Residential Tenancy Branch dispute resolution offers a range of remedies for tenants and landlords. For example, an arbitrator can:
- order a party to follow the law;
- order a party to pay monetary compensation or damages to the other party;
- order a landlord to repair a rental unit or property;
- give a tenant permission to withhold money from future rent payments;
- give a tenant permission to change their locks;
- cancel or uphold an eviction notice; and
- grant an Order of Possession to a tenant or landlord.
Multiple Claims
Arbitrators can rule on multiple claims at the same hearing – as long as they are related and have been included as part of the same dispute resolution application. If you forget to list a claim on your application, or try to add an unrelated one, you may have to submit a second application for a separate hearing.
