Hello GH - If I am understanding you correctly, you want the government to step in and tell unit owners they cannot rent out their units. If this is correct and you fear that your condo building will turn into an apartment building, you should probably sell your unit and rent/buy a house somewhere else. The government would be foolish to make any changes that you allude to in your post. First, the number of available rentals would likely decrease significantly, since roughly three times as many condo buildings as opposed to apartment buildings have been built over the past decade. Further, if these units are removed from the rental market, then the rental prices will increase (i.e., supply is less than demand). Second, condo purchases would likely decrease, since who would want to buy a unit if they cannot rent it out if needed. I hope the government does not do as you suggest they should.
