Victoria asks B.C. to clamp down on no-fault evictions, rent increases
The people running B.C.’s capital city are hoping higher levels of government will act on pleas to camp down on no-fault evictions and improve rental opportunities for British Columbians.
The resolution asks the province to explore ways to rapidly increase the rental stock, at least in major urban centres, and especially for those in core housing need. The resolution also hopes to mitigate no-fault evictions by giving the Residential Tenancy Branch more resources, investigating rent increases, increasing compensation owed to tenants and regulating price increases between tenancies.
The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation found that someone moving into an average Greater Victoria two-bedroom apartment in 2022 would pay 33 per cent more in rent than what a tenant in an occupied unit of the same building was paying.
