This past year has been a year of transition out of the COVID-19 pandemic to our new normal. With the 2022 AGM, we resumed hosting in-person events. A significant part of LandlordBC’s offerings is ensuring you have access to a directory of trades and suppliers you trust and that you are getting the best value and highest quality for your investment. Our Associate Member and Corporate Supplier program delivers just that by providing access to a qualified, diverse, and competitive array of suppliers.

We know that finding reliable trades and suppliers can be difficult and timeconsuming. With that in mind, our work to form new partnerships with suppliers is something we never stop working at and our commitment to due diligence in ensuring members can be confident with their choice is always at the centre of our process. A core value we look for in all our suppliers is integrity, while cost savings and timeliness are both important, integrity and trust in each other’s work are where we find the most successful business relationships.

From supporting our member’s businesses, sponsoring our events, and providing educational content on a diverse array of industry-impacting topics our associate members and corporate suppliers have and continue to step up. We thank our associate members and corporate suppliers for their support of our association and our industry.

LANDLORDBC 2023 QUICK REFERENCE

2023 INCREASE PERCENTAGE: 2%

Rent increases require three months notice and cannot be effective less than 12 months since the last increase or the date the rent was established.

HANDLING OF DEPOSITS AT THE END OF TENANCY

At the end of the tenancy if the tenant has provided a forwarding address the landlord must deal with the deposit in one of three ways within 15 days of the later of the day the tenancy ends or the date the forwarding address was provided. The three options are:

• Return the Deposit.

• Obtain consent to retain all or part of the deposit.

• Apply to the RTB through their Dispute Resolution Process. Tenants have one year from the date the tenancy ends to provide a forwarding address. Arbitrators may only apply the Pet Damage Deposit to pet damage.

NOTICE OF ENTRY

Interest on deposits is calculated from the date the deposit is taken to the date it is received by the tenant. Landlords and tenants should utilize the easy to use Deposit Interest Calculator on the RTB website.

Example

Deposit: $500 taken by the landlord January 1, 2021 and received by the tenant March 24 2023.

The total that should be returned is $502.22 based on the $2.22 of interest that is owed on the deposit.

2021 $500.00: $0.00 interest owing (0% rate for 100.00% of year)

2022 $500.00: $0.00 interest owing (0% rate for 100.00% of year)

2023 $500.00: $2.22 interest owing (1.95% rate for 22.74% of year)

Landlords must provide 24 hours notice to enter a tenant’s unit and are allowed to enter up to once a month for regular inspections. Landlords should take into consideration the method of service used as that may add time to their notice. For example, if a notice is posted on the tenants door, the notice is considered received three days later and the landlord may enter 24 hours from then. Landlords may also obtain consent from their tenant to enter their unit not more than 30 days before entering.

METHODS OF SERVICE

When serving notices, whether it’s a notice of entry, rent increase, end of tenancy or anything else, landlords must consider the method of service they are using both to ensure it’s a valid method and what the delay for service may be.

Give a copy directly to the tenant

Send a copy by registered or regular mail to the address of the rental unit if the tenant still lives there or to the forwarding address provided

Attach a copy to the door or other noticeable place at the address where the tenant lives

Leave a copy with an adult (19 years or older) who apparently lives with the tenant (landlords should note the name of the person)

Leave a copy in a mailbox or mail slot at the address where the person lives

CMHC RENTAL MARKET REPORT

Canada Overview, Vancouver and Victoria Market Insights

The Rental Market Report provides in-depth analysis for major centres across Canada. This report is released annually and uses data from CMHC’s Rental Market Survey and Condominium Apartment Survey. This analysis provides insights on trends and conditions in Canada’s primary and select secondary rental markets. This includes reviews of rents and vacancy rates relative to supply and demand and highlights rental affordability challenges across markets.

CANADA OVERVIEW

PURPOSE BUILT RENTAL MARKET

HIGHLIGHTS

Vacancy Rate Vacancy Rate

1.9% 1.6%

Average Two-Bedroom Rent Average Two-Bedroom Rent

$1,258 UP BY 5.6% $1,930

Growth in demand outpaced strong growth in supply, pushing the vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments down from 3.1% to 1.9%. This was the vacancy rate’s lowest level since 2001. Rent growth, for its part, reached a new high.

Rental demand surged across the country. This was a reflection of higher net migration and the return of students to on-campus learning. Another factor was higher mortgage rates, which drove up already-elevated costs of homeownership.

CONDOMINIUM APARTMENT MARKET

Despite higher overall supply, the share of rental units that are affordable for the lowest-income renters is, in most markets, in the low single digits or too low to report. This is especially true in Ontario and British Columbia (B.C.).

New data: Average rent growth for 2-bedroom units that turned over to a new tenant was well above average rent growth for units without turnover (18.2% vs. 2.8%). This increased affordability challenges.

VACANCY RATE AT A NEAR HISTORIC LOW

Rental supply increased sharply between October 2021 and October 2022. This increase was measured by growth in the rental market universe, which went up by about 55,000 purpose-built rental apartments (+2.6%). This was the strongest rate of increase since 2013, reflecting elevated supply growth in some large markets. A notable example was the record-high increase in Vancouver. That said, rental demand was stronger. The number of occupied units increased by about 79,000 units (+3.8%). This increase drove the national vacancy rate down to 1.9%, ending a 2-year streak of stability at historically average levels (figure 1).

The decline in the national vacancy rate reflected widespread tightening across Canada’s rental markets. Only 5 of the 37 census metropolitan areas (CMAs) surveyed reported significantly higher vacancy rates in 2022 than in 2021. Declining rates in Canada’s three largest rental markets of Montréal, Vancouver and Toronto reflected the national result. Toronto reported a particularly sharp decline.

The divergence between vacancy rates among Canada’s 3 largest markets reflects differences in their gaps between demand growth and supply growth. As figure 2 shows, Toronto posted the largest gap between the growth of demand (measured as the growth in occupied rental units) and the growth of supply (the increase in Toronto’s rental universe). This gap helped drive the large vacancy rate decline in Toronto.

HIGHER NET MIGRATION AND COSTS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP ARE AMONG THE DRIVERS OF HIGHER RENTAL DEMAND

Strong growth in rental demand across the country reflected:

• signific antly higher net migration, as flows continued to benefit from relaxed COVID-related travel restrictions. (New immigrants have a high tendency to rent);

• stable employment conditions for those aged 15–24, supporting demand from young households, which also have a higher tendency to rent; and

demand

• a higher overall propensity to rent (caused by mortgage rate increases and relatively high prices, which increased the costs of transitioning to homeownershi p).

These drivers were widespread geographically. However, every rental market is different, and the impacts of these drivers will vary among them. In the Prairies, for example, rental demand has also benefitted from:

• higher interprovincial migration; and

• stronger employment stemming from higher commodity prices.

Ontario, B.C. and Québec saw the highest flows of new immigrants. This flow placed additional demand pressures on their local markets. The return of students to on-campus learning was also particularly important in centres with large higher-learning sectors. These and other nuances impacting local markets are explained in greater detail in the market reports.

Higher mortgage rates and elevated price levels have made homeownership more expensive in 2022. These increased costs supported rental demand by making it harder and less attractive for renters to transition to homeownership.

The decline in turnover rates observed since the previous survey is consistent with increased difficulty in transitioning to homeownership. The national turnover rate fell from 15.5% in 2021 to 13.6% in 2022. A lower turnover rate indicates a reduced willingness of households to vacate a rental unit. This contributes to lower overall vacancy rates and tighter rental markets.

The divergence between vacancy rates among Canada’s 3 largest markets reflects differences in their gaps between demand growth and supply growth. As figure 2 shows, Toronto posted the largest gap between the growth of

(measured as the growth in occupied rental units) and the growth of supply (the increase in Toronto’s rental universe). This gap helped drive the large vacancy rate decline in Toronto.

RENT GROWTH REACHED A NEW HIGH DUE TO TIGHTER RENTAL MARKETS

Growth in the average rent for 2-bedroom purpose-built apartments common to 2 consecutive surveys is known as “same-sample rent growth.” For apartments common to the October 2021 and October 2022 surveys, same-sample rent growth accelerated sharply. It rose to 5.6% from 3% over the previous 12-month period. This is a new annual high, well above the 1990-to-2022 average of 2.8%.

Higher rent-growth was widespread geographically, with particularly large jumps observed in Vancouver and Toronto. This reflects higher flows of immigrants to these centres, among other factors discussed in the market reports. Result: the average rents for 2-bedroom purpose-built apartments in Vancouver ($2,002) and Toronto ($1,779) continue to be the highest in the country. They’re well above the national average of $1,258.

NEW RENTERS AND LOW-INCOME RENTERS FACE EVEN TIGHTER MARKET CONDITIONS

Average rent growth for purpose-built, 2-bedroom units that turned over to a new tenant was 18.3%, well above the 2.9% rent growth for units without turnover. This reflects the fact that, once a tenant vacates a unit, landlords are generally free to increase asking rents to current market levels. Landlords

can also take the opportunity to renovate between tenants. In doing so, they raise unit quality and can then ask for higher rents from new tenants.

Among the three largest markets, Toronto reported the widest gap between rent growth for units that turned over and rent growth for units without turnover. Vancouver followed, and Montréal had the narrowest gap of the 3:

• Toronto (29.1% rent growth for turnover units vs. 2.3% for non-turnover units)

• Vancouver (23.9% vs. 3.9%)

• Montréal (14.5% vs. 3.5%)

Lower-income renters also tend to face greater affordability challenges than do higher-income renters. The reason: very low stocks of rental units that are affordable for people in lower income ranges. An affordable dwelling is one where the renter household is spending no more than 30% of its gross income on rent. Using that benchmark, we calculate the share of the rental universe that would be affordable at different income levels.

For the bottom 20% of income earners in most rental markets, the share of rental units that are affordable is much less than 20%. In many centres, this affordable share is too small to meet statistical reporting standards. Markets in Québec are a major exception to this trend, followed (distantly) by markets in the Prairies.

Overall affordability conditions were also stressed by inflation. The 12-month change in the all-items Consumer Price Index stood at 6.9% in October 2022. This growth outpaced growth in the average hourly wage (5.6%) over the same period. The resulting pressure on real household wages would likely have increased the housing affordability challenges faced by renters.

RENTAL CONDOMINIUM APARTMENT MARKETS REMAINED TIGHT DESPITE HIGHER SUPPLY

Rented condominium units play a significant role in the supply of rental housing. That’s why we also survey condominium apartments offered for rent on the secondary rental market in 17 centres.

In 2022, rental condominiums accounted for 19.3% of the total stock of rental units across these centres. (The total stock of rental units is the sum of the purpose-built rental apartment universe and the rental condominium apartment universe.) This share was up from 18.6% in 2021, reflecting growth in the condominium rental universe of 7.2% in 2022.

In some of Canada’s largest centres, the share of the rental stock accounted for by condominiums remained well above the national average in 2022. Vancouver was the leader (with 42.5% of its rental stock made up of condominiums), followed by Calgary (37.5%) and Toronto (34%). Centres in Québec generally reported smaller shares, including Montréal at 6.7%.

The average vacancy rate for rental condominiums remained low, at 1.6%. In a strict statistical sense, this is essentially unchanged from 2021. The average rent for a 2-bedroom rental condominium increased significantly from $1,771 to $1,930. Markets remained tight despite growth in supply. The tightness of both the rental condominium and purposebuilt rental markets therefore had a common driver: the outpacing of strong supply growth by even stronger demand growth.

These results reinforce the urgent need to accelerate housing supply and address supply gaps to improve housing affordability for Canadians. We encourage you to refer to our Housing Shortages in Canada: Solving the Affordability Crisis2 report. There, you can find estimates of the size of these gaps and detailed analysis of their causes and consequences.

PURPOSE BUILT RENTAL MARKET HIGHLIGHTS

The purpose-built rental apartment vacancy rate decreased from 1.2% in 2021 to 0.9% in 2022. Higher homeownership costs and migration to the region led rental demand to increase faster than supply.

Asking rents for vacant units are now, on average, 43% higher than those paid for occupied units. This represents a strong disincentive to moving for existing tenants, resulting in lower turnover.

The tightening conditions caused rent growth to accelerate to 6.3% overall. New renters paid, on average, 24% more than the previous tenant for 2-bedroom units rented in 2022.

Important imbalances exist in the Vancouver rental market. Our data show that lower-income households face significant challenges finding units that they can afford.

The purpose-built rental universe increased by a record 3,805 units (+3.3%) following elevated construction of new units in recent years.

The number of condominium apartments offered as longterm rentals increased by 7,850 units (+9.8%). The increase in supply contributed to the rental condominium segment having a higher vacancy rate (2.2%) than the purpose-built rental segment (0.9%).

VACANCY RATES FALL BELOW 1% DUE TO HIGHER DEMAND

The rental market tightened in the Vancouver census metropolitan area (CMA) in 2022. Following a surge in international migration and homeownership costs, the overall vacancy rate for purpose-built apartments fell to 0.9%.

As part of this broad increase in demand, vacancy rates decreased across market segments and regions. The only exceptions were select submarkets where significant new supply was added, such as:

• District o f North Vancouver (3%)

• Kerrisdale neighbourhood in the City of Vancouver (2.5%)

Many of the new units in these areas have high rents. The higher vacancy rates suggest there’s likely price sensitivity among renters.

The tightening rental market in the Vancouver CMA is in line with other large centres in Canada. In the Toronto CMA, vacancy rates also fell due to increased migration and homeownership costs.

INCREASE IN MIGRATION AND HOMEOWNERSHIP COSTS DRIVES RENTAL DEMAND

Migration to the Vancouver CMA from both international and domestic origins contributed to growth in rental demand. Arrivals of international immigrants to British Columbia doubled in the first half of 2022. Most of these immigrants settled in Metro Vancouver. The reopening of international borders also contributed to an increase in arrivals of nonpermanent residents. This group includes international students, many of whom rent.

Increases in mortgage interest rates limited the ability of

existing renter households to move to homeownership. The borrowing capacity of a worker aged 25 to 54 earning the average wage in the Vancouver CMA fell by nearly a quarter, or about $100,000, in 2022. Entry-level home prices haven’t declined as fast as buying power, meaning many prospective homebuyers continue to rent.

SPREAD BETWEEN MARKET RENTS FOR VACANT UNITS AND THOSE PAID FOR OCCUPIED UNITS WIDENS

The average asking rent for vacant units was 43% higher than the overall average rent for occupied units in the Vancouver CMA. This was significantly higher than the 10% gap observed in 2021, as the average asking rent for vacant units soared in 2022. While some new units with high rents are currently vacant, an influx of such units wasn’t the main contributor to higher asking rents.

For existing tenants paying rents below market value, higher market rents are a significant disincentive to moving. After several years at an already low level, the turnover rate fell further to 10.7% in 2022.

Fewer units coming to market creates a more challenging environment for new renters. The market can’t accommodate as many moves as before, leading to higher rents for those units that do come to market.

RENT GROWTH ACCELERATES WITH TURNOVER OF UNITS TO NEW TENANTS

The change in rent for the same apartment between two consecutive surveys, the same-sample rent change, is an important rental market indicator. Average same-sample rents surged 6.3% in 2022, well ahead of the 2.1% increase in 2021. Mirroring the increase in rental demand, the increase in rents was broad-based across apartment types (number of bedrooms) and geographic areas.

New leases are formed under current market conditions. Due to rent control, existing leases reflect market conditions in the past. This results in a gap between the overall average rent paid and current market rents. Our new data on the rent increase at turnover is one way to observe this gap.

Two-bedroom units that turned over were re-leased at a rent that was 23.9% higher, on average. In contrast, rents increased 3.9%, on average, for 2-bedroom units that didn’t change tenant between 2021 and 2022.

Under tenant-based rent guidelines imposed in B.C., the allowable rent increase for existing tenants was 0% in 2021 and 1.5% in 2022. The rent increase for units that didn’t turn over can vary from the allowable amount. This is because of supplemental increases that are allowed for capital improvements to the structure. When a unit turns over to a new tenant, the landlord is free to set a new rent amount at the market level.

RECORD INCREASE IN THE SUPPLY OF PURPOSEBUILT RENTAL UNITS

Despite the observed decline in the vacancy rate, the universe of purpose-built rental apartments increased by 3,805 units

(+3.3%). This represents the highest annual increase among available records since 1990. Four submarkets combined to account for 87% of the increase:

• City of Vancouver: 1,359 units (+2.3% universe growth rate)

• Tri-Cities: 843 units (+17.9%)

• City of North Vancouver: 666 units (+10.8%)

• District of North Vancouver: 446 units (+26.2%)

The increase results from the elevated number of new rental units started over the past few years now coming to market. Rental starts surged 43% year-over-year over the first 3 quarters of 2022, meaning completions of new rental supply will be significant in the years ahead. However, increases in financing costs will likely slow additional rental starts in 2023.

NEWLY COMPLETED UNITS HAVE RENTS SIMILAR TO CURRENT ASKING RENTS FOR VACANT UNITS

Units in new structures completed in the past 3 years had higher vacancy rates than units in structures of all ages. Interestingly, average rents for new 2-bedroom units ($2,823) were nearly identical to the asking rent ($2,865) for vacant 2-bedroom units of all ages. Rental demand is such that owners of existing units can, in some cases, seek rents that are equal to those for new units.

AVAILABILITY OF AFFORDABLE PURPOSE-BUILT RENTAL STOCK IS A CHALLENGE FOR MANY

The tightening conditions reinforced existing imbalances in the Vancouver rental market. Our data show that

lower-income households face significant challenges in finding units that they can afford:

• Less than 1/3 of market purpose-built rental units are affordable to households earning less than $55,000 per year.

• Only 1 in 200 units are affordable to renter households with the lowest 20% of incomes.

• Most of the lowest-priced units are small and would not b e suitable for families.

GROWTH IN THE NUMBER OF RENTAL CONDOMINIUM APARTMENTS LEADS TO HIGHER VACANCIES

The condominium apartment segment is an important source of rental supply for the region. The number of condominiums offered as long-term rentals increased by 7,850 units (+9.8%) in 2022. This growth included both newly constructed and existing units entering the rental market. Overall, the proportion of condominiums being rented long-term rose to 30.5%.

With the increased supply of rental units, the condominium apartment vacancy rate rose to 2.2%. This contrasts with the purpose-built rental sector, where the apartment vacancy rate fell to 0.9%. Condominium rents are similar to those for new purpose-built rental units, which also have higher vacancies (2.7%) than the overall market. Renters seem to be willing to pay about the same for these 2 types of units, contributing to their similar market outcomes.

HIGHLIGHTS

The vacancy rate rose slightly thanks to expansion of the rental apartment stock, although the rental townhouse stock continued to shrink.

Rent growth of purpose-built rental apartments peaked at 7.7%, driven by high turnover, especially for newer units.

Strong rent growth exacerbated the shortages of affordable units, particularly for low-income households in need of larger units. Record-high immigration and a stable job market brought rental demand back to the city center.

RENTAL MARKET CONDITIONS LOOSENED SLIGHTLY

In 2022, the rental market in the Victoria census metropolitan area (CMA) loosened slightly in both the purpose-built rental and condominium rental segments. However, at 1.5%, the vacancy rate of purpose-built rental units remained one of the lowest in Canada, albeit a slight improvement from 1% in 2021. The condominium rental vacancy rate increased from 0% to 0.2%. This was attributable to expansions of the stock in

both segments, which slightly relieved the tight rental market conditions.

Many parts of the CMA saw various degrees of higher vacancies. Contrary to 2021, the vacancy rate in the City of Victoria (1.2%), was lower than in the outskirts (1.6%). As workplaces began to adopt hybrid work schedules, demand returned to the urban area.

The Westshore area saw the largest jump in the purposebuilt rental apartment vacancy rate, from 0.4% in 2021 to 1.5% in 2022. With most of the CMA’s rental construction concentrated in the area, the average rent of purpose-built rental apartments in Westshore remained the highest in the CMA. This appeared to have tamed demand. Renters likely traded newer amenities for affordability, as the cost of living rose significantly in 2022.

RENT GROWTH ACCELERATED

Record-breaking rent growth occurred in the Victoria CMA in 2022. The average rent for purpose-built rental apartments increased by 7.7% in 2022, the fastest growth since 1991. This was driven by strong rent increases in units that were turned over to new tenants.1 As an example, a turnover 2-bedroom apartment was rented at a 33% higher rent, on average, than an occupied unit in the same building. Structures built after 2005, which are generally more expensive, had turnover rates twice as high as those for older apartments. As a result, high turnover among newer units led to significant rent increases for these units, which ultimately contributed to the overall rent growth.

As a result, renters were less likely to move, as evidenced by the lower turnover rate overall, unless moving out of the CMA. In fact, areas north of the CMA, such as Duncan and Parksville, saw lower vacancy rates in 2022. These more affordable rental markets may have absorbed some demand from Greater Victoria.

UNEVEN GROWTH IN RENTAL SUPPLY BETWEEN APARTMENTS AND TOWNHOUSES

A much-needed increase in apartment supply occurred in the Victoria CMA, with 1,411 units added to the purposebuilt rental apartment stock, and 229 units added to the condominium apartment stock. Both sectors grew by more than twice what they did in 2021.

Unlike in 2021, there were significantly fewer purposebuilt rental apartments removed from the stock as a result of demolitions, conversions or renovations. Many units taken down for renovation returned to the market in 2022. This, along with newly completed rental constructions, helped the growth in rental stock seen in 2020 resume. Priced at a higher rent level than before, these newly added units also contributed to the rapid rent growth.

Conversely, the Victoria CMA lost 83 (12%) purpose-built rental townhouses in 2022. Most of the losses were in Saanich/ Central Saanich, which provides about half of the CMA’s rental townhouses. This resulted in the vacancy rate of 3-bedroom townhouses dropping from 6.2% to 3.5% in the area, one of the very few rental segments that tightened.

HIGH IMMIGRATION AND STABLE JOB GROWTH DROVE DEMAND

B.C.’s population grew at a record pace in 2022. As borders reopened, immigration recovered as the main driver of population growth in B.C. In Q2 2022, B.C.’s population grew by 45,515,2 the highest quarterly increase since the 1970s. Newcomers will likely continue to drive rental demand, since the

federal government’s immigration targets are set progressively higher each year until 2025.

Victoria’s job market improved in 2022, with 6,200 jobs added between January and October. Unlike in 2021, most of the new jobs were part-time positions. Part-time workers disproportionately rent, which likely contributed to greater rental demand. The job vacancy rate (percentage of unfilled positions) reached a record high in Q2 in Greater Victoria, exceeding lower mainland and B.C.’s overall rate. If the labour shortage continues, wages may rise (Victoria’s average wage offered has been declining since Q2 2021). Higher wages may boost rental demand. However, rental affordability will likely remain a challenge, especially as rent growth outpaces income growth for many in the CMA.

HIGHER DEMAND FOR AFFORDABLE RENTALS

Vacancy rates of units that are considered affordable to many households remained below 1%:

• For households earning less than $49,000 per year, affordable units had a vacancy rate of 0.4%.

• 3-bedroom units affordable to those earning less than $75,000 per year was 0.8%.

• Only a third of the purpose-built rental units were affordable fo r households earning less than $49,000 per year.

In a market with record-high rent increases, these results highlighted the challenge for low-income households, especially larger households that require more than 1 bedroom. The supply of affordable and suitable rental options is still not meeting demand in the Victoria CMA.
