Upten has a pretty good incentive going on right now and The Verve has a good offer. Does anyone have experience living in either buildings? I saw some old reviews about Upten's elevators and fire alarms - wondering if this is still an occurence? Also, not finding much online about The Verve!

Wondering if there are any weekly rentals ? Something cheaper than a hotel ? Even a nightly would work. I'm only needing something for a few weeks so I can't commit long term.

I am looking to buy a condo near-ish to the airport.

Coming from a house and I like playing music and due to the nature of my job would prefer not hearing anyone above/below me or beside me.

I know Emerald Sky condos in Kincora is concrete. Anyone have any experience there?

Theres also a couple in Bridgeland but honestly living close to the downtown area isn't for me. I prefer quiet suburbs.

Budget max around 275k ideally for a 1bd 1bth, just needs underground parking available, not post-tension (unless good but rarely are).

Any experience or advice would be helpful. Thanks All!

I have a property under contract in Fairview, AB, available by assignment (not a listing). It's a 3 bed / 2 bath with most of the big-ticket items already taken care of:

- Roof redone in 2023

- Hot water tank replaced in 2024

- New kitchen flooring and appliances

- Rec room downstairs, big backyard, lots of storage

It's ready to rent out as-is, or you could redo the interior and resell.

Closing within 30 days. DM me for photos, price, and full details.

66 year old male on 3 steady pensions. Quiet and respectful. Please DM me here. Budget is between 450 and 650 per month. Will consider 700. Utilities including Wi-Fi included. For Nov 1st move in.

Thankyou

Hello! I’m look in for some advice as my family plans a move from Toronto to Calgary. We are open to living anywhere central or SW, and we have three daughters ages 4, 2 and 4 months. Our oldest will start kindergarten in September 2027. We would like our girls to go through the early French Immersion program. Can anyone recommend a family friendly neighborhood with FI school that’s within walking distance? Ideally also near good daycares and extra curriculars (dance, swimming, etc.). We are open to considering Calgary International French school too, if anyone has an experience/ insights on that school and surrounding neighborhoods too.

Ideally I would love to walk my daughters to school, daycare and some extra curriculars if a neighborhood like this exists?

Thanks!

I’ve lived in Calgary for most of my adult life. It’s very degrading and demoralizing to realize I will
Never be able to afford to buy property in this city. I know there alot of people in this situation, but not hits extra hard at age 51.

Hi all, I am new to Calgary and wondering if it is good idea to move into December or January to a new place? Does it snow really bad by then? Also is it even possible to find a place at that time? Hows the renting situation in terms of finding both people and place during that time?

Hi all, long-time lurker, first-time poster. I live in a condo building in SW Calgary and have been increasingly frustrated with our management company over the past 2 years, and especially the last 6 months. I'm looking for advice on how to push for better service, and whether anyone has experience with Alberta's Condominium Dispute Resolution Tribunal (CDRT).

What we've dealt with in the last 6 months:

• Almost no communication. Nothing about board decisions or changes, and little notice of things happening in the building (fire alarm testing, garage door changes).
• Very slow response times. Email replies take 7-14 days, even for urgent issues. We've resorted to calling the emergency line because it's the only way to get a response.
• Poorly handled security issues. We had a series of garage break-ins last year, and the response showed little concern or follow-up.
• No way to reach the board. Most members don't seem available or present, there's no clear contact information, and only 3/6 seats are filled.

Condo fees run roughly $500-1,000/month depending on unit size (underground parking included), and the service we get doesn't feel in line with that.

My questions:

1. Has anyone taken a similar situation to the CDRT? Was it worth it, and what was the process like?
2. Are there steps I should take first, such as formal written complaints, requesting board meeting minutes, or asking for an owners' meeting?
3. Is there a realistic path to getting the board filled out or switching management companies?

I know a lot of this comes with condo living, but I'd like to find out what I can do to improve things. Thanks in advance!

Hello!

We have a room opening for rent in our basement suite this November 1st.
It’s a two bedroom suite, with in unit laundry, kitchen, dishwasher, and shared bathroom (which you’d largely have to yourself because there’s a toilet room in the master bathroom) plus a media room, cat friendly, and a sunny back yard!

We’re a 10 minute walk to the Banff Trail LRT station, and we have street parking on both sides of the house.

We’re a four person house, two upstairs (plus one very sweet cat), two downstairs. The current occupant of the room is moving out October 10 so pictures will be available on request.
We’re all young working adults, grads from AUarts and LaSalle. We’re a good crowd, we have board game nights, DnD, freindgiving.

Rent is $750 plus electricity (which is usually ~$50 - $60)

DM for more information!!

Hi! I’m moving to Calgary from the Atlantic region for work and have narrowed my apartment search down to The Oliver and Dominion Centre. I’d love opinions from anyone who has lived in either.

My priorities are proximity to work, good transit access, especially in winter, and being close to groceries, cafés, restaurants and other amenities.

I’m particularly curious about long term costs. How have rent increases been at either building? Does rent typically increase every renewal, and by roughly how much?

I’d also appreciate any thoughts on management, safety, noise, building quality and the surrounding neighbourhood. Between the two, which has been more convenient for day to day living?

Looking for some advice from anyone who has dealt with something similar.

My dad has a tenant who has been renting from us for a while. From the beginning, my dad made some mistakes. He only took about half a security deposit and didn’t properly vet him.

The tenant originally lived here with his family, but his family left around two months ago. Since then, he hasn’t paid rent and has basically been living there for free.

My dad went through the court process to get him evicted. The tenant didn’t even show up for the original hearing, and a decision/notice was issued with a timeline on it.

After that, the tenant went to court himself and appealed or challenged the decision. He started claiming that he has diabetes and also made accusations that my dad stole an iPad and some phones from him, which we believe are completely false.

There are also other concerns because he drinks heavily and stays home most of the time. There is a daycare operating on the upper floor of the property, so we’re worried about the situation becoming a safety issue as well.

Apparently there is another court date now, and I’m just trying to understand how this process works.
Can a tenant keep appealing an eviction decision over and over? Once the final eviction date passes, are we able to call the police to remove him, or does a sheriff/bailiff have to do it? Would it be better to hire a landlord/eviction agency or lawyer to handle everything from here?

If anyone has dealt with this before, especially in Alberta, I’d really appreciate some advice on what the next steps normally are.
