Fixed Term Lease Town Hall
February 8, 2017- 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Landlords throughout Metro Vancouver are increasingly exploiting a loophole in the Residential Tenancy Act by getting tenants to unknowingly sign Fixed Term Tenancy Leases, making it easier for them to evict tenants without proper due process and raise the rents above the yearly maximum. A sharp rent increase or eviction has devastating effects for all of us, but especially severe impacts on low-income folks who as a result may become homeless. We must join in solidarity and fight for tenant rights!
The DTES SRO Collaborative and The Carnegie Community Action Project invite you to join us and fight back!
Where: Carnegie Community Centre Theatre
When: Wednesday, February 8th @ 6:30 PM
