ISO Female roommate to join lease May 15
Hi everyone! I (F20) am a student at Vanier College, looking for a roommate to sign a lease with. There’s this new building that I’m super interested in! It’s a spacious 2x1 with plenty of sunlight and the kitchen was renovated just this year!
- Location: Le Plateau Mont-Royal
- Rent: $375 ($750 total)
- In-unit washer/dryer
- No smoking
- Unfurnished, willing to split cost on shared areas like the living room
- Preference for someone who I can be friends with, but happy to be just friendly
- Looking to create a clean, calm environment
Message me at ***-******* and we can set up a tour with the landlord! Preferably this week

I (22M) am a first time landlord. Any tips?
Questions/Advice
Like the title says. I recently bought a three story condo with four standard units and a penthouse in Montreal. I live in the penthouse, but want to rent out the other units for passive income. There’s a retail space on the first floor too. Would appreciate any advice!

I see why you’d think this, but the money is earned by me! Fortunate to have a high-paying job and good side gigs.

Hey! Good to see a young person interested in investment and property. Don’t listen to the haters, they’re just jealous. As a landlord of 20+ years, here’s my beginner’s tips to managing a building:
- Use lawdepot.ca for free contract templates, and tenant.chekr for cheap background checks.
- Keep good track of your documents! General good business practice. I have a filing cabinet at home dedicated to all things property-related, and make sure to organize it once a quarter.
- Have a reliable set of contractors you can call on at a moment’s notice. It’s tempting to save a quick buck by doing everything yourself, but it’s truly not worth the headache when your tenant calls at 3am on a work night about their heater. Or if you go on vacation.
- Same goes for taxes. You’l think you can do it all yourself at first, but trust me, you can’t. Get a good accountant.
- Maintain a good relationship with your tenants. The less reason they have to complain, the less often they bug you. I try to respond to all messages within 48 hours
- That being said, you’ll always have at least one problem tenant. Fact of life. Try to keep things civil, but don’t be afraid to evoke your rights if needed. I find that as soon as I start bringing up eviction, things magically resolve themselves. And if not, then I evict the annoying tenant. Best of luck! This is a long term investment that will pay dividends down the road. Wish I had the chance to start as early as you have!

I (23M) think my tenants may be unionizing against me
Questions/Advice
Hi all, I (23M) think my tenants may be forming a union against me. They emailed me yesterday about a noise complaint from the penthouse floor. The issue is, I’m the one who lives on the top floor. So they’re complaining about me.
If they actually unionize, would they be able to kick me out of my own building? Thanks for any insights.
