How much notice do I have to give if I wish to vacate?

Ending a Fixed Term agreement You are required under the Residential Tenancy Act to give a minimum of 28 days’ notice in writing any day prior to your lease expiry. Ending a Periodic agreement (A continuing lease past the lease end date) Once your lease expires, you are required under the residential tenancy act to give a minimum of 21 days’ notice in writing. Breaking your lease will incur charges that subsidise the Landlords costs to find a new Tenant. The Landlords approval must be received for the suitable Tenant to commence. The lease break charges are as follows: The tenant is responsible for rent until the day before new Tenant/s occupies the property or until the lease date ends, whichever is sooner. The tenant will also allow the Agent two (2) clear days between tenancies, the rent for this period is payable by the tenant. The tenant must pay re-letting costs and advertising that are originally charged to the owner as per the attached Residential Tenancy Fact Sheet. This is called a re-letting fee and the amount is calculated depending on the amount of weeks remaining in the tenancy.

How much Bond is collected?

A Security Bond is collected at the commencement of the tenancy and lodged with the Tenancies Branch of Office of Consumer and Business Affairs. A bond of 4 weeks rent is collected or 6 weeks if rent is in excess of $250 per week.

How can I report maintenance?

To report maintenance please click on and follow on this link. If your maintenance is urgent, please select the option on the reporting system.

Please ensure all maintenance is reported ASAP, as all damage incurred from delays in reporting maintenance are considered the tenants responsibility.

How can I report maintenance?

An initial inspection of your home will be carried out in the first six to eight weeks of your tenancy and then approximately every 12-14 weeks. You will be notified in writing 7-10 days prior to an inspection. You are not required to be at home for the inspection unless you wish to be. Please leave a note in a prominent position with anything you wish to bring to your property managers attention or email them prior to the inspection with any issues you may have. We expect that your home, inside and out will be well maintained and presented in a clean and tidy manner. If I am dissatisfied with the routine inspection, you will be advised to this effect and if deemed necessary, another inspection will be undertaken.
