Is it getting harder for Vancouver tenants to fight evictions?

A Vancouver tenancy lawyer highlights that the eviction process in British Columbia is increasingly biased against tenants, with expedited hearings leaving them little time to prepare. The current system requires tenants to apply for dispute resolution, while landlords only need to provide minimal justification for evictions. This has led to a significant rise in cases where tenants struggle to gather evidence before hearings. The lawyer emphasizes that the process favors landlords, creating opportunities for abuse, especially during the ongoing housing crisis.
