B.C. renters are more likely to face a no-fault eviction than the national average.
A new study from UBC on eviction rates across Canada is shining a light on the need for more rental supply throughout the province.
Approximately 85.4 per cent of reported evictions were no-fault evictions, compared to 64.7 per cent nationally. “There's a silver lining to this story: this data is a couple of years old but it shows we really need to keep this in mind, that we do have an issue in B.C. But, I do think that with the really promising signs of more purpose-built rentals getting built and also the changes that the BC NDP made to the Residential Tenancy Act, are signs that this issue is being addressed. We still have more work to do,” Jones said.
“We actually have a record number of market purpose-built rental units under construction in Metro Vancouver at this time and that's a trend that started since about 2015,” Bond said. “Vancouver, far and away, has the most important concentration of existing rental stock. That's largely a function of what was built many, many decades ago in this region. Most of that rental apartment construction took place in the City of Vancouver at that time and the city has continued to create important quantities of rental stock for the region,” Bond said.
