For rental income, does it matter who's taxes that goes on? Am I able to put it on my wifes income tax, since she makes less than I do? (We're both on title for the house)

I think you need to talk to your real estate agent and lawyer who handled the buyer/seller agreement.

(We're both on title for the house) | Since you’re both on the title, you’re supposed to split the rental income in your taxes. Unless there’s a reason one person owns more than the other, the rental income would be split 50:50.

ScotiaBank's increased their fixed rate from 3.99% to 4.99%, curious what their rate is negotiated. https://www.scotiabank.com/ca/en/per...osed-term.html

I'm trying to work on my personal tax return. I am worked from home all of last year, and trying to claim the detailed methodology. I lived at my parents most of the year until October before I moved out when I took possession of my new place. I gave the parents a little bit of money each month (aka spending money or rent, whatever you want to call it). Can I claim this "rent" on my tax return for WFH, or no due to non-arms lengths relationship?
I'm a bit cautious since I can't remember if there was any question on the principal residence/speculation tax with CoV they submitted, had anything about the home usage. I also pay for the internet for my parents (account under my name), so ideally would like to claim the detailed approach versus simplified capped at $500.

you should be able to claim the 400$ without any extra paper work.
if you need to claim internet and other expenses related to WFH, and your employer doesn't reimburse you for the expenses, you will need your employer to submit a form I think its T2200 and you need to complete another form.
I looked at this very breifly when i was submiting my expense for work and they decide i can just submit all my expenses and the comapny will reimburse me for whatever i spent in full

I guess I will wait 5 days and call RTB to see if they have filed a dispute, and then proceed with the eviction steps.

Didn't you serve notice that landlord will be moving into the unit? They can't extend if owner will be moving in themselves

I believed we had a member with this issue in this thread before or they got a bad stall assigned to them. https://vancouver.citynews.ca/2022/0...g-stall-small/
Summary:
Vancouver parking stall measures at 2.1 metres wide -- under the 2.3 metre minimum requirement
City of Vancouver says it's looking into the matter
Developer tells CityNews it has 'verified that the parking stall meets (and exceeds) the dimensional requirements'
Vancouver problems...but as a car enthusiast 
This is Wesgroup so probably the same with almost everything down at River District (maybe this story is at RD?). I went to that Shoppers Drug Mart once, wow the spots were small!

Even when I go to the Save-on-foods public parking when I grab groceries, the stalls are small as fk too.

Costco doesn't care about maximizing efficiency when it comes to parking because they value customer service over the efficiency of capital.

I went to that Shoppers Drug Mart once, wow the spots were small! | Yep, RD x Wesgroup problems. My stall is 2.39m wide, inclusive of the parking lines but adjacent to a wall with columns sticking out. Required width should be 2.6m. I procrastinated messaging Vancouver 311 but finally sent a message to see if there's any possibility for an inspection.

That's my thought exactly.
I don't know about regulations but look at the gap between front wheel and column, looks like it could fit.
