https://news.gov.bc.ca/release...This is still pretty fresh news with the new BC tenancy changes that came into effect on July 1 2021.I am new to being a landlord and this news does make things a little harder if you have a troublesome tenant.I am wondering what other investors who own in British Columbia think about the changes and will it affect your decisions to do long-term renters vs STR?

hey @Lux Amator,  Propstream is powerful tool if you know how to use it effectively.

I realize then trying to find another house I would just end up overpaying for that one eliminating my gains from selling my house. 

The Silicon Valley effect essentially pushes long-time locals and general workers out of the market like a take-over. 

When someone is already on month-to-month, typically only 30 days notice is required to put new rental rates into effect.  

It is still the #1 best, cheapest, most effective strategy to simply negotiate and work with the tenants on a human level.

If not, what is an effective source that would enable me to take action?

@JD Martin I want to just make it a steady surcharge so it's effectively rent, that's what the monthly automatic payment will be.

Real estate brokerages in their training of agents claim this is the most effective lead generation although I think I have the odd demographics of people I know who aren't even in houses to begin with.3)  Get more lists for idea 1 by targeting houses in forbearance; divorces; and probate.  

Would advise to proceed VERY cautiously with buying a Class D rental as your first investment.We like to think we do a pretty good job with Class C rentals, but we couldn't effectively manage Class D.The only investors we've seen "successful" with Class D are those that go by their rentals 3-4+ times/week.
