VREP #417 | BC Residential Tenancy Chang...

Adam and Matt Scalena
About this episode

On April 2nd, 2024, the BC NDP announced amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act intending to protect tenants from evictions, lengthy rental disputes & rent increases when a minor is added to a household. But all new policy results in unintended consequences & in this case the consequences are far reaching.

LandlordBC CEO David Hutniak sits down this week with Adam & Matt to go over the policy changes in detail and spell out some of the major implications. What exactly is the provincial government proposing? How will it impact you as a tenant or a landlord? And how will this create new winners & losers in the Vancouver real estate market.

These changes are bigger than you think. Listen up!
