the interests of rental housing providers were also diverse, including both non-profit and for-profit housing providers, builders\u2019 associations and advocacy groups. Submissions advocated for clarity and balance between the rights of renters and rental housing providers; allowing rent increases and damage deposits that aligned with costs; and improving the evictions processes, including reintroducing a vacate clause. Rental housing providers also supported increasing the rental supply, including incentivizing rentals, reducing restrictions on secondary suites, and reducing property tax burden on rental housing providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The list below shows the stakeholders representing rental housing providers who submitted input through this process, with links to their full submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Anthem-Growing-Places-1.pdf\" title=\"\">Anthem Properties<\/a> (PDF, 300KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/BC-Non-Profit-Housing-Association-1.pdf\" title=\"\">BC Non-Profit Housing Association<\/a> (PDF, 900KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/BC-Real-Estate-Association.pdf\" title=\"\">BC Real Estate Association<\/a> (PDF, 250KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Belmont-Properties.pdf\" title=\"\">Belmont Properties<\/a> (PDF, 200KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Canadian-Home-Builders-Association-of-BC.pdf\" title=\"\">Canadian Home Builders Association of BC<\/a> (PDF, 100KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Canadian-Mortgage-Brokers-Association-British-Columbia.pdf\" title=\"\">Canadian Mortgage Brokers Association British Columbia<\/a> (PDF, 200KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Condominium-Home-Owners-Association.pdf\" title=\"\">Condominium Home Owners Association<\/a> (PDF, 100KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Greater-Victoria-Housing-Society.pdf\" title=\"\">Greater Victoria Housing Society<\/a> (PDF, 40KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Hollyburn-Properties-Limited.pdf\" title=\"\">Hollyburn Properties Limited<\/a> (PDF, 1MB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/LandlordBC.pdf\" title=\"\">LandlordBC<\/a> (PDF, 250KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Professional-Assocation-of-Managing-Agents.pdf\" title=\"\">Professional Association of Managing Agents<\/a> (PDF, 100KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/QuadReal-Property-Group-1.pdf\" title=\"\">QuadReal Property Group<\/a> (PDF, 100KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/REALPAC.pdf\" title=\"\">REALPAC<\/a> (PDF, 200KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Redbrick-Properties-1.pdf\" title=\"\">Redbrick Properties<\/a> (PDF, 2MB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/The-Pacific-Investment-Corporation-Limited.pdf\" title=\"\">The Pacific Investment Corporation Limited<\/a> (PDF, 250KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/The-Revill-Group-1.pdf\" title=\"\">The Revill Group<\/a> (PDF, 500KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Unique-Real-Estate-Accommodations.pdf\" title=\"\">Unique Real Estate Accommodations<\/a> (PDF, 70KB)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/engage.gov.bc.ca\/app\/uploads\/sites\/121\/2021\/03\/Urban-Development-Institute.pdf\" title=\"\">Urban Development Institute<\/a> (PDF, 30KB)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"collapse-close\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-item-02fc0aff-4503-438f-877f-5c78cd959f0a\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse-item-02fc0aff-4503-438f-877f-5c78cd959f0a\">Collapse<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bcgov-collapse-item\"><div class=\"collapse-header\" id=\"heading-4ba34e26-be17-41bb-96a4-464d8e1bca68\"><h3><button role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapse-item-4ba34e26-be17-41bb-96a4-464d8e1bca68\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse-item-4ba34e26-be17-41bb-96a4-464d8e1bca68\" class=\"collapsed\"><span class=\"collapse-title\">Stakeholders representing the interests of manufactured home owners and park owners<\/span><\/button><\/h3><\/div><div class=\"collapse collapse-container\" id=\"collapse-item-4ba34e26-be17-41bb-96a4-464d8e1bca68\"><div class=\"collapse-body\">\n<p>Stakeholders representing the interests of manufactured home owners and park owners felt that the current legislative context does not reflect the reality that manufactured home owners are both home owners and renters, and that the success of a park is a shared investment between the park owner and manufactured home owners.
