FE Magazine and Bulletins
FRPO is always updating the membership on current issues in the rental market and on the lobbying efforts of the organization through a regular magazine, FE (Fair Exchange).

Legal and Business Forms
All FRPO members have the opportunity to purchase a Multi-Residential Tenancy Agreement and Application form. FRPO partnered with other industry associations to retain the law firm Cohen Highly to prepare a lease that is in accordance with the new Residential Tenancy Act. FRPO also provides a Multi-Residential Standard Privacy Policy Kit specifically designed for the property manager or owner to all of its members for a nominal fee.
Natural Gas Program
As a benefit to our members, FRPO established a direct purchase program in 1990. From an initial annual volume of just over 20 million cubic metres of gas, the FRPO program today contracts for approximately 85 million cubic metres. FRPO members participate in the program in every region of the province and within the franchise territory of all utilities.
The program continues to achieve its two main objectives by keeping prices low and stabilizing costs. Over the past seventeen years, FRPO gas plan members have earned several million dollars in savings from this program.
