Vancouver housing co-op Helen’s Court faces $1.036 million in property transfer tax by June 1 .

Co-op members are furious, warning that this unexpected financial burden could displace vulnerable tenants.

The tax stems from a provision in provincial legislation that treats lease renewals for terms over 30 years as if they were property sales, triggering the tax, even though ownership does not change hands.
