Renter Protections in the Lower Mainland | Part 2

In this series, Consider the Alternatives takes a close look at renter rights in the Lower Mainland. Producers Annie Reuter and Max Neumann dig into new measures passed by Vancouver City Council in June, 2019. They ask city hall reporter Jen St. Denis to weigh whether these measures are in fact, “Canada's broadest and most comprehensive series of protections for renters” as Mayor Kennedy Stewart claims. Jen also unpacks the difference in compensation offered to renters who are “demovicted” versus “renovicted,” under these new City protections.
