As a tenant, I refused to even look at properties that I knew were managed by third-party rental companies. A lot of them aren't very good (and are used to treating tenants with suspicion) and I don't want visitors to see a sign on the property instead of a normal front entrance, even though there's obviously multiple units on my side of the building. I understand the need for some kind of way to find out (perhaps a map online) but to me as soon as I see that kind of sign I go "potential problems here!"

Makes sense, Meridith. Online if nothing else. Something I think a Real Estate agent would be encouraged to share with potential home owners. IF they want repeat business, anything they can do to ensure a home owner is happy with their purchase I think would bode well for them.

Subsequently, a welcome package for every new home owner form their councillor or ward residents association perhaps, would be a nice touch.

  • Welcome to the neighborhood. Here are some numbers and websites that you should be made aware of. Now what's going on in your neighborhood, and what all makes up your neighborhood.

That sort of thing, but it should be readily available and commonly shared knowledge.

The only argument that I have is that only availalbe 'online' is not neccesarily acceptable - yet. Many from the older generation simply do not know their way around a computer and I am not totally sold that they should have to buy into this 'information age'.
