British Columbia's Seniors Advocate reports a doubled number of calls about increased rents in retirement homes, urging the government to enforce the Residential Tenancy Act for protection.
British Columbia's Seniors Advocate, Dan Levitt, has reported a significant increase in calls to his office regarding increased rents in retirement homes over the past year. The number of calls has more than doubled, making it a major issue for seniors and their families. Levitt is urging the provincial government to enforce the Residential Tenancy Act, which would protect the 30,000 British Columbians living in retirement homes from unlawful rent increases and evictions. The Seniors Advocate's office released a report, "Forgotten Rights: Not Afforded Equal Rent Protection," to emphasize the need for immediate government action.
