Yeah, fuck renovictions. Honestly, enough of this having your cake and eating it too shit. Landlords who want to renovate should be responsible for all moving/accomodation expenses and be required to give right of first refusal to preexisting tenants at the same existing rent or at most the maximum allowable rental increase for that year.
I would go even further and require that landlords who want to rent out a place have to irreversibly change and rezone it so its a rental that they or their family may not occupy or boot out existing tenants based on the persknal use loophole.
Edit: if there are issues with incentives, credits can be discussed but at no point should kicking people to the curb be allowed as a loophole or acceptable outcome in any sense.
