Do Rent Control Right<\/strong><\/p>\n As the province of New Brunswick advances its progressive plan to protect tenants by capping rents, it is crucial that complementary legislation and regulations are enacted to avoid the common pitfalls associated with rent control on occupied units. Clear financial incentives exist for landlords to use bad-faith eviction methods\u2014such as renovictions, landlord-use evictions, and cash-for-keys agreements\u2014to flip units and increase rents beyond the rent control guidelines.<\/p>\n Check out ACORN’s mini-report, available in both official languages, which outlines key aspects of rent control systems and provides a series of recommendations for how the Holt government can best protect tenants and close bad-faith rent control loopholes before they emerge.<\/p>\n
