Developer/Renovicter Jon Stovall already stoking fears about #RealRentControlBC on @CBCStephenQuinn this morning, saying #VacancyControl will be 1 of "27 recommendations" the #RentalHousingTaskForce will make (1:48:00): bit.ly/2ywaJKP
He must be flaunting insider knowledge he enjoys w @bcndp b/c no info on the recommendations is public knowledge yet. BTW Stovall is president of Reliance Properties Ltd. - currently trying to mass renovict Berkley Tower tenants in the #WestEnd (ICYMI: bit.ly/2PpvPnS)
As the push for #RealRentControlBC ramps up, developers like Jon will want you to think that only developers can fix the #housingcrisis. We know first-hand that they actually help cause it w #renovictions & #demovictions and soaring rents #vanre

The election's over but the fight continues: we're launching a new campaign to bring REAL RENT CONTROL back to BC!

With real rent control landlords couldn't raise rents when tenants move out - a simple fix that would fight rising costs and renovictions!

Currently, BC has a form of rent control that allows landlords to raise rents 2.5% every year. But they can also raise rent as much as they want when you move out or are evicted. This drives up rents and encourages landlords to evict and renovict tenants! bit.ly/2q7gDgL
To protect renters, we need to pair this existing rent control measure with REAL RENT CONTROL (also called vacancy control).

Our tenant-powered campaign is calling on the provincial government and the @bcndp to amend the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA) to include vacancy control.
