Document Summary
Legislative pieces: landlord and tenant board, neighbourhood legal services, community legal services, law society referral service, residential tenancies act (rta) Provides information for the residential tenancies act. Through a board not a court. How to handle disputes that need to be heard by a third party. Provide free legal services to low income individuals. Provides free legal services to low income individuals / students. Gives referrals to a lawyer practicing in the relevant area. Provincial legislation 2006 (each province has something very similar) Governs the relationship between landlords and tenants only. States the rights and responsibilities of each party. On valid on residential units, not commercial. The board hears disputes and makes orders: they are not judges. If over this, then a dispute must be made (very rare that they accept) if not go to court. If the rta does not apply to your specific situation, there are still protections under common law and or other statutes.
