While the geography of private rental real estate investment knows no boundaries, the Canadian policies that oversee the management of these properties remain province-specific. Thus, while corporate landlords operate under national investment strategies, they naturally come into conflict with provincial policies that dictate what these companies can or should do. This thesis examines the relationship between these policies and private rental investment corporate strategy. It focuses on three large-scale property companies, and traces how their investment and management decisions are shaped by the distinct private residential rental policies of Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia. Studying the annual reports of these companies while extensively interviewing tenant advocates in Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver, the findings demonstrate that these landlords make a conscious use of differing policies in the three case study cities. The policies most used by corporate landlords are grouped and described in detail as follows: rent increase measures, eviction, and building and maintenance. This work demonstrates that corporate strategy for these companies is informed by the nuances, administration, and effective implementation of provincial rental policies. Additionally, this research provides a starting point for a comparative analysis of provincial landlord-tenant policies, in describing their use by corporate landlords.
