The Opposition BC United accused David Eby on Tuesday of largely profiting from the sale of his condominium in 2019 because it was in a building complex that did not have rental restrictions.
The sale of Premier David Eby’s condominium in Victoria has become embroiled in the debate over the New Democrat government’s proposed law on short-term rental accommodations.
Housing critic Karin Kirkpatrick told the legislature that Eby sold the condo for $150,000 more than he originally paid, capitalizing on the province’s explosion in short-term rentals. Renee Merrifield, an Opposition member of the legislature from Kelowna, referred to Eby in the house as “condo king,” who cashed in by selling his Airbnb-friendly apartment.
