AMENDMENTS TO THE RESIDENTIAL TENANCY ACT DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS

(File Ref. No.) (REDMS No.)

CNCL-103

See Page CNCL-103 for full report

GENERAL PURPOSES COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

(1)

That Richmond City Council supports the following resolution in principle:

“WHEREAS the Province of British Columbia has enacted legislation through the Residential Tenancy Act (RTA) to protect tenants from unacceptable living conditions;

AND WHEREAS Part 5 of the RTA outlines a process for resolving disputes that provides the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB) with the authority to make any order necessary to give effect to the rights, obligations and prohibitions under the RTA, but in order to enforce an RTB order, it must be filed in the Court and enforced as a judgement or an order of the Court;

AND WHEREAS tenants who wish to enforce their rights under the RTA must navigate a complex bureaucratic and legal process and be prepared to spend significant amounts of time and money to engage with the process, creating barriers for tenants to access the RTA, especially tenants with low incomes or other vulnerabilities;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Union of BC municipalities urge the Province of British Columbia, in consultation with municipal governments, to establish minimum occupancy standards for rental properties and to increase the effectiveness and accessibility of the residential tenancy dispute resolution process by amending the Residential Tenancy Act such that the Residential Tenancy Branch enforces their dispute resolution decisions or orders, and does so within a reasonable timeframe.”

(2)

That a letter indicating Richmond City Council’s support of the resolution be sent to UBCM, local MLAs and the appropriate opposition critics requesting their support and request for immediate action; and

(3)

That staff review Richmond’s experience with the Rental Premises Standard of Maintenance Bylaw No. 8159.
