Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Work with municipalities and developers to update zoning requirements and regulations to encourage more multi-unit and mixed-use construction projects

    "To help address these issues, a re-elected Hogan Government will work with municipalities and developers to review zoning requirements and existing regulations to encourage more multi-unit and mixed use construction projects to increase density and availability of rental and affordable housing units." — Our Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Provide tax incentives for homeowners to rent their apartments, if they haven't already

    "In addition to continuing the $4 million Secondary and Basement Suite Incentive Program that provides up to $40,000 for homeowners to create an affordable home within their existing property, we will also introduce tax incentives for homeowners who already have un-rented apartments to list them on the market." — Our Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Provide low-interest financing to developers for purpose-built rental housing, and conversion of existing non-residential structures into rental properties

    "A Liberal Government will also begin providing developers with a low-interest financing program that provides capital to assist with the construction of purpose-built rental housing, including modular construction projects, and conversions of existing non-residential structures into rental properties." — Our Plan for Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-10-08

We don't have any PC policies on Rental housing.

NDP

  • Introduce a Tenants' Bill of Rights
  • Limit rent increases
  • End no-cause evictions
  • Ban application and holding fees
