The Province has made changes to the Residential Tenancy Regulation to allow landlords who are required to provide certain types of affordable rental units under a local government housing agreement to end the tenancy of a tenant who no longer qualifies to rent the unit. These changes follow recently introduced amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act to address health and safety in supportive housing.
The changes to the Residential Tenancy Regulation were made effective April 7, 2026 and are intended to support local governments in ensuring that below-market rental units are reserved for those who need them. The changes are also consistent with resolution 2025-NR38, “Ending Residential Tenancies due to Income Eligibility.”
Separate recently introduced amendments to the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA) are intended to keep weapons out of supportive housing, de-escalate situations that pose health and safety risks to tenants and workers, and to clarify supportive housing’s legal classification for the purposes of the RTA.
