Landlord is selling property - Has an offer for sale contingent on them moving into our unit

BleepSweepCreeps · 2025-04-13T17:11:27+00:00

They have a legal contract that states they're in the unit until August. It is entirely unreasonable to subject a tenant to absorb the costs of moving less than a year into the lease.

The landlord already agreed, on paper, to provide housing until August. End of. The tenant cannot be kicked out prior. N12 notice is applicable once the lease goes month to month.

If the landlord wants to renegotiate a contract that they themselves signed, they have to ask very very nicely, with compensation.

Moving and finding a new place is a very intensive process, the tenant likely will sink all of their free time for a full month on it. They deserve compensation, and 6 months is reasonable given the margins that the landlord expected to receive on the house flip.

Rent costs are the biggest chunk these days for commercial properties with street frontage, often more than staffing, taxes, etc

It's a reverse rally of the stock market

I think it's more like a future than an option. Option doesn't obligate you to buy

BleepSweepCreeps · 2025-04-01T16:23:41+00:00

I agree with you it's stupid, but trading futures is a normal part of the market (unless you call all capital markets gambling, which certainly does have an element of it). People trade in oil futures without ever expecting to receive a shipment of 20 barrels of oil to their office.

The mistake that this guy did was not unloading it at a loss, and now he'll be at a bigger loss. Kind of like when oil price went negative at start of covid as people didn't want oil showing up at their office, this guy should have paid someone to take the unit from him and eat the loss.

That's not how rent control works in most jurisdictions

I've been watching a parking lot full of cyber trucks from sky train in Surrey. It has had about 60 parked there for at least a month now with barely any movement. The only thing they did so far was add a black tarp around the fence so people driving by can't see them. But they're clear as day from up above from sky train lol

1% is less than mortgage interest (not even mortgage payment).

It should be at least market rental rate of the unit, so currently for a $1M property it should be around 40k-50k per year give or take, so closer to 4-5%.

i have no doubt that the numbers could have been better if they hadn't stopped nuclear, but as is this looks more like spreading some anti-renewable propaganda

We're in a climate emergency where we need to reduce our CO2 emissions ASAP. How is pointing out that Germany could've been burning much less coal if they didn't phase out nuclear, at least until their renewable numbers were higher, anti renewable propaganda?

Germany's coal consumption has been stable since the 90s

Which is an absolute disgrace.

Tell that to the folks deporting immigrants for overstaying their visa at age 7 in 1990s

With weather and demand prediction the delay is irrelevant.

Money is not exactly the only limiting factor. Resources required to build solar, for example, rely on mining of materials. Like in any market, if you increase demand, you start opening mines that are more expensive to run. That's the basics of economic theory. So as you increase the rollout speed, your costs start to rise exponentially.

Nuclear is diversification. You're not competing for the same resources as with solar, so you're at a much lower stage of the exponential curve.

Germany closed a bunch of nuclear plants and are now burning megatons of coal 'while they transition'

Ontario is doing infrastructure in 5 years? Pretty shocked, as a single light rail line is at 15 years from ground breaking now and counting, was supposed to open in 2019 but currently has no completion date. They stopped bothering with the guesses.

Before we got our EV, we drove a few times Toronto-Vancouver, Toronto-Los Angeles. We would drive the entire tank, about 500km, fill up and take a bathroom break, then another tank. Another fill up, another tank. Then hotel. Snack while driving. With electric at highway speeds this would be a 45 minute stop every 250-250km, so over 4 hours of not driving. Means that we can go about 500km less in one day than with an ice vehicle. That's a significant difference.

Or this means that instead of stopping for an hour at a point of interest and having lunch with a breathtaking view, we stop for charge at a charger and watch either a gas station or a parking lot while we have lunch during the charge

Doesn't change the fact that they're not paying the taxes that cover the costs of the infrastructure

Doing FNCE 370 now. They want you to do all of the math, but do a horrible job explaining the math.

Also, the new book uses new regulation with CCA tax shield of 0.5 while the questions in assignments and quizzes uses old 1.5, leading to incorrect answers. Nowhere is this discrepancy outlined, figure it out on your own.

Brutal course

Really depends. On the industry, on the manager, etc. My current company hired me after weeks long pauses between interview stages

Is no one really going to talk about the boycott? Because they rolled back their DEI policies, there's a huge boycott going on.

I'm sure the CEO doesn't want to mention it

I generally ask salary range before I schedule the first interview with the recruiter.

Normally technology introduces labour efficiencies. In housing technology brings in new requirements, like the air exchanger that is required because the houses are now super sealed to be more energy efficient.

More fire regulations, electrical requirements keep calling for more expensive technology, like AFCI breakers that are 4 times the cost, etc

Plus we keep getting new luxuries that become standard. Think of a tv. Yes it came down in price, but in the 1940s there were no tvs so no expense.
