  1. Despite #BCNDP saying they’ve stopped #renovictions in #BritishColumbia they’re still very much happening. After a ruling from the Residential Tenancy Branch #RTB dozens of #Esquimalt #seniors are being kicked out in four months for the new owners to do renovations.

    Many of the #renters being displaced are #LowIncome, either on #disability or a #FixedPension. As a result, most of them can’t afford market rent, and fear they could be homeless.

    Because the new owner is doing renovations, not a total demolition, Esquimalt’s #Tenant Assistance Policy isn’t triggered. Any stronger policy is the #BCgovernment jurisdiction.

    “It’s time for the provincial government to actually stop this from happening. If they really want to stop renovictions, then they need to change the laws,” said Douglas King, executive director of #TogetherAgainstPovertySociety.

    King says what’s needed is a BC-wide #TenantAssistance #policy to better #ProtectTenants facing #displacement, but also to prevent #taxpayers from paying for the consequences down the line.

  11. 🇨🇦 “Renovictions” not just popular in Alberta. To do this to a blind 74 year old man? Shocking!
    Turner had lived in the building in Edmonton's Old Strathcona neighbourhood since 2009. In January, Turner received a notice stating that his rent was jumping from $870 a month to $1,500 a month. There is no cap on rent increases in Alberta.

  15. Without approval from the Landlord and Tenant Board, landlords in Ontario are only allowed to increase rent for most existing tenants according to the province's annual rent increase for inflation. The guideline is set at 2.5 per cent for 2023. AGIs allow landlords to tack on up to an additional three per cent per year for things like significant renovations or repairs.

  24. Do they think we are idiots? So the Cons put in a rent cap at 2% (temporarily) now have raised it to 5%, but the BIG issue is that landlords have a loophole big enough to drive a tandam 18 wheeler through -- "fixed term leases" mean the landlord cannot increase YOUR rent, but they can just refuse to rent to you again and charge a new tenant MUCH more... since no cap on "vacant" units.
