"So many prospective “Mom and Pop” landlords want to help provide housing but are worried about unexpected problems, like unpaid rent or damage. We’ll give them the support and confidence they need to keep renting out their units through subsidized insurance that protects against unpaid rent and damages, offers legal advice and more." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

"Protect BC’s existing stock of rental housing by replenishing, as needed, the Rental Protection Fund that non-profits can use to buy and protect affordable rental housing for the long term, so people don’t have to be afraid that their homes are going to be sold out from under them to speculators or large corporate real estate companies." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

"We’ll end the bias against pet owners — which impacts young people, seniors and people with disabilities most. This move will also bring down the rate of pet abandonments across the province, as renters no longer have to make the difficult choice between the housing they need and the pet they love." — An Action Plan for You, retrieved 2024-10-07

"Unlike condominiums, rental buildings pay-back builders over a timespan of 50 to 60 years – but the costs are front-loaded. The successful MURB tax incentive program (Multi-Unit Residential Building) from 1974-1982 created a strong supply of rental housing by allowing costs to offset taxable income from other sources.

A housing crisis calls for bold, creative solutions. The Conservative Party of BC will:

1. Introduce real tax incentives for rental construction: We will work with the federal government to reintroduce a MURB tax incentive program for the 21st century. If Ottawa doesn’t play ball, we will introduce a made-in-BC version."
