Join us for an afternoon of learning and planning about Vacancy Control. Vacancy Control is a social policy that ties rent increases to a rental unit not to a tenancy agreement (BC’s current form of rent control. This is a policy that has demonstrated success in preserving affordable rental units and preventing people from being evicted from their homes. At this civic academy we will go over what vacancy control is, where it is currently in place, and how it could work in BC. We’ll also have an opportunity to plan how we can build our collective power to win Vacancy Control in BC.
