If you want to work as a real estate agent then a college degree itself won't help you much (unless it is super impressive sounding) so if you are paying for it I'd recommend . . . not - and if you are not paying for it then study accounting or law.If you're hoping to work in development or want to be "hands-on" in renovations then you may find a specific degree in those fields will be helpful -- Real Estate Development is a degree at some universities (like University of Utah, among others) and for contracting a Mechanical Engineering degree would be a boon.If I can be of any help to you in this processing I'd love to interact -- feel free to PM me!

Account Closed question about tenant rights and lease duration

Hello, i currently own a student rental in Kingston Ontario, renting to university students. i'm using a property manager to manage the lease/maintenance, as i reside elsewhere.the property is currently leased to a group of 4 students, from May 2019-April 2020. as of right now, the students have not committed to another 1-year lease (May2020-April2021). i asked my property manager to secure another 1 year lease, either with this group, or with another group.however, the property manager told me that the students have decided to continue on a month-to-month basis. as in, i can't force them to leave when their lease expires (May 1st 2020) in order to make room for another group of students.i'm a little mad because this screws up the leasing schedule for student rentals, students typically sign for 1-year periods starting in may and ending in april the subsequent year. my question is, is the property manager correct in saying that if the students decide to continue month-to-month, i can't kick them out when their lease expires?
