Question 1

What Is The Landlord Required To Do With A Tenant's Abandoned Personal Property?

Accepted Answer

When a tenant leaves behind personal possessions, the landlord is required to safely store the tenant’s belongings either in the rental unit or in another secure location and provide a written inventory of the belongings, along with printed photographs to the Residential Tenancies Office as well as to the tenant, if the landlord can locate the tenant. The landlord is required to obtain approval from the Residential Tenancies Office before disposing or selling any abandoned personal property.

Question 2

If The Landlord Makes An Application Against The Tenant, Will The Tenant Find Out?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the landlord usually has to serve the tenant with the landlord’s application. The tenant will usually have a certain time to prepare a response to the application. There are few circumstances where a judge makes an order without notice to the other side.

Question 3

Can A Landlord Prohibit Cannabis Smoking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a landlord can restrict smoking of cannabis as a term or condition of the rental agreement

Question 4

Must A Landlord Give A Copy Of A Signed Rental Agreement To The Tenant?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the landlord is required to give the tenant a copy of the Residential Tenancies Act as well as a duplicate copy of a written rental agreement within 10 days after the date of signing by all parties or written notice of a verbal or implied rental agreement within 10 days after agreeing. If the landlord fails to do this, the tenant may withhold rent until the landlord has provided the required documents. These documents may be provided in paper form or electronically to an address provided to the landlord by the tenant.
