Lobbying 

Together we have a stronger voice! HDAA is connected to FRPO and CFAA (the provincial and Federal associations) in their efforts to change laws and help you understand issues effecting Property Owners.  Do you know what changes there have been to legislation?  Do you have questions about the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA)?  Were you among the first to know when the city was looking at licensing? Become a member and have us find out what changes are happening now and in the future so you don’t have to.

Lease Package

HDAA members can purchase the additional “Terms & Conditions” package created to ensure that a more comprehensive Lease Agreement is available for Landlords to help protect them in a variety of situations. You may find more information on the package here.

  • Licensing (Will it become reality?) 

  • Regulations (What most Property Managers are not aware of)

  • Changes to the Fire Code

  • Energy Savings

  • Retaining Residents 

  • Financing (What kind of Mortgage is right for you?)

  • Efficiency Programs (How much money are you leaving on the table?)
