CanLII is an online resource that can help you find relevant case law. When viewing the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA) on the CanLII website, you will notice a square speech-bubble and number to the right of each section. By clicking that icon, and then “Citing documents”, you will gain access to a list of cases – mostly from the BC Supreme Court and BC Court of Appeal – that have referenced that section of the RTA. From there, you can filter your results by jurisdiction, court/tribunal, and date. If you register for an account with CanLII, you can also use their “Lexbox”, which offers additional features such as the ability to save cases and set alerts.
