The only savings vehicle that has absolutely no tax liability is a TFSA. Your government pension--OAS or CPP--will be taxed. So, too, will your company pension plan.

And even your unregistered assets will incur a tax liability on the return they earn or on their sale if you make a profit. [2013] - Gail Vaz-Oxlade

This is a great way to get to know the applicant a bit more, but it is also very time-consuming and inefficient, especially if you don't live nearby.

Encourage the prospective tenants to complete the application before they leave. [2013] - Julie Broad
