Renters living in purpose-built rentals are more at risk of being evicted. The government is giving itself permission to ban and restrict city rules that requires developers to return a tenant to their rent-controlled apartment after construction of the new bigger condo is complete. Thousands of tenants live in rent-controlled purpose built rentals across Ontario. Making it easier for developers to evict tenants and convert rentals to expensive condos will be disastrous for renters and private-market affordable housing. This is a terrible move. We need to build more homes, but not at the expense of affordable homes.
