Does Vancouver have rent control? I thought rent control was one of the big causes of the SF housing crisis... or so people say. For me, at least, it's the only way I can afford to live in the city!

Yes, BC sets sensible maximum rates that rent can be increased per year (usually on the order of inflation, ~2%).

Only if you rent month-to-month. And if a month-to-month tenant leaves, you increase rent by any amount you want. Source: http://www.vancouversun.com/business/Daphne+Bramham+tier+sys...
