With this form, you can ask an arbitrator to order documents in a way other than that required by the Housing Lease Act. The Residential Rent Act (RTA) is the most important law you should understand, but it is not the only law that applies to tenants and landlords in BC. This is especially true when it comes to repairing and maintaining rental properties. While the ATR generally finds that homeowners must meet legal health, safety and housing standards, they are not doing a good job of explaining what this means. If a tenant rents the finished house himself, the standard tenancy agreement applies. Landlords can use this form to provide evidence related to a direct possession order application and cash instruction for an unpaid rent or a service company.

Illegal secondary suites: If your city discovers that you are living in an illegal secondary suite, it could force your landlord to dislodge you by using a month-long eviction notice for cause in accordance with Section 47 (1) (k) of the RTA.

For this reason, if your landlord refuses to make repairs to your illegal suite, your safest legal option may be to request a repair order via the RTB. Illegal secondary suites are covered by the RTA and the RTB will not inform your city that you are residing in one. Add this form with the additional names of tenants or landlords. When a new tenant moves into a rented apartment, the landlord is required to go through the unit, with the tenant checking all items in the state inspection report, imposing conditions that do not work properly or the damage already existing.

Owners should commit to addressing all issues; this will help ensure a successful owner-tenant relationship. Owners must use this form to terminate or limit a service or establishment to a rental unit or manufactured place of residence. Much of the province`s specially constructed rental housing has taken time and is required through routine maintenance.
