Rent and evictions platforms

Here's what the 2020 BC election parties are promising.

BC NDP

  • Freeze rents to the end of 2021 and capping increases after that.
  • Provide a renter's rebate of $400/year for households earning up to $80,000 annually that are not already receiving other rental support.

BC Liberals

Implement a short-term commercial-rent relief plan that flows relief directly to tenants and supports small businesses unable to access current relief programmes.

BC Greens

Introduce a rental supplement to close the cap between affordable rent and what renters actually pay and introduce means-tested grant that applies to low and moderate income earners who are paying more than 30% of their income in rent.
