The NDP is talking about adding vacancy control which would cap how much a landlord could raise the rent between tenants. I don't think it will get approved.. if it did developers would never go near rental construction and according to Vancouver Sun this would kill over 12,000 new rental units in the planning stage. Another classic example of the NDP just not understanding how this market really works and the role individual landlords play in this city. If this new legislation was passed then I would have no choice but to raise the rent on my units every year by the allowable rate as opposed to only raising between tenants.

Successful people have many things in common. They tend to be disciplined, hard working, self motivated and the big one … optimistic! Sure they're aware of problems and negative situations that could occur but they don’t tend to focus on those things. Instead they stay positive and focus on things they can do to keep improving in all areas of their life. I see this first hand when I attend my annual investment summit in New York City each Fall.

The NDP just announced a reduction in what BC landlords can legally raise the annual rent in 2019 to their tenants. They also recently cancelled their promised rental rebate program after they realized the cost of running the program was going to be more than the rebates. I also discuss a recent tenant protest in Mt Pleasant when the building's long time owner decided to retire and sell.
