South Okanagan Rentals Property Management's blog

Welcome to the Wine Capital of Canada; Oliver, British Columbia!

The community is well located only 25 minutes from all the amenities in Penticton and 20 minutes from the beach activities of Osoyoos. The town boasts its own hospital, gyms, outdoor pool and hockey rink.

Oliver also offers quite a few restaurants. Both in town and at the neighbouring wineries. Be sure to check out Terrafina Restaurant, The Burrowing Owl, and Miradoro at Tinhorn Creek for amazing cuisine and stunning vistas: 

The professional organization I am associated with, LandlordBC, has long advocated that both landlords and tenants should be allowed to use email as a method of service for serving documents such as 2 Month Notice to End Tenancies, Eviction Notices and Rental Increases.

I strongly agree with this new policy. An abundance of time being a property manager is spent at the post office sending documents via registered mail. This postal route is also an expensive way of issuing notice to tenants.

Liability claims, hotel fees, and the cost of replacing your belongings in instance of theft or fire are very important items that a tenant’s insurance policy will cover. Many tenants do not realize that their landlord’s insurance policy does not cover their persons from these instances occurring.

The Insurance Bureau of Canada states that about half of Canadian renters do not have proper insurance coverage.

Owning just one rental property can have a myriad of benefits for a landlord both short and long-term. 

We all wish for passive income and multiple income streams. By hiring a great property manager to manage your investment your income will become even more passive and hassle-free for years to come.
