Responding to an increasingly fraught situation for renters in Canada, the recently announced Renters’ Bill of Rights<\/a> would add new protections benefits, and services for tenants across the country. If passed, the bill would create a federal standard lease agreement, a new legal aid fund, and a new system of reporting price history for rental units \u2013 plus allowing on-time rent payments to contribute to tenants’ credit history. This bill would have far-ranging consequences for both renters and landlords, so even though it hasn’t yet been passed, it’s important to understand what these new laws might mean.
