Premier David Eby says some landlords are tempted to use the ‘personal use’ rule as an excuse to evict long-term tenants paying lower rents and then will quickly rent the unit to people paying much higher market rates

The British Columbia government is making changes to rental laws, stopping bad-faith evictions, protecting families who add a child and helping landlords who have problematic tenants.

Changes to the laws would ban evictions for personal use in purpose-built rental buildings, like seniors buildings, force the landlord to live in the unit for a year and require the owner to use a new web portal to generate eviction notices.
