How does a certificate of deposit work and what amts can you purchase?

A Fixed Deposit or a Certificate of Deposit is a special type of deposit account that can be opened by any customer. The customer will deposit a large sum of money with the bank for a predetermined period of time (Usually in months or years). The bank will offer a good interest rate to the customer for parking his/her money long-term with them. The customer wouldn't break his deposit mid term and keep it until maturity because if he does so, he will be charged a penalty for doing so. In terms of amount - you can purchase any amount you want. The only thing the bank might ask if you deposit huge sums of money is "source of income" and if you provide that, the bank will be willing to accept a deposit of any amount.

How can a tenant obtain insurance that covers damage his carelessness caused to the property he rents?

It's usually called a "Floater Policy." When renting you should always get a damage deposit from the tenant and if they leave your suite in ruins at least your insurance will pay for it. You have the right to give 24 hours notice to your tenant (by letter) stating that you will be inspecting the suite. If you haven't prepared yourself with a "Floater Policy" or obtained a damage deposit from your tenant then I'm sorry to say the cost will be yours unless you go to small debts court and it may not be worth your time. Before renting again take a picture of the suite with the date on the picture (use a video camera if possible) get the damage deposit and do a 4 months inspection (giving 24 hours notice.)
