4.5万BC居民申请了补贴 你领了吗

眼看着4月就要结束了,5月1日将是下一个房租缴纳日,对于很多租客来说,仍然将是非常纠结、挣扎的一天。拿什么交房租又变成了一个大难题。

从疫情爆发以来,面临大范围的企业工业关停,加拿大失业人数超过100万,房租的缴纳成了大难题。

尽管各种“求租金减免”的呼声强烈,但统计显示,4月的房租缴纳情况并没有太糟糕,有85%的加拿大人都缴纳了4月的房租。

但至于5月?恐怕将会比较糟糕。

CIBC银行常务首席经济学家Benjamin Tal透漏,其中缴纳租金比率更高的城市是温哥华和多伦多等大区。有90%的租客都交了4月的房租。

这两地的房租缴纳情况较好,分析认为是BC省和安省都有相应的措施,辅助房租缴纳。安省租客可以申请该省的紧急援助金;而BC省则可以申请每月300-500的租金补贴。

截止到上周五,统计显示BC省已有超过4.5万居民申请了省府的租金补贴。

此外,BC省在疫情期间还禁止了驱逐令、禁止租金上涨等。

而为了能让所有租客都可以申请到这笔援助金,省府住房部(BC Housing)甚至表示,即使房东是未登记注册的“非法套房”出租者,也可以申请到这笔政府补贴。

BC Housing表示,有很多“违法套房”租赁是BC租房市场中的重要组成部分。对于申请租金补贴的所有信息,他们都不会与政府其他部门分享,因此,即使是非法套房,也可以申请。
