Some highlights include:

  • Reducing the minimum required notice for a landlord to terminate a lease from 4 months to 2 months
  • Increasing the maximum pre-approved annual rent increase from 3% to 10%
  • Allowing a landlord to give a tenant a 5 day eviction notice if the landlord requests entry and the tenant refuses (for any reason) without rescheduling within 5 days
  • Almost all provisions call for tenants to be responsible for some amount of payment directly to the landlord as well as an up to $5000 fine

The MLA behind it has a google form there’s a feedback form that people can submit feedback here, I highly recommend people take the time and fill it out. Whether you oppose the proposals or not, this is something the wider public should be weighing in on.

      It’s worth noting that he is a landlord, as are a significant number of MLAs in the provincial government. He is actively trying to use law to enrich himself.

        Ironic considering the first item in the document is complaining about a conflict of interest.
