Why is it landlords need to be protected from all risks? They aren’t charities. Let’s help the co-ops and non-profits. Let landlords sell properties and exit.
Who could have predicted landlords complaining about the need to improve buildings for the safety of their residents.
„Wah i can only afford to buy a whole ass building (or multiple) and decide who gets to live in it, not install an ac unit to prevent people dying though“ landlords should be planning for upgrades like this instead of being content to let the building get shittier and shittier every year all while increasing rent at every chance.
So these private landlords want government handouts while they’re profiteering from a housing crisis? You can’t even make this up.
Laws change all the time. If they increase your expenses, it’s simply the cost of doing business. By their logic, should we also give handouts to car companies for adding seat belts?
We do need a temperature law. Tenants shouldn’t have to suffer in the heat or the cold. We have laws for people who work outside , we should have laws where they have to live as well.
“ building owners will need support for expensive and time-consuming upgrades“
– Sounds like a cost that investors will need to budget for.
As someone originally from Saskatchewan, this is ridiculous. Even the crappiest rentals will have a window shaker or floor air conditioner in a window. It’s a couple hundred bucks.
What you actually need to do is upgrade your windows, doors and building envelope to make your unit more energy efficient. Insulation keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. Awnings for windows are great too.
Seeing all these places that can’t handle what is considered a cool summer in Saskatchewan tells me you have been wasting money on heating for many years.
The article said the electrical system can’t handle 24/7 air conditioning. You need to insulate your building if you are having to do that.
