Which tenancy rules apply to my rental?

Five questions. "Not sure" is always an answer, and it changes the result honestly: you'll get a list of what still needs establishing rather than a guess. Nothing you enter is stored.

Where is the rental?

Question 1

Where is the rental?

City limits decide the Vancouver layer. Burnaby, Richmond and the UEL are outside it despite Vancouver addresses.

How is it rented?

Question 2

How is it rented?

The Act covers residential tenancies; short-term and commercial use fall outside it.

Does the tenant share a kitchen or bathroom with the owner?

Question 3

Does the tenant share a kitchen or bathroom with the owner?

Sharing with the owner takes the arrangement outside the Act. Sharing with other tenants does not.

What kind of housing is it?

Question 4

What kind of housing is it?

Manufactured home sites have their own Act; program housing may be partly exempt; SRA adds a city by-law.

Is there a certificate of occupancy or program record you can check?

Question 5 · Optional

Is there a certificate of occupancy or program record you can check?

Not part of the verdict; it tells the result whether to route you to the records first.
