Renters and landlords in British Columbia will soon be able to push the government for changes to tenancy laws. A provincewide consultation has been launched by a task force to help "modernize and balance provincial tenancy laws to provide safe, secure and affordable housing." The three-member task force, led by Vancouver-West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert, will hold public meetings across the province in June and is also seeking input online. It's trying to be pro-rental, and trying to ensure both renters and landlords feel secure," said Herbert. The government made a number of changes to tenancy laws this year, and will receive recommendations on further action that could be taken from the task force this fall.
