MLA calls for major changes to P.E.I's Residential Tenancy Act to protect landlords

www.cbc.ca /news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-residential-tenancy-act-trivers-1.7620531

Some highlights include:

  • Reducing the minimum required notice for a landlord to terminate a lease from 4 months to 2 months
  • Increasing the maximum pre-approved annual rent increase from 3% to 10%
  • Allowing a landlord to give a tenant a 5 day eviction notice if the landlord requests entry and the tenant refuses (for any reason) without rescheduling within 5 days
  • Almost all provisions call for tenants to be responsible for some amount of payment directly to the landlord as well as an up to $5000 fine

Here is a link to the proposed amendments and solutions, hosted on the MLAs own webpage. He is looking to gut almost all tenancy protections in order to enrich landlords (of which he is one). I know most people who see this post will not be Islanders, but I believe it is important to post this anywhere relevant that an Islander might see it.
