 organized a Community Meeting discussing Rent Control Strategies.The p
 anel discussed ways CITY COUNCIL & PRIVATE CITIZENS can STOP RENOVICTI
 ONS like HEATHER PLACE. There ARE REAL RENT CONTROL MODELS in Ontario 
 & Montreal NOW: Controling the percentage that a landlord may increase
  a rent after dislocating residents for renovation or re-development. 
 It is NOT an increase like the 70% or higher Metro Vancouver Housing C
 orporation, a supposely \"Non-profit\" organization, is suggesting Hea
 ther Place residents pay after DISOLCATION & ONLY \"POSSIBLE\" return 
 IF residents \"QUALIFY\". It IS the STANDARD YEARLY ALLOWABLE rent inc
 rease gudied by the RESIDENTIAL TENANCY ACT, i.e. Approx. 3%!!\nMVHC d
 id not build nor keep up maintenance to keep Heather Place's 20 year b
 uildings out of a state of disrepair! They should not be allowed to Re
 novict, Rebuild & Manage another Shotty Construction like Olympic Vill
 age JACKING UP RENTS by 70% or more!\nLooking forward to getting creat
 ive with you to address this issue and have fun!\n\nFor more informati
