CEO’S MESSAGE

David Hutniak, CEO, LandlordBC

2023 was an exciting year for us at LandlordBC, marked by several successful in-person events along with our online educational offerings. We greatly value being able to connect with you, our members, and provide you with opportunities to meet our numerous partners and suppliers. Among our offerings, the LandlordBC Trades and Suppliers directory, found at the back of our publications and online, stands out as an incredibly valuable resource appreciated by our members.

A longstanding cornerstone of LandlordBC’s services is ensuring you have access to a trusted directory of trades and suppliers, giving you optimal value and quality for your investments. Through our Associate Member and Corporate Supplier program, we deliver precisely that — granting access to a qualified, diverse, and competitive pool of suppliers.

Finding reliable trades and suppliers means LandlordBC continuously strives to forge new partnerships while upholding a high level of due diligence in our selection process to instill confidence in your choices. Integrity serves as a fundamental criterion for all our suppliers, as we believe that successful business relationships thrive on mutual trust and reliability.

Our Associate Members and Corporate Suppliers play pivotal roles in supporting your business, sponsoring our events, and offering educational content on a wide range of industry-related topics. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to them for their continued support of our association and the broader industry.

This year, in addition to streamlining our directory, we have enriched it with comprehensive details on group programs available to our members. Furthermore, we’ve incorporated excerpts from the CMHC Rental Report, a LandlordBC 2024 Quick Reference Guide, and the Landlord Checklist, giving you an easy to reach resource for 2024!

Associate Members are distinguished within our organization for not only the professionalism they display as providers of services and products to our members, but also for the

We encourage all our members to call our Associate Members and Corporate Suppliers first when you need services or support in the management and maintenance of your rental properties. Associate Members are identified with the AM beside their name in the various category listings.

Tenants have 1 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

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.

Landlords may also obtain consent from their tenant to enter their unit not more than 30 days before entering.

When serving notices, whether it’s a notice of entry, rent increase, end of tenancy of 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.

CMHC RENTAL MARKET REPORT

Canada Overview, Vancouver and Toronto Market Insights

Adapted from CMHC, Rental Market Report, January 2024

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

In most major markets across the country, strong rental demand continued to outpace supply, resulting in tighter markets and lower affordability.

The national vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments reached a new low (1.5%) and average rent growth reached a new high (8.0%), as rental conditions continued to tighten in most rental markets.

Supply was unable to keep pace with demand despite an increase in the overall survey universe of rental units.

Immigration supported demand in most large centres such as Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver, while high interprovincial migration contributed in Calgary and Edmonton. Overall, employment gains and low homeownership affordability also supported demand.

Affordability decreased, as rent growth exceeded average wage growth by a wide margin. Lower-income renters faced belowaverage vacancy rates for the least expensive units in most cities.

Scan this for the full CMHC Report:

CANADA’S RENTAL VACANCY RATE FELL TO A NEW LOW AS DEMAND OUTPACED SUPPLY

The national vacancy rate declined for a second consecutive year. This notable decrease has left the vacancy rate at a new low of 1.5% in 2023 from 3.1% in 2020 and 2021. Rental markets are particularly tight in Canada’s main cities.

Strong immigration and employment growth pushed up rental demand at the national level. As for supply, it increased again, but not at a strong enough pace to keep up with rental demand.

VACANCY RATES FELL IN MOST OF CANADA’S LARGER MARKETS

In 2023, Toronto, Montréal, Calgary and Edmonton all reported significantly lower vacancy rates. Vacancy rates held steady in Vancouver and Ottawa. These markets remain tight, as this stability follows significant declines in 2022. In fact, Vancouver remains Canada’s tightest major market.

Project3_Layout 1 2023-09-13 12:33 PM Page 1

Calgary and Edmonton saw relatively steep declines, bringing the vacancy rate in both centres below the 3% mark. This change indicates that, in Alberta’s major markets, growth in rental demand was strong compared to growth in supply in 2023, which is consistent with their relatively strong demographic and employment conditions.

While Montréal didn’t see as large a decline as other major markets, trends in this city tend to drive aggregate national trends because of its large rental market, representing 28.4% of the 2023 rental universe. This exceeds the next 2 largest shares combined (Toronto at 14.6% and Vancouver at 5.5%).

5

IMMIGRATION, EMPLOYMENT GROWTH AND INCREASED COSTS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP SUPPORTED HIGHER RENTAL DEMAND

Strong rental demand was supported by:

• increased immigration. New immigrants have a high tendency to rent;

• employment growth for those aged 15 to 24. Younger households have an above-average tendency to rent; and

AVERAGE NATIONAL RENT GROWTH REACHED A NEW HIGH AS MAJOR RENTAL MARKETS TIGHTENED

Vacancy rates fell in most of Canada’s larger markets

In 2023, Toronto, Montréal, Calgary and Edmonton all reported significantly lower vacancy rates (Figure 1). Vacancy rates held steady in Vancouver and Ottawa. These markets remain tight, as this stability follows significant declines in 2022. In fact, Vancouver remains Canada’s tightest major market.

Growth in the average rent for 2-bedroom purpose-built apartments common to both the October 2022 and October 2023 surveys (referred to as “same-sample” rent growth) accelerated sharply to 8.0% from 5.6% over the previous 12-month period. This is a new high, well above the 1990to-2022 average of 2.8%. Rent growth exceeded both inflation (4.7%) and wage growth (5%), indicating a decline in affordability.

Calgary and Edmonton saw relatively steep declines, bringing the vacancy rate in both centres below the 3% mark. This change indicates that, in Alberta’s major markets, growth

including Vancouver and Toronto

Most markets reported higher rent growth, consistent with the observed decline in vacancy rates. Not surprisingly, Calgary and Edmonton saw the sharpest acceleration in rent growth among the largest markets.

Toronto, Montréal, and Vancouver also saw rent growth accelerate. While Vancouver’s vacancy rate held steady, it still posts one of the lowest rates in Canada.

In 2023, Toronto, Montréal, Calgary and Edmonton all reported significantly lower vacancy rates (Figure 1). Vacancy rates held steady in Vancouver and Ottawa. These markets remain tight, as this stability follows significant declines in 2022. In fact, Vancouver remains Canada’s tightest major market.

in 2023, which is consistent with their relatively strong demographic and employment conditions.

While Montréal didn’t see as large a decline as other major markets, trends in this city tend to drive aggregate national trends because of its large rental market, representing 28.4% of the 2023 rental universe. This exceeds the next 2 largest shares combined (Toronto at 14 6% and Vancouver at 5.5%)

NEW TENANTS IN VANCOUVER AND TORONTO FACED MUCH HIGHER RENTS

Tight market conditions were also reflected in high rents for turnover units again in 2023, the average rents in turnover units exceeded rents in non-turnover units by 13%. A unit is counted as “turned over” if it was occupied by a new tenant who moved in during the 12-month survey period. This difference varied across regions, with Calgary (9%), Edmonton (3%) and Montréal (10%) reporting much lower gaps than Vancouver (27%), Toronto (31%), and Ottawa (21%).

Calgary and Edmonton saw relatively steep declines, bringing the vacancy rate in both centres below the 3% mark. This change indicates that, in Alberta’s major markets, growth

Several factors can explain the higher “turnover” rent and how it compares to the non-turnover rent. Once a unit turns over, it becomes subject to market demand. In markets where supply is not keeping up with demand, rents can increase significantly when a unit is turned over. Another source of rent pressure on turnover units is renovations and repairs.

Demographic developments favoured demand, and had uneven regional impacts. The growth rate of the population aged 15 to 24 (a basin of potential new renters) accelerated in 2023, following weak growth in 2022. In fact, the 15-to-24 age group saw higher growth than other age groups in 2023 in most provinces. Alberta saw particularly strong growth in this age group, which was more than twice the national average. The Alberta case likely reflects high net inflows of working-age interprovincial migrants to the province. In 2022, Alberta was the destination for most interprovincial migrants by far, and inflows are even higher so far in 2023. Migrants are likely drawn to Alberta, at least partly, by the relatively strong employment growth in Calgary and Edmonton as well as lower home prices relative to Toronto and Vancouver.

While Montréal didn’t see as large a decline as other major markets, trends in this city tend to drive aggregate national trends because of its large rental market, representing 28.4% of the 2023 rental universe. This exceeds the next 2 largest shares combined (Toronto at 14 6% and Vancouver at 5.5%)

Net immigration to Canada has trended sharply higher since 2020, reaching new highs and providing a strong push to rental demand in the 3 largest cities of Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver. These markets are also the destination for many international students to Canada, the number of whom has also reached new highs since 2020, putting further upward pressure on rental demand in these centres.

In 2023, employment grew across Canada’s largest markets, contributing to rental demand. Employment growth was also observed for Canadians aged 15 to 24, prompting them to enter the rental market. There were important differences across the country. Québec and Ontario saw the highest employment growth for

15-to-24-year-olds, which was likely a factor driving demand in Toronto and Montréal.

The low affordability of homeownership continued to encourage rental demand, adding to the upward pressure from the labour market and demographic factors. Higher mortgage rates and high home prices in recent years decreased the capacity of renters to transition to homeownership. In Toronto and Vancouver, Canada’s most expensive homebuying markets, monthly housing expenses if buying a median-priced home in the second quarter of 2023 were over 50% of the median household income.

In 2023, most major centres saw turnover rates decline for a second consecutive year. For many, renting a newly turned over apartment or buying a home is significantly harder to achieve. Both of these factors contributed to the decline in turnover rates from 13.6% to 12.5% in 2023. A lower turnover rate indicates a reduced ability or willingness of households to leave a rental unit.

RENTAL CONDOMINIUM APARTMENT MARKETS ALSO TIGHTENED

Rented condominiums account for about 20% of all rented units in 17 surveyed centres across Canada. Two-thirds of Canadian rented condominiums are in Toronto and Vancouver (see these individual reports to understand their rental condominium markets).

Demand dynamics of the purpose-built market also drove the rental condominium market. The average vacancy rate for rental condominiums fell from 1.6% in 2022 to 0.9% in 2023. The average rent for 2-bedroom rental condominium apartments increased significantly from $1,929 to $2,049. Lower vacancies and higher rents signal tightening markets despite a 6.0% growth in the rental condominium universe. Overall, results for both the purposebuilt and rental condominium markets reinforce the importance of addressing supply gaps to improve housing affordability for Canadians.

VANCOUVER

The total vacancy rate was unchanged at 0.9%. Rental demand was driven by record immigration and decreases in homeownership affordability.

The purpose-built rental universe grew by 2.7%, mainly from new developments in the cities of Vancouver and Surrey.

Two-bedroom rents grew by 8.6% on average. This growth was driven by large increases in rents of units at turnover.

Affordability worsened for low-income households: vacancy rates for the most affordable units were lower than average, and these households already spend a greater share of their income on rent.

VACANCY RATES UNCHANGED AS NEW RENTAL SUPPLY WAS QUICKLY ABSORBED

The rental market in the Vancouver census metropolitan area (CMA) stayed constrained in 2023 as the average vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments remained unchanged at 0.9% . Record immigration to British Columbia put further pressure on the rental market, since recent immigrants tend to be renters. At the same time, rising mortgage costs and higher income requirements likely delayed home purchases, causing potential buyers to stay in the rental market.

The average vacancy rate was unchanged in the CMA. At the neighbourhood level, meanwhile, most areas saw decreased or unchanged vacancy rates despite an increase in the universe. Notably, the Kerrisdale/Westside neighbourhood in the City of Vancouver saw a vacancy rate decrease of 1.5 percentage points. This was likely due to increased uptake of new units in the neighbourhood, which more than compensated for an exceptional supply growth in 2022.

In the few areas that showed an increase in vacancy, the increase likely resulted from newly completed rental buildings that weren’t completely rented out.

IMMIGRATION DROVE RENTER DEMAND IN METRO VANCOUVER

Immigration was the main driver of population growth in the province in the first half of 2023. While net interprovincial migration declined, hitting negative levels during the survey period, net international migration to British Columbia grew by 56% compared to the first half of 2022.2 This surge in

Braden Batch, Senior Specialist

imm igration is in line with what was observed in other major centres in Canada and drove rental demand in those regions. In British Columbia, most new immigrants settle in Vancouver. Vancouver hosts several post-secondary institutions that enroll large international student populations. The University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University, the 2 largest institutions in the CMA, saw over 23,600 international students enrolled in 2023, similar to international enrollment in 2022.3, 4 There are approximately 16,500 student beds between these two universities.5,6 As post-secondary students most often choose to rent, increases in the international student population are likely to add to rental demand in the region.

RENT GROWTH CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE IN MOST OF METRO VANCOUVER, WORSENING AFFORDABILITY

Increases in same-sample rents continued to accelerate in 2023, as the average

increase across all bedroom types reached 9.7%, up from 6.3% in 2022. Vancouver falls under the provincially legislated rent increase limit of 2%, which holds the rents of the vast majority of units below market levels.

challenge as asking rents are typically above the current average. Lowerincome renters are also more likely to seek more affordable but smaller units or shared living arrangements that will fit their budget but that may not meet their housing needs.

The availability of affordable market units remained low in Metro Vancouver. The vacancy rate for 2-bedroom units that are the cheapest 25% in the CMA was 0.6%. Low vacancy rates for cheaper units will likely lead to low turnover as renters are left with few options.

The average turnover rate for all bedroom types fell further in 2023, to 8.1% from 10.7% in 2022. In the CMA, the average rent for units that turned over were 26.6% higher than units that didn’t turn over in 2023. Should rents continue to increase at present rates, the turnover rates would likely keep falling as long-tenured renters face large rent premiums if they move.

As rent control holds continuously occupied units below market prices, decreasing turnover rates lead to smaller total increases in revenue for rental owners. Given recent cost inflation, it’s likely that rent increases

weren’t enough to offset higher building maintenance costs. This would lead to lower incentives for investments in rental developments.

RENTAL CONDOMINIUM GROWTH CONTINUED TO BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF RENTAL SUPPLY GROWTH IN METRO VANCOUVER

De mand for rental condominiums reflected overall tightening of rental demand in Vancouver as the vacancy rate for these units fell from 2.2% in 2022 to 0.9% in 2023. At the same time, this segment expanded by 6,329 units, or 7.2%. While this growth continued to be significantly higher than the ten-year average by 62%, this was a slowdown compared to the 7,850 units added to the condominium rental universe in 2022. Most of this drop is attributable to fewer newly added apartmentcondominium that were rented in the same year.

This is mainly due to fewer condo completions in 2023. It is also likely that prevailing mortgage rates have discouraged some potential investors from purchasing and renting more new condos this year.

HIGHLIGHTS

The vacancy rate increased slightly to 1.6%, but remained low as renters absorbed most of the new supply.

Continued record-high immigration and a robust labour market supported rental demand in 2023.

The average rent for purpose-built two-bedroom apartments grew by 7.9%, driven by continued rental demand.

The purpose-built rental universe grew by 5%, continuing rapid expansion of rental stock, especially in Langford.

Affordability for low-income earners worsened as wages were unable to keep up with rising rents.

VACANCIES REMAIN LOW AS RENTAL DEMAND PERSISTS

The overall vacancy rate for purpose-built rental apartments was statistically unchanged at 1.6% in 2023, showing signs that the rental market is still tight.

The increase in vacancy in these 2 zones was likely due to high universe growth of 5.2% and 9.5%, respectively. The growth in these zones made up more than half of the growth of the purpose-built rental apartment universe in 2023. Together, there was an estimated increase of 88 vacant units in these areas.

In the condominium rental sector, persistently strong rental demand was also evident. The average vacancy rate fell to 0.1%, a negligible difference from 2022. Continued near- zero vacancy rates support the need for more rental supply in the region.

STRONG IMMIGRATION AND LABOUR MARKETS SUPPORT DEMAND IN THE REGION

Record immigration in the first half of 2023 into British Columbia supported rental demand in the Victoria CMA. While the large majority of immigrants to the province are likely to settle in Vancouver, continued immigration is also likely to result in more migrants settling in Victoria. Immigration to the province was the primary driver of population growth in 2023 as net interprovincial migration was negative for the first half of the year.

A strong labour market also supported demand as the unemployment rate fell slightly in 2023 compared to 2022. While unemployment

PURPOSE BUILT RENTAL MARKET

has risen from recent lows, the overall unemployment rate remains near pre-COVID lows.2

The 2 largest sectors by employment in the Victoria CMA saw significant growth in employment over the past year. These sectors grew by:

• 48% (public administration)

• 16% (health care and social assistance)

The Victoria CMA is home to several postsecondary institutions that are open to international students. Near the city, the University of Victoria hosts an estimated 10,000 international students, while only supplying enough student housing for a quarter of them. These students are likely to seek rental units near the Saanich zone.

PURPOSE-BUILT UNIVERSE CONTINUES TO EXPAND QUICKLY TO MEET RENTAL MARKET DEMANDS

The purpose-built apartment universe grew by 4.9% in 2023, a pace similar to last year’s growth. This supply growth continues to be well above the trailing 10-year average of 2.6%, as significant shifts in Victoria’s rental supply began in 2017.

In the City of Victoria itself, the universe grew by 4.9%, compared to a slightly higher 5.0% in the rest of the CMA. Outside of the city, growth was especially high in the area stretching from Langford to Sooke. New developments in Langford, especially, are driving the rental universe growth in the region, as the city is relatively affordable and development policy is attractive.

Increasing rents put pressure on affordability, especially for lower-income earners. A minimum-wage worker renting at the average rate would have to spend over 40% of their monthly income to rent. Those seeking new accommodations are likely to face rents in the market that are higher than average, constraining renter budgets even more.

more quickly due primarily to high rental demand. When long-tenured units turn over, their rents increase to better reflect market pricing. Units that experienced turnover in 2023 were 41.5% more expensive than units that didn’t turn over in the CMA.

At the same time, turnover rates increased slightly, mainly driven by increases in turnover in older buildings. However, turnovers in Sidney and Langford-Sooke remain well above the CMA average, as average rents in those areas are also higher than the average in the CMA. Renters there are less discouraged from moving, since they are less likely to be renting at a rate much lower than current market rates in the same area.

New rental completions in areas with small existing rental universes are likely to drive average rents higher in the area, as seen in Sidney.
