The Greater Vancouver rental market is shifting — rents are softening for the third month in a row, and landlords are entering new territory when it comes to attracting great tenants. From creative incentives like free Wi-Fi or covering move-in fees, to the growing competition around student housing near SFU and UBC, we unpack what’s really happening on the ground.
But the biggest news? The BC government has announced a game-changing move: publishing the names, addresses, and monetary order records of both landlords and tenants. This controversial database could reshape how both sides approach the rental market, raising questions about accountability, transparency, and fairness.
In this episode, we break it all down:
Why rents are sliding and what’s fueling the trend.
Smart strategies landlords can use to stand out without racing to the bottom on price.
The student rental squeeze and why some markets are struggling more than others.
What the new BC rental database really means — and why accountability is not persecution.
Whether you’re a landlord navigating these changes or a tenant looking for leverage and insight, this episode gives you the tools and context to stay ahead of the curve.
👉 Tune in to hear the trends, the challenges, and the opportunities shaping Vancouver’s rental market right now.
