‘For 7 Per Cent

Rent Hike Limit

The allowable annual rent
increase in B.C. will be eut from
10.6 per cent to seven per cent
effective May 1, Premier Bill
Bennett announced this week.

Bennett said he will intro-
duce a legislative amendment
soon to change the 10.6-per-
cent figure in the Landlord and
Tenant Act. It is not expected
to be opposed by any opposition
members.

Landlords who have issued
statutory three-montli notices
of increase after Feb. 1. may
increase rents by a maximum of
seven per cent, Deputy Rent-
alsman Derek Tant said later.

He said any increase
notices effective after that date
which are for more than seven
per cent would be rolled back to
seven per cent.

Premier Bennett said the
reduction is in keeping with the
government's call for all seg-
ments of the economy to
practise restraint.

“The seven per cent will

cover the landlords’ actual cost ©

» The ever-increasing ‘en-

tion in the Nelson Forest .dis-
trict was of major concern.
Logging the timber before the
disease destroys the tree ap-
peared to be one solution; then
burning the residue at the ap-
propriate larva stage of the
beetle.

Existing licences and per-
mits in the affected areas
complicated the problem of
control and remedy, because of
maximum cutting allowances
having been allocated.

so serious that solutions must
be found to control the spread
