In BC, there is a limit on how much the landlord can raise the rent. IIRC it is 2% annually. The BC gov just announced a freeze on rent hikes for this year.
Also, it's not that easy to kick a person out now if they are a good tenant. Basically, if caught, the LL has to pay the tenant 12 months worth of rent.
Things have changed a lot since we were kids.
