Essential updates on BC's new tenancy laws! 📜🏡 Discover how the recent changes to the Residential Tenancy Act could impact you as a homeowner or renter.

 

Here's a quick breakdown:

 

🌐 Authorized Internet Site for Notices: Ensures tenants receive notices on time, but incurs costs for landlords.

📅 Notice period for personal occupancy evictions extended from 2 to 4 months.

🏠 Mandatory occupancy period for landlords increased from 6 to 12 months. 🕒 Tenants now have 30 days to dispute an eviction notice, up from 15 days. ⚠️ Challenges for rental suite owners: harder to sell properties and manage rentals.

 

These changes aim to protect tenants but could pose significant challenges for landlords. Are we seeing the end of the basement suite rental?
