Housing insecurity and increasing uncertainty for renters have a very real impact on those most vulnerable in our communities.
Over the weekend, multiple clients reached out distraught about the provincial government's new Bill 60. We've repeatedly heard that without affordable and supportive housing, they may not be here today.
As an affordable housing provider, we were deeply concerned to see many of the items included in this proposed legislation, which would introduce sweeping changes to residential tenancy laws that would further destabilize the housing sector, eliminate rent control, and, in turn, erode existing natural affordable housing.
While we are relieved that, yesterday, the government confirmed it will no longer move forward with eliminating ‘security of tenure’, many aspects of the bill that would reduce tenants’ rights remain.
We stand with tenants and call on all elected officials to take steps to better protect those in search of stable, permanent housing in the midst of concurrent housing and homelessness crises, and understand the real impacts of all proposed legislation.
