Letter to the editor
I’ve read a number of articles and other letters to the editor regarding the housing situation here in the Columbia Valley.
I believe that the situation is mostly due to the current landlord/tenant policies. There isn’t much in them to protect the landlord.
If you have a delinquent tenant, it can take up to 18 months to get that tenant removed during which time the landlord is incurring that additional cost. That’s 18 months of no money coming in and potentially additional money going into repairs. Would you want to be in that position?
