"This bylaw doesn't stop good-faith renovations. What this bylaw stops is fake evictions where a minor renovation is being used as an excuse, and this happens far too commonly. It's time to stop it."
"If we had real rent control for all buildings, not just the ones that are built before 2018, we probably wouldn't need to do this. That would end renovictions overnight but that's a provincial responsibility."
"Under the new system, landlords will have to apply for a $700 per unit renovation licence and include proof that the proposed construction or maintenance work is so extensive that the tenant must leave their home."
"But we have to act, because we are seeing a lot of problems, and we need to protect tenants from senseless or bogus evictions."
