A recently-released Statistics Canada study of evicted tenants found that disabled people are overrepresented among recent evictees.

The study, released Friday, also found that no-fault evictions β€” including an owner moving into the unit, selling the unit, or performing major renovations β€” are the most common reason for a tenancy to be terminated across the country.

Multiple studies have previously shown that B.C. leads the country in no-fault evictions, with Metro Vancouver previously being named the eviction capital of Canada.

However, the study's finding that disabled people were overrepresented among evictees has one disabled policy analyst asking for accessibility to be put front and centre when it comes to building new affordable housing.

Found the person fraudulently claiming disability I guess?

If I could get a WSIB claim I wouldn't be drinking beer at 1am on a Tuesday.
