Canadian Landlords Are Leaving Money (and Protection) on the Table
If you own a rental property in Canada, you already know the margins are tight and the rules are tighter.
Should you claim that kitchen redo as a repair? Is your discounted lease to your nephew going to tank your deductions? Can you write off that HELOC interest or will it backfire?
These aren’t one-off questions. They’re the daily decisions that shape your long-term return, and they’re exactly where many landlords go wrong.
The good news? You don’t have to guess. We’ve put together a free, no-fluff guide to help you make smarter calls, avoid expensive missteps, and run your rental like a pro.
No theory. Just sharp, practical strategy. Here’s what you’ll unlock:
Repairs vs. Capital Costs Understand the line and how getting it wrong can cost you thousands.
Renting to Family Discover what it takes to claim deductions safely (hint: good intentions aren’t enough).

This guide was written specifically for Canadian landlords who want clarity, not confusion, when it comes to taxes, compliance, and long-term property performance.
