Whether you are new to real estate or have been in the game for a while, Kayla has some really great advice for all landlords out there.
Kayla Andrade is a wife, a mother, a landlord and now, an advocate. She prefers actions with tangible results rather than sitting back and ignoring the issues. Ms. Andrade has a long record of successfully guiding local and provincial landlords through many issues and policies. Many have noticed her motivation and advocacy skills. This strong commitment and dedication are how Ontario Landlords Watch was born, finally providing an avenue where Landlords could share their experiences and struggles. Over the years, this grassroots advocacy organization has built a solid foundation of supporters through their supportive services involving the rental housing market, the Residential Tenancies Act and the Landlord and Tenant Board legislation. This strong team has evolved to fight for the rights of Landlords and the plight of good Tenants and the heavily burdened Taxpayer. They seize every opportunity to meet with elected Officials, Taxpayers, Landlords and tenants to discuss solutions to the Housing Crisis.
