The City of Vancouver is seeking the Supreme Court of Canada's decision on the legality of a nullified bylaw that aimed to control rent increases in single room accommodations. The city argues that the decision not only affects their ability to apply rent controls but also impacts the regulatory powers of all Canadian municipalities.
The City of Vancouver is hoping the Supreme Court of Canada will determine the legality of a presently nullified bylaw to control rent increases between tenancies of single room accommodation (SRA). The city has applied to appeal a B.C. Court of Appeal decision that agreed with a B.C. Supreme Court decision to set aside the bylaw. Following the appeal court’s Feb.

For Vancouver, the question is the extent to which the Vancouver Charter authorizes the rent control bylaw,” stated city counsel Grant Murray and Robert Leblanc in its application for leave to appeal, signed April
