The recent article, B.C. nixes Victoria vacancy control plea, group says rent hike stop-gap needed, is proof our government is in bed with landlords and doesn't give a damn about renters, who make up about 60 per cent of Victoria's population.

It's time for an advocacy group to be set up to protect renters from exorbitant rent increases, which just cause inflation throughout the economy.
