Upcoming webinar: Hovel to Haven: AHS Housing Standards
Date: Wednesday, November 27 | Time: 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
Property managers and REALTORS® often encounter unusual features in homes that may raise concerns. They might ask themselves, “Is it safe to have security bars on all these windows?” or “Shouldn’t there be a railing in that stairwell?” They might even wonder about a peculiar spot on the ceiling and if it relates to an unusual smell.
These are all valid questions that real estate professionals should consider when assessing a new property. Given the importance of minimum housing standards and safety for Calgarians, it’s crucial for all real estate professionals to be able to identify these red flags in properties.
Understanding Alberta’s Housing and Health Standards is vital to ethical practice for property managers and other real estate professionals. Issues with tenanted properties can arise throughout the lease term, and it is important for all property managers and REALTORS® to face these problems with housing and health standards head-on.
Failure to deal with or remedy problems may result in an Alberta Health Standards (AHS) inspector knocking on the door of your rental property.
In the Hovel to Haven: AHS Housing Standards Webinar, Darcy Chrisp & Karen Clarke from AHS will be covering topics like
- The purpose of housing inspections,
- An overview of the minimum legislative requirements for safe rental housing in Alberta and
- Exploration of the various enforcement tools available to AHS to ensure landlords maintain safe housing in Alberta.
