Vancouver council considers anti-'renoviction' motion

Within weeks, the provincial government’s rental housing task force is expected to deliver its final report, which could lead to major changes to B.C.’s residential tenancy legislation. And first, Vancouver city council is considering a motion this week intended to strengthen protections for tenants. Late into Tuesday night, Vancouver councillors heard from some of the 93 people registered to speak on the motion, put forward by Coun. Jean Swanson, seeking to protect tenants from “renovictions,” a term referring to landlords using proposed renovations or repairs to evict long-term tenants and bring in new tenants at higher rents.
