r/VancouverLandlords

I own a few rentals and I own a property management company. The amount of time that I waste on hearing sob stories is really starting to piss me off. It’s always the same shit spread out in a 20 minute conversation. 1. My last landlord was a SLUM LORD

2. Their credit report isn’t right and they’re contesting it

3. They just need a safe place for themselves and a billion kids

4. They get paid via Cash App and don’t have a real paystub.

5. Nothing that has happened to them is ever their fault.

Public Land Use Society (PLUS) has obtained records through a Freedom of Information (FOI) request revealing a “Foundation Agreement” negotiation process between the Tahltan Central Government and the Government of British Columbia involving land transfers, governance restructuring, and recognition of Tahltan Aboriginal Title and Rights across 11% of northwestern B.C.

Internal records identified Fall 2025 as a target for finalizing the Foundation Agreement, yet the public still has no clear understanding of what the agreement would establish or whether implementation is already underway.

More than 400 pages of records were withheld from disclosure, and PLUS did not receive any version of the Foundation Agreement itself. Yet following the November 2025 B.C. Cabinet and First Nations Leadership Gathering, Tahltan leadership publicly discussed finalizing a “Tahltan–BC Foundation Agreement” and expanding consent-based governance.

“Most British Columbians have no idea negotiations of this scope are even taking place,” said Warren Mirko, Executive Director of PLUS. “If large regions of the province are moving toward separate governance systems, with their own constitutions and title-based land authority negotiated largely behind closed doors, many people will reasonably view that as the gradual splitting of British Columbia.”

The Tahltan-asserted territory covers approximately 95,933 square kilometres, making it larger than Portugal, and slightly smaller than South Korea, according to government land-use planning materials.

Publicly available foundation agreements elsewhere in B.C. outline a transition toward independent Indigenous governance and the restructuring of Crown authority. Unlike treaties, these agreements may advance land-use authority and shared decision-making without the same formal public process or legislative framework.

The FOI records PLUS received do not clarify the extent of Tahltan Aboriginal title recognition contemplated under negotiations, but indicate Canada’s participation may ultimately be required, suggesting a separate political and legal framework emerging in northwestern B.C.

British Columbians are increasingly asking what other title-recognition arrangements may now be under negotiation across the province without public scrutiny, particularly following the Haida agreement. PLUS says negotiations involving governance and land-use restructuring across large regions of British Columbia should not proceed without meaningful public transparency and engagement.

I own one rental condo and after some ups and downs I feel very fortunate to have found a great tenant. My one major issue is the property management company. I am on strata so I see all their activity and it is so frustrating how incompetent they are. I know it’s not a great job but I’m just wondering if anyone has had good experiences with property management companies in Vancouver. Also wondering if you have found ways of working with them that helps to ensure things get done and done well.
