The province of British Columbia has developed a new Residential Tenancy website to help tenants and landlords understand their responsibilities and access the information they need on tenancy laws and regulations.

The website, which was launched on September 16, is aligned with the province’s Citizens @ Centre goal, set to increase online self-service options for British Columbians. The province has also committed to making government data, information and services more accessible to citizens of B.C.

The redesign features:

• Searchable information;
• Helpful tips for landlords and tenants;
• Online forms; and
• Contact information.

Landlords and tenants are encouraged to use this site to better understand their rights and responsibilities.The Residential Tenancy Branch can also help answer questions or provide dispute resolution services for problems that landlords and tenants can’t solve on their own.
