The moratorium on evictions has been in effect since March 30 and will continue for non-payment of rent. As the province moves forward with B.C.’s Restart Plan, the ban on evictions for reasons other than unpaid rent will be lifted later this month.

The government says it is committed to giving people advance notice before lifting the moratorium on evictions for non-payment of rent at a future date.

Between April 9, when the TRS program began, and June 15, BC Housing received more than 90,000 applications.

The TRS program provides $500 per month for eligible households with dependents and $300 per month for eligible households with no dependents.

Landlords wishing to have an existing notice of eviction enforced will be able to apply to begin that process July 1.
