Vancouver council considers making strong tenant protections in Broadway Plan citywide

Vancouver's Broadway plan includes strong tenant protections, such as the right-of-first-refusal for displaced renters to return at old or below-market rents, and compensation during redevelopment. The city's Renters Advisory Committee seeks to extend these protections citywide. However, industry groups warn this could hinder development and worsen the rental shortage. The city council will review options to expand these policies amid ongoing debates on balancing growth and tenant rights.
