Most landlords and tenants understand their rights and responsibilities and they choose to comply with the Residential Tenancy Act and the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act. When landlords and tenants disagree, they sort it out on their own or use the dispute resolution services offered by the Residential Tenancy Branch.

In serious repeated cases of non-compliance with Residential Tenancy Act or the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act, the Residential Tenancy Branch may consider applying administrative penalties. Administrative penalties are not an alternative to dispute resolution.

Administrative penalties may be as much as $5,000 a day.
