The Clearwater Times reports the RCMP in Clearwater have received multiple calls in April regarding landlord and tenant issues.

These landlord and tenant disputes are distracting the police.

The RCMP explain both landlords and tenants should understand the British Columbia Residential Tenancy Act and need to be aware of their rights.

Landlords and Tenants Should Know the Law

 This information is clearly laid out online at www.rto.gov.bc.ca:

 “The Residential Tenancy Branch provides landlords and tenants with information and dispute resolution services. The information on this website will help you understand your rights and responsibilities under British Columbia’s Residential Tenancy Act and Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act.”

The RCMP ask landlords and tenants to please review the information before you act.  There is a process involved that needs to be followed.

Also, remember that sometimes law enforcement are not totally aware of landlord and tenant laws!
