What was this engagement about? 

As a commitment of the 2023 Confidence and Supply Agreement, the Government of Yukon agreed to begin a review of the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act in June 2023. The review followed the implementation of a rent index and removal of no-cause evictions from the Act in January 2023.

During an initial targeted stakeholder engagement, several key issues were identified, including rent control, the reasons for ending a tenancy, accountability and education for landlords and tenants and the role of the Residential Tenancies Office. The Residential Tenancies Office also identified issues that they found in administering the Act.

From February 1 to 29, the Government of Yukon invited feedback from all landlords and tenants and others with an interest in the topic.

How will my input make a difference?

Your response will help inform the Government of Yukon’s work to update the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act so that it can better meet the needs of Yukon tenants and landlords.
