Housing should be for people, not speculation.
By cutting red tape, taxing vacant homes, and taking action on short-term rentals, we’re helping more people and families find homes they can afford in the communities they love.

Across BC, renters are starting to see real relief:
• Asking rents are down 12.5% from 2023
• Vacancy rates are rising
• More options for renters, including ability to negotiate their rent
• 26,000+ purpose-built rentals registered in 2025
Progress is underway, with more to do.
