That’s fine for purpose builtvrental units. But there are hundreds of thousands of units that are not multi-family dwellings in this province (1.4 million BC residents rent).
You can not tell every owner that effective immediately the space they are renting is now rentable in perpetuaty to their existing tenant.
As with a lot of things, this NDP Government that we did not elect comes up with ideas first then onlybthibks them through much later.
Why only for purpose-built rentals? People renting out their suites have the same residential tenancy agreements as a professional operation and they can manage them the same way.
But yeah, the legislation as envisioned cannot possibly survive a thorough assessment. The only equitable option is to allow all fixed-term leases to terminate, and if the landlord/tenant wish to carry on they can sign a new fixed-term lease that will switch to month-to-month if the tenant so desires or go their separate ways.
