Landlord Survey/Questionnaire

Landlord Survey/Questionnaire
WHO IS A LANDLORD? Anyone who receives payments to have individuals live at a property they own or manage. Payment may come from any source (i.e. individuals, Yukon Social Assistance, Indian Affairs (DIA/INAC/CIRNAC), rent supplements from a variety of agencies) and can be for various types of accommodations (i.e. rooming house, community care homes, individuals with a room or basement apartment, condos, duplexes etc.).

Does this sound like you? If yes, we need your help and input! We would like to learn more about Whitehorse Landlords in order to make our community stronger.

This survey should only take 5-10 minutes. and one lucky landlord who completes the survey will be entered to win $200 gift certificate to the building supply store of your choice. (You must be a landlord as defined above to be eligible to win the prize).

What is the issue? In the middle of a critical shortage of safe, affordable rental units, it is necessary to engage local landlords in the promotion of successful tenancies which benefit people who need rental housing as well as those who provide this important service. We aim to gather further input and ideas from this anonymous survey to assist us in developing a community-wide landlord engagement strategy.

Your time is valuable so we would like to thank you for taking a few minutes to share your ideas about what it is like to be a landlord in Whitehorse.
