Some renters in Nanaimo could soon see added protections if displaced

Landlords of some rental properties in Nanaimo who are redeveloping their buildings could soon have to pay displaced tenants four months rent.
Additionally, the owners could have to pay compensation for the moving costs to the tenants, and the landlord may have to provide tenant-relocation assistance in finding a comparable replacement unit for each tenant being displaced.
These ideas, and more, were discussed at the City of Nanaimo’s governance and priorities committee meeting on Monday,
