rent control...

"The current system of rent controls, which has been in effect since 2004, is defined as a two per cent increase per year plus the rise in the Consumer Price Index, which is currently running at 1.1 per cent."
http://www.theprovince.com/Rental+Crunch+Housing+minister+warns+possible+hikes+under+rent+control+system/10444211/story.html

Coleman has concerns about cost increases that landlords are unable to recover under the present formula.

The minister gave the following example of why the rules need to be re-examined:

“If my municipality increases property taxes by six per cent, landlords have no way of recovering that. The same applies to increases like sewer and water ... Other options may also be put on the table.”

http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Vancouver+mayor+urges+overhaul+rental+legislation/10903024/story.html

"Since 2002, British Columbia has had a two-tiered system where fixed-term renters get no protection, while those who rent month-to-month do. The legislation restricts landlords with monthly renters to a set annual increase. This year, the cap is 2.5 per cent."

http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Daphne+Bramham+tier+system+rent+control+needs+change/11333131/story.html?__lsa=2aee-8b0b
"The two-tier system is an inequity that could easily be fixed by a willing government, which the B.C. Liberal government clearly isn’t, even though since it passed the Residential Tenancy Act 13 years ago, the vacancy rate in Metro Vancouver has rarely even hit 2.5 per cent. It’s currently at 0.02 per cent."

Building boom is reshaping Vancouver – but at a cost to city’s downtown tenants

"Under the city’s noise control bylaw, construction on private property is allowed Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.  on Saturdays. It’s prohibited on Sundays and statutory holidays. Construction on public property such as city streets, lanes and boulevards is allowed from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays."
https://www.biv.com/article/2015/6/renovictions-construction-wreak-havoc-renters

"Vancouver continues to have the "highest price per door" of the eight markets surveyed, at $234,661 - well ahead of a $147,000 price per door in Toronto, and $102,028 in Montreal.

Prices per door, or suite, have increased nearly 1.6 per cent in the last year in Vancouver, while dropping 5.8 per cent in Toronto.

And while Vancouver once had the highest rents in Canada - now averaging $1,177 - latest figures show the city is in second place, behind Toronto where average rents are $1,188. Rents in Montreal, at an average of $717, are the lowest."

30-something-couple-got-rich-without house

So the couple decided to nix the house hunt. Instead, they enlisted the help of well-known Toronto financial adviser Garth Turner and invested their $500,000.
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/30-something-couple-got-rich-090000502.html
They put 60 per cent in stocks and 40 per cent in fixed income investments like corporate bonds. That ratio shifted when the market turned volatile.
By late 2014, Shen and Leung say they doubled their money to $1 million.
Their investments continued to grow so the two decided to ditch their jobs last year. They don't even pay rent now because they're always travelling.
They live on $30,000 to $40,000 a year, money that largely comes from dividend payments generated from their stock portfolio.

Unlike owning a million-dollar home, says Leung, "if you have a million-dollar portfolio, it pays you."

Of course, not every millennial has $500,000 to invest and there are no guarantees in life that the markets won't let you down. But Shen and Leung claim anyone can easily learn how to build on their savings, no matter how small the amount. They say the returns will likely be better than buying a home with a big mortgage and related expenses like property tax.
