The alleged violations “demonstrate that the respondents are unwilling to refrain from the unlawful acts and are a clear case of flouting the City’s bylaws,” read one of four petitions filed in B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday.

The filings are the latest legal fights over short-term rental laws in B.C. Amala’s CEO, Angela Mason, is one of hundreds of property owners and managers currently taking the provincial government to court over new laws which they say could ruin their businesses.

But this is someone’s business. Who are we to say that our right to have somewhere to live should interfere with their need to make money by hoarding essentials!

Someone think of the landlords!
