How To Not Lose at
BC's RTB Dispute-Resolution Hearings with
Superior Written & Video Evidence Presentations I won/assisted in more than ten successful Residential Tenancy Branch Dispute Resolution disputes and reviews. This is what I did: (Don't ask 'why' - explanations will take too long.) • Had hard evidence in the form of email, recorded phone calls, FOI government documents, a Title Search, or text screen shots or videos. • Did not use the online application form. File in person with your paperwork in hand. • Used additional sheets for text. e.g, wrote, “See attached pages 1 through 7” • My adverse party filed paperwork. Therefore, I provided written “submission” replies in the form of a spreadsheet or “Word table” in landscape format, quoting facts and legal precedents (also called “authorities”, with page and paragraph references.) • Did not use the optional Monetary Order Form. Uploaded evidence in video form, with annotations. Always used Registered Mail. Never relied on personal service of documents.
See what I've won, so far: • Got the landlord's 2-month eviction and 1-month eviction notices cancelled. RTB files #866984, #31022471, #31021367, #31021691 • Rent reduced by $105/month #866987 Rent reduced by another $457/month #31027213 Damages in the form of one months' rent, $1,257 in my favour. #31027213 Arbitrator put landlord on notice for sec.95 Administrative Penalties ($5K/day) #31027213 pg. 5: “As a note, the Landlord is now on notice that continued noncompliance with the Act may result in Being nominated to Guinness World Records as the winning-est renter Administrative Penalties being recommended”
