Hooray! No more waiting two to three months to evict the tenant who chooses not to pay the rent. If a tenant doesn’t pay the full rent within five days after receiving a (new!) 10 day Notice to End Tenancy, the landlord can apply for a “Direct Request” Order of Possession. The landlord must submit certain documents that will be reviewed by a Dispute Resolution Officer, who will then issue an Order of Possession in a couple of days, with no hearing being held.

Can a "Direct Request" Order of Possession be made online or does one have to go into an RTA office in Burnaby or Victoria in person to do that?
ReplyDeleteYou cannot make an application online; it must be in person. You can do so at one of RTB branches (Victoria, Burnaby or Kelowna) or at your local ServiceBC centre. A list of them is available at http://www.servicebc.gov.bc.ca/locations/.
