What Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust does

Owns and operates multi-family rental apartment communities, concentrated in Alberta and other Canadian provinces.

Earns rent on apartments let mostly on short leases, and Alberta has no cap on rent increases, so it can reprice units as tenants move, tying results to the province's population and job market. Units in provinces with rent limits earn less flexibly. It manages its buildings itself under the Boardwalk Rental Communities name.
