Evictions for Renovations

Tenants across British Columbia have been affected by evictions for renovations (“renovictions”) in the last few years due to rising property values, deteriorating residential properties, and a lack of new rental housing construction.

Two tenant groups in Vancouver that work to prevent evictions for renovations are:

• Renters at Risk
• West End Residents Association

Some court decisions regarding renovictions include:

• Allman v. Amacon Property Management Services Inc., 2007 BCCA 141
• Berry and Kloet v British Columbia (Residential Tenancy Act, Arbitrator) 2007 BCSC 257
