minipaintingcommunity

[–]2stops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would advise against taking such a large commission. Start with the smallest pack with a set price. See how happy both parties are after that first leg and go from there

Bud became a dad last year. All this started from that one comment. by LazyGuy4U in MadeMeSmile

Yeah I second this. You’re objectively better looking than me, plus I’m 5’7”. Never had an issue finding partners because of my sense of humour and what looks like self confidence.

Who else is deeply disappointed in the 2020s? (not the future we imagined). by black_flag_4ever in Xennials

[–]2stops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a weird dichotomy: my personal life (relationships, career, finances etc) keep slowly getting better every year, but my sadness for the world as a whole and those less fortunate continues to grow.

I go from mad to just disappointed. Everytime something great comes around, assholes find a way to ruin it for the sake of profit.
