More supports rolling out to protect renters, new tool coming online
British Columbians renting their homes will be better protected from bad-faith evictions.
A new online portal will be launched on July 18, 2024, to protect renters from being evicted in bad faith, as well as bringing in improvements to the process for landlords.
“With this new tool, we’re taking action to better protect tenants from being evicted under false pretences and ensure that landlords who need to legitimately reclaim their units have a straightforward pathway to do so,” Minister of Housing Ravi Kahlon said.
“The portal will also provide government with a window to better understand when and how often these evictions occur so that we can continue to build on our work to improve services for renters and landlords.”
