Key Legal Documents Every Canadian Landlord Must Have

房东必看!10份出租文件必保存,避免法律风险!

作为房东,保持组织良好、详细的记录是你的责任。

为了帮助避免潜在的法律纠纷和租客问题,务必将以下文件妥善保存:租赁申请、租客筛选文件、租赁或租房协议、宠物政策、欢迎信、入住清单、续租文件、退房信以及退房清单。

为什么房东需要保存记录

房东保存详细记录至关重要,条理清晰、策略性地保存文件能够帮助房东:

  • 更好地防范潜在的、可能带来重大损失的诉讼

  • 应对税务责任

  • 提升与租客的透明度和信任

10份出租文件房东须保存

1. 出租申请

租赁申请能让你了解潜在租客的详细信息,通常是筛选或拒绝申请者的第一步。要求租赁申请可以减少将不合适的租客入住你的房产的风险。

一份典型的出租申请包括以下内容:

  • 联系信息

  • 推荐人

  • 当前和以前的住址信息

  • 工作经历

  • 收入证明

  • 租客筛选授权,包括:

    • 信用报告

    • 驱逐历史

    • 犯罪记录

务必保存所有申请材料,包括被拒绝申请者的资料。保存文件的时间长度因联邦、州和/或地方法律而有所不同。

2. 租客筛选表格

许多房东认为租客筛选至关重要,它有助于找到更合适的租客。也就是说,在收集租赁申请后,你可能需要通过仔细审查所有文件来审查潜在租客。

租客筛选政策的一般原则:

  • 制定租赁标准(例如最低收入要求),记录这些标准,并对所有申请者一视同仁。

  • 保留一份预筛选问题清单,确保每位申请者都回答相同的问题。

  • 联系租客提供的房东推荐人和雇主,并准备好一份参考问题清单。

  • 通过可靠的服务进行官方背景调查,包括犯罪记录和在线租赁信用检查。

3. 出租协议

出租协议证明租客可以在指定时间内居住在某物业中,同时明确了房东和租客双方的权利和责任。如前所述,出租协议在未来发生纠纷时可以成为你的有力保障。

尽管具体租赁条款可能有所不同,但通常应包括以下内容:

  • 作为房东的角色、责任和权利

  • 租客的责任和权利

  • 租赁的日期和条款

  • 物业保护和租客的责任

  • 租金支付条款,包括租金支付时间和方式

  • 驱逐程序的相关规定

在BC省建议使用RTB官方的出租合同版本: Residential Tenancy Agreement

4. 租赁宠物政策文件

如果你的租赁物业允许养宠物,务必保存一份正式的宠物政策文件。租客应签署此文件,其中可能包括额外的宠物押金、宠物租金、清洁费用或宠物主人应承担的责任等内容。

5. 新租客欢迎信

欢迎信是你给租客的友好问候,同时也提供一些实用信息。欢迎信中可能包括以下内容:

  • 如何设置水电煤等公共设施

  • 如何购买租客保险

  • 如何领取钥匙

  • 如何使用洗衣设备/洗衣房

虽然这些内容简单,但欢迎信有助于租客顺利过渡,并促进房东与租客之间的良好关系。

6. 租客入住清单-Move in Inspection Report

入住清单有助于你跟踪物业的状况,并确保租客对入住期间发生的任何损坏负责。如果没有清单,退房后就会变成你说的与租客说的对峙。

这个租赁文件也能让租客安心,因为它确保你不会因为原有的损坏而收取费用。在租客入住时和退房时一起检查清单。这将有助于判断租客是否对物业造成了超出正常磨损的损坏。

7. 出租续约文件

租赁续约能帮助房东节省时间和费用,并带来许多好处,包括:

  • 省去寻找新租客的成本

  • 减少空置风险

  • 减少不合适租客入住的风险

  • 留住已经熟悉租赁条款的租客

在续约时要保持主动,提前询问租客是否愿意续签租约。

在BC省,固定租约期满后,租约会自动转为月租。如果不希望继续签订固定租约,则无需签署续租合约。

8. 退房信

如果租客计划搬出物业,在租约结束前你应发送一封退房信。这份文件明确租客搬出前的责任,并告知如何退还押金。

退房信应至少包括以下内容:

  • 清洁要求和期望

  • 最终租赁检查的日期和范围

  • 押金扣除情况

  • 如何和在哪儿归还钥匙

  • 重要提醒

  • 请求提供转交地址

9. 租客退房清单-Move out Inspection

租客退房清单明确了租客搬出时的物业状态,也是退还押金的依据。

10. 与租客的沟通记录

在你的租赁文件档案中,保留从租客申请入住到退房后的所有沟通记录。这些记录可能包括:

  • 邮件往来

  • 短信截图

  • 电话或面对面交流的日期记录

如果你需要对某次沟通提出异议,详细的记录将有助于保护你自己的权益。

Princess 谈房说地

作为房东,妥善保存租赁文件至关重要,能够帮助你应对潜在的法律纠纷、税务问题,并维持与租客的良好关系。

通过保持这些文件的完备,不仅能保护你的法律权益,还能确保租赁过程的顺利进行,减少不必要的麻烦和经济损失。

9 Dreamy Towns in BC You’d Want to Move to

BC省9个梦幻小镇,locals 称若有机会,他们会毫不犹豫搬去! 你呢?

探秘BC省 邂逅绝美小镇

分布在BC省各地的这些美丽小镇,拥有令人惊叹的景色,完美诠释了“美丽哥伦比亚”这个省份的名字。

尽管许多人为了工作或生活方式选择住在温哥华或维多利亚等大城市,但这些小镇却是吸引当地人离开都市、寻找宁静的理想之地。

我们向本地居民询问,如果有机会选择,他们会搬到省内的哪个地方?虽然像维多利亚、温哥华和坎卢普斯这样的城市也在讨论中,但最受关注的却是省内那些迷人的小镇。

显然,许多不列颠哥伦比亚省的居民被这些生活节奏悠闲、成本较低、且自然风光原始的地方深深吸引


温馨小镇 理想家园

以下是一些BC省令人惊艳的小镇,当地人称如果可以任意选择居住地,他们会搬到这些地方。

1. Comox

温哥华岛整体得到了许多当地人的推荐,但科莫克斯(Comox)是其中一个被特别提到的小镇。

它是位于Comox Valley中的一座迷人海滨小镇,距离Victoria约三小时车程,离Nanaimo仅一个小时。这个小巧却充满活力的市中心有精品店、酒吧和餐厅,四周被岛屿特有的美丽风光环绕。

2. Osoyoos

如果你希望每天都仿佛置身度假之中,那这个小镇便是你的理想迁居之地。

这里拥有加拿大唯一的沙漠以及该国最温暖的淡水湖。这座位于Okanagan Valley的风景如画的小镇,以其美景、温暖的湖水和独特的地貌而闻名。

小镇周边郁郁葱葱的葡萄园,使其成为葡萄酒爱好者的向往之地,也是温暖季节里的旅游中心。不过,这里全年都有令人叹为观止的山湖美景,这或许就是一些BC省当地人想将其作为永久家园的原因。

3. Sechelt

Sunshine Coast是另一个备受青睐的地区,其名字就暗示了该地区的美丽。

这里有许多社区,Sechelt是海岸边一个闲适的小镇,当地创意氛围浓厚。艺术家、小商家和探险爱好者汇聚于此,在该省最迷人的环境之一中,共同打造出一个丰富多彩的社区。

要前往Sunshine Coast,你可以从West Vancouver乘坐40分钟的渡轮到Langdale。一旦抵达并沿着海岸行驶,你很可能也会想要搬到这里

Gibsons也是这里一个值得一探的小镇,有着热闹的小社区和Sunshine Coast标志性的风景

4. Revelstoke

严格来说,Revelstoke是一座城市,但它却拥有你所向往的所有小镇魅力,这或许正是它如此吸引人的部分原因。

对于热爱户外运动的人来说,这里是绝佳之地。尽管它没有大城市的喧嚣繁忙,却能带给你所有渴望的刺激与激情。

这份榜单上的一些地方更侧重于让人放松,充满闲适氛围,而此地则以充分利用户外资源为傲,有野外滑雪、雪地摩托、狗拉雪橇、徒步旅行、攀岩等诸多活动。

这里周边的自然风光无与伦比,市区也有许多可做之事,比如逛农贸市场、光顾众多餐厅以及特色小店。

5. Tofino

Tofino并非鲜为人知的小众之地,但它无疑是周边最美的地方之一,不难想象人们为何想在此居住。绵延数公里的白色沙滩、古老的森林和无尽的美景,使其成为一片神奇的绿洲。

这座小镇遍布商店和餐厅,尽管夏季旅游旺季十分热闹,却仍保留着古朴的韵味。

当地人还提到了附近的Ucluelet镇,距离Tofino约40分钟车程。这里住宿费用稍低,游客也相对较少,但依旧能让你领略到西海岸的美景。

6. Hope

Hope距离温哥华约一个半小时车程,是一个远离都市喧嚣的理想去处,让你完全沉浸在大自然中。

小镇的市中心别具魅力,坐落在巍峨山峰之间,周围有许多值得探索的商铺。

这里的自然景色同样迷人,徒步小径、河畔漫步和郁郁葱葱的森林让人心旷神怡。Manning Park也很近,那里有闪亮的湖泊、更多壮丽的山景、隐藏在森林中的瀑布、野花覆盖的草地和露营地。

这个地方也是大电影的热门拍摄地,以其在《第一滴血》中的背景角色而闻名

7. Creston

这个小镇位于省内的Kootenay地区。山脉的景色美得像是走进了童话世界。漫步在小镇中心,你将被高耸的山峰所环绕,景色壮丽非凡。

这里的大自然近在咫尺,如果你向往的是带有经典西加拿大风光的小镇生活,这里无疑是理想的选择。

8. Salt Spring Island

这座小岛距离温哥华岛仅有短短的渡船航程,毫不奇怪人们会爱上它。沿路可见迷人的农场摊位,铺满薰衣草的起伏田野,还有大量本地商家,整个社区充满活力。

岛上还有细腻的海滩,晶莹剔透的海水更是为这片美景锦上添花。

Ganges是岛上的主要城镇,就坐落在海边,风景如画,仿佛是人们心中理想中的天堂

9. Whistler

Whistler是另一个知名景点,实至名归,备受赞誉。冬季时,凭借其山地地形和优质的滑雪条件,Whistler村成为热门目的地,而在淡季,它同样魅力非凡。

寒冷的月份里,人们在山上享受世界级的滑雪体验,夏天则可在湖中游泳、徒步、骑行山地自行车,探索周边绚丽的自然风光。

这些只是当地人重点提及的部分迷人小镇,而BC省幅员辽阔,美景无处不在。这些小镇的共同之处在于,它们虽小,却各有千秋。

宝藏小镇 心动之选

BC省遍布迷人小镇,当地人向往在此居住。像科莫克斯、奥索尤斯等,有的凭绝美海滨风光、独特地貌吸引人,有的因丰富户外运动、悠闲氛围打动人,这些小镇虽小,却以多样魅力满足不同生活追求。

PRINCES谈房说地

在快节奏的生活中,我们常常渴望找到一个宁静的港湾,而BC省的这些小镇,正如尘世中的世外桃源。

试想一下,漫步在Comox的海滨,海风轻轻拂过面颊;或是在Salt Spring Island的薰衣草田里,沉醉于芳香四溢的空气。它们没有大城市的喧嚣,却拥有最纯粹的自然之美和悠然的生活节奏。

无论是寻求内心宁静,还是被大自然的壮丽景色吸引,这些BC省的小镇都为那些渴望远离都市喧嚣的人们提供了理想的栖息地。

2025年BC省第一季度住房预测:价格和销量非同步

BCREA今日发布了其2025年第一季度住房预测更新。

住宅销量上升

预计今年MLS®住宅销售将增长14.3%,达到85,140套。到2026年,MLS®住宅销售预计将进一步加强,增加至87,670套。

市场风险

“全省各地市场在2024年底表现出显著的增长势头,”BCREA首席经济学家Brendon Ogmundson表示。“尽管我们怀着高度乐观的态度进入2025年,并期待市场活动的增加,但针对BC出口到美国的惩罚性关税的潜在风险为市场前景带来了显著的不确定性。”

 价格非同步

尽管新挂牌量相比去年明显增加,但2024年库存积累更多是由于住房销售的长期低迷所导致的。随着全省活跃房源回到较为健康的水平,我们预计市场能够吸收即将到来的销售活动增长,而不会导致价格的大幅上涨。

然而,在经历了一年的价格持平后,由于整体住房需求的强劲复苏,预计2025年全省房价平均将上涨4.5%。

Princess 谈房说地

延续2024年底的销售增长势头,BC省2025年住宅销售预计将继续上升。

然而,经济不确定性为市场原本乐观的前景蒙上阴影,房价与销售量增长并不同步。在此背景下,入市需保持理性,切勿盲目跟风。

Canada Rental Property Tax Guide: Which Expenses Are Deductible?

前言PREFACE 

在加拿大,出租物业的收入是需要报税的,无论是短期还是长期出租。根据加拿大税法,租赁收入被视为收入来源之一,必须在个人或企业的税务申报中列出。

尽管出租收入需要报税,但你可以抵扣与租赁物业相关的费用,从而减少应纳税收入

1.贷款利息 INTEREST
如果你为出租物业贷款,抵押贷款的利息部分是可以抵扣的。需要注意的是,只有贷款利息才能抵扣,而不是本金部分。


2. 地税 TAX
物业税是你每年支付给地方政府的税款,这笔费用可以作为出租物业的运营成本进行抵扣

3.保险费INSURNCE
与出租物业相关的保险费用(例如财产保险、房东责任保险等)也是可以抵扣的。

4.维修费 REPAIR

与物业相关的维修和维护费用(例如修理漏水、修复电气系统、清理外部区域等)是可以抵扣的。需要区分的是,维护费用(例如油漆、清理等)可以抵扣,但如果是进行改善(如增建房间或大规模翻修),则通常无法直接抵扣。

5.管理费 MANAGEMENT

如果你雇佣了物业管理公司来管理你的出租物业,那么支付给管理公司的费用可以抵扣。这包括收租、维护、广告等管理服务的费用。

6.公用事业费 UTILITY

如果你作为房东支付了公用事业费用(如水、电、气、垃圾清理等),这些费用是可以抵扣的。前提是这些费用与你出租物业的运营有关。如果租户负责支付这些费用,就不能抵扣。

7.广告费 ADVERTISEMENT

用于出租物业的广告费用(如线上广告、报纸广告等)可以作为业务费用抵扣。

8.专业服务费 PROFESSIONAL

如果你聘请了会计师、律师或其他专业服务提供者来帮助管理出租物业(如准备税务文件或租赁合同),这些费用是可以抵扣的。

9.交通费 TRANSPORTATION

如果你需要亲自去出租物业进行管理、检查或维修,相关的旅行和交通费用也可以抵扣。这包括油费、维修费用以及与出租物业相关的其他交通费用。

10.清洁费 CLEANING

任何用于物业清洁的费用(例如聘请清洁服务或购买清洁用品)也是可抵扣的。

11.折旧费CCA

你可以为出租物业的建筑和其他长期资产(如家具、设备等)申请折旧,也称为资本成本补偿(CCA)。这意味着你可以逐年将这些资产的价值损失作为费用抵扣。

12.租客损坏费 DAMAGE

如果租户对物业造成了损坏,并且你需要支付修理费用来修复这些损坏,这些费用也可以抵扣。

Princess 谈房说地 COMMENTS

出租物业必须报税,而且合理申报抵扣费用可以帮助你减少税务负担。

Vancouver Housing Market Report-December

Metro Vancouver housing market shows resilience in 2020


Strong December activity brought Metro Vancouver’s* 2020 home sales total in line with the region’s long-term annual average.


The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 30,944 in 2020, a 22.1 per cent increase from the 25,351 sales recorded in 2019, and a 25.7 per cent increase from the 24,619 homes sold in 2018.


Last year’s sales total was 2.8 per cent below the 10-year sales average.




“When the pandemic began in March, the housing market came to a near standstill. We knew, however, that shelter needs don’t go away in times of crisis, they intensify," Colette Gerber, REBGV Chair said. “The real estate community worked closely with our regulatory bodies and public health officials in the spring to ensure appropriate precautions and protocols were implemented so BC REALTORS® could help residents safely meet their housing needs."


Home listings on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver reached 54,305 in 2020. This is a 4.6 per cent increase compared to the 51,918 homes listed in 2019 and a 1.3 per cent increase compared to the 53,614 homes listed in 2018.


Last year’s listings total was 2.7 per cent below the region’s 10-year average.


“After adapting to the COVID-19 environment, local home buyer demand and seller supply returned at a steady pace throughout the summer, fall and winter seasons," Gerber said. "Shifting housing needs and low interest rates were key drivers of this activity in 2020. Looking ahead, the supply of homes for sale will be a critical factor in determining home price trends in 2021.”


The MLS® HPI composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver ends the year at $1,047,400. This is a 5.4 per cent increase compared to December 2019.


The benchmark price for apartments increased 2.6 per cent in the region last year. Townhomes increased 4.9 per cent and detached homes increased 10.2 per cent.


December Summary


REBGV reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 3,093 in December 2020, a 53.4 per cent increase from the 2,016 sales recorded in December 2019, and a 0.9 per cent increase from the 3,064 homes sold in November 2020.


Last month’s sales were 57.7 per cent above the 10-year December sales average and is the highest total for the month on record.


“Robust December sales outpaced long-term averages in what’s traditionally the quietest month of the year in real estate. This was part of an unusual seasonal pattern the market followed last year, which can be attributed in large part to the pandemic,” Gerber says.


There were 2,409 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver in December 2020. This represents a 51.7 per cent increase compared to the 1,588 homes listed in December 2019 and a 40.8 per cent decrease compared to November 2020 when 4,068 homes were listed.


The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 8,538, a 0.8 per cent decrease compared to December 2019 (8,603) and a 23.2 per cent decrease compared to November 2020 (11,118).


For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for December 2020 is 36.2 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 35.2 per cent for detached homes, 50.4 per cent for townhomes, and 33.1 per cent for apartments.


Generally, analysts say downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.


Sales of detached homes in December 2020 reached 1,026, a 71.3 per cent increase from the 599 detached sales recorded in December 2019. The benchmark price for detached homes is $1,554,600. This represents a 10.2 per cent increase from December 2019 and a one per cent increase compared to November 2020.


Sales of apartment homes reached 1,474 in December 2020, a 40 per cent increase compared to the 1,053 sales in December 2019. The benchmark price of an apartment property is $676,500. This represents a 2.6 per cent increase from December 2019 and is unchanged from November 2020.


Attached home sales in December 2020 totalled 593, a 62.9 per cent increase compared to the 364 sales in December 2019. The benchmark price of an attached home is $813,900. This represents a 4.9 per cent increase from December 2019 and a 0.1 per cent decrease compared to November 2020.

Vancouver Housing Market Report-November

Home sale and listing resurgence extends into the fall


Home sale and new listing activity remained at near record levels across Metro Vancouver in October.


The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that residential home sales in the region totalled 3,687 in October 2020, a 29 per cent increase from the 2,858 sales recorded in October 2019, and a 1.2 per cent increase from the 3,643 homes sold in September 2020.


Last month’s sales were 34.7 per cent above the 10-year October sales average and stands as the second-highest total on record for the month.



“Home has been a focus for residents during the pandemic. With more days and evenings spent at home this year, people are re-thinking their housing situation," Colette Gerber, REBGV Chair said. “Throughout this period, REALTORS® have been working to understand and adapt to the latest safety protocols so that they can continue to help the public meet their housing needs in a safe and responsible way.”


There were 5,571 detached, attached and apartment homes newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in October 2020. This represents a 36.7 per cent increase compared to the 4,074 homes listed in October 2019 and a 13 per cent decrease compared to September 2020 when 6,402 homes were listed. 


The total number of homes currently listed for sale on the MLS® system in Metro Vancouver is 12,416, a 1.5 per cent increase compared to October 2019 (12,236) and a 5.2 per cent decrease compared to September 2020 (13,096).


“With demand on the rise, homes priced right for today’s market are receiving attention and, at times, garnering multiple offers," Gerber said. "To understand the market conditions in your neighbourhood and property type of choice, work with your local REALTOR® to assess the latest MLS® housing market information."


For all property types, the sales-to-active listings ratio for October 2020 is 29.7 per cent. By property type, the ratio is 30.9 per cent for detached homes, 43.5 per cent for townhomes, and 24.9 per cent for apartments.


Generally, analysts say downward pressure on home prices occurs when the ratio dips below 12 per cent for a sustained period, while home prices often experience upward pressure when it surpasses 20 per cent over several months.


The MLS® Home Price Index composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver is currently $1,045,100. This represents a six per cent increase over October 2019 and a 0.4 per cent increase compared to September 2020.


Sales of detached homes in October 2020 reached 1,335, a 42.3 per cent increase from the 938 detached sales recorded in October 2019. The benchmark price for a detached home is $1,523,800. This represents an 8.5 per cent increase from October 2019 and a 1.1 per cent increase compared to September 2020.


Sales of apartment homes reached 1,570 in October 2020, a 13.4 per cent increase compared to the 1,384 sales in October 2019. The benchmark price of an apartment property is $683,500. This represents a 4.4 per cent increase from October 2019 and is unchanged compared to September 2020.


Attached home sales in October 2020 totalled 782, a 45.9 per cent increase compared to the 536 sales in October 2019. The benchmark price of an attached home is $813,000. This represents a 5.4 per cent increase from October 2019 and a 0.4 per cent increase compared to September 2020.

【加拿大商业地产】投资综述

加拿大一直以来都以丰富的天然资源,发达的科技,稳定的政府,对外开放的态度,优质的教育和高水平生活品质等吸引着来自全世界各地的移民和投资者来安家和投资,尤其是在多伦多和温哥华等人口密集的大城市成为投资热点。


而温哥华,用绝对优势天然气候和地理位置在过去的十几年里一直霸占着全世界最宜居的城市前十名成为大多数投资者的首选之地,这也让越来越越多的投资人投身于房地产行业中. 然而从2016年开始,由于BC省政府的宏观调控增加15%的外国买家税,以及随后在2018年又修改成20%和额外的投机税, 这让很多海外投资者不舍得放弃了温哥华市场。


然而,你知道吗?投资千万条,住宅投资却不是唯一条。在加拿大地产投资除了住宅房地产投资,还有商业地产投资, 而且商业地产投资是没有外国买家税!


什么是商业地产(CRE)?

 


商业地产(CRE)是专门用于与商业相关的目的或用于提供工作空间而不是居住场所的地产项目。通常,商业投资者将通过把商业房地产出租给商户收取租金来获取收益。商业房地产的种类繁多,从单个店面到大型购物中心应有尽有。


商业房地产包括多个类别,例如各种零售,办公场所,酒店和度假村,购物中心,餐馆和医疗保健所等。


关键要点


  • 商业房地产是指专门用于商业或盈利目的的房地产。

  • 商业房地产的四个主要类别包括:办公楼,工业厂房,多户出租和零售。

  • 商业房地产为投资者提供租金收入以及潜在的资本增值。

  • 与住宅房地产相比,投资商业房地产通常需要更多的投资经验和投入资金。

商业地产与住宅房地产共同构成了房地产的两个主要类别。住宅物业包括为人类居住而保留的结构,不得用于商业或工业用途。顾名思义,商业地产用于商业活动,而作为多单元租赁的出租物业也被归类为房东的商业活动。



根据功能,商业地产通常分四类:


  1. 办公楼

  2. 工业厂房

  3. 多户出租

  4. 零售



各个类别还可以进一步分类。例如,办公楼通常可以分为A级,B级或C级。


A级:中央商务区的高层建筑美学,年龄,基础设施质量和位置方面等方面代表了最好的建筑物。由专业公司管理,最高的租金。


B级:办公楼通常稍旧,租金不如A级建筑物具有竞争力。投资者经常将这些建筑物作为翻新目标, 使其恢复为A级。


C级:较旧的办公楼,通常超过20年,非核心地区,需要维护。通常针对重新开发。
