On May 1 the BC government's new short-term rental rules come into effect and could impact almost 19,000 homes according to their data. Their goal is to return some of these units to long-term rental supply. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

@StatCan_eng has just released a new report on evictions in Canada, which shows that #evictions are on the rise. Mirroring BSH research, evictions for sale, landlord-use or renovation are now the top reason for eviction, not non-payment of rent. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…

Metro Vancouverites spend more than 60% of their income on rent. The report blames "supply". What about landlords who set the price? Evict people to get higher rent? We need real rent control in BC to end price gouging for shelter. vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/04/12/met…

Prime Minister Trudeau and Finance Minister Freeland invited us to discuss the rental housing crisis last week. We took this opportunity to advocate for more meaningful policy interventions like vacancy control and RTA expansions. Read more: tenants.bc.ca/blog/advocatin…

Big news for tenants in BC: landlords will no longer be allowed to increase rent for folks who have a baby or if a minor moves in with them. They're also introducing a portal system for landlord use evictions. Globalnews.ca globalnews.ca/news/10397258/…

We hope the federal gov't's proposed "renters bill of rights" continues evolving and drawing lessons from bolder policies across Canada. Landlords evict tenants for financial gain, and we can better regulate this. vancouversun.com/news/local-new… via @VancouverSun

You know tenancy laws in BC are bad when landlords in Ontario are petitioning their government to be more like us. We regularly hear from #tenants who say their landlord lied about giving an #eviction notice in order to get an Order of Possession. cbc.ca/news/canada/to… @CBC

BC gov't has just scaled back the rights of tenants in "supportive housing" by exempting the right to quiet enjoyment and guess access. Tenants need more rights, not fewer. vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/bc-… via @VIAwesome

As landlords continue to overcharge tenants and abuse eviction notices, tenants are forced to jump through increasingly absurd hoops just to secure outrageously overpriced housing. cbc.ca/news/canada/re…

Landlords are trying to pressure our government to increase allowable rent increases and more easily evict tenants at a time when rents and evictions are some of the highest they’ve ever been. We need robust policy that protects tenants, not profits. globalnews.ca/news/10350366/…

"20 to 30 per cent of Canada’s rental housing stock is owned by institutional investors." Many of which get financing from banks with acquisition plans relying on rent increases and evictions. globalnews.ca/news/10297167/…

NEW - The BC Greens are calling for vacancy controls that caps the allowable rent increase (a max to 3.5%) landlords can charge when one tenancy ends and another begins. @SoniaFurstenau said last year properties in Victoria that became vacant saw an average 40% increase in rent

The @CMHC_ca blames "increased demand pressures" caused by "high population and employment growth" for high rents rather than landlords who set prices because of weak regulation. @globalnews thank you for talking to experts about the need for rent control. globalnews.ca/news/10263307/…
