New Westminster could have the first municipal bylaws in B.C. that would impose restrictions and fines for renovictions.

City council is looking for input on plans that would:

- introduce new business licensing requirements to prohibit renovictions

- bring in a policy to slow the redevelopment of older purpose-built market rental buildings

- create a tax exemption to incentivize the maintenance and protection of existing rental buildings
