New Residential Tenancy Act Changes

These changes are applicable to evictions given for owner occupancy of the rental unit and include:

  • The notice period was extended 

  • There’s now a web portal landlords are required to use for these types of evictions

  • Tenants were given more time to dispute an eviction 

It does get a bit complicated though, because since these changes were initially announced July 18, 2024, some of the notice periods have been dialed back. This was as a result of industry input, especially since the original 4 months notice period would make it very difficult (if not impossible) for buyers to finance the purchase of a property subject to these new notice requirements, especially with CMHC. 

So as of August 21, 2024 (prior to this date it’s 4 months though), if the current owner/landlord provides notice to the tenant on behalf of a purchaser who wants to owner occupy the property, that notice period is now 3 months. If the current owner/landlord wants to owner occupy themselves, then the notice period is now 4 months. 

Here’s the government press release regarding these updated changes: https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2024HOUS0141-001239

Here’s a link to current eviction guidelines, note the longer 4 month notice period is still in effect until August 21, 2024 and their website still reflects that: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/residential-tenancies/ending-a-tenancy/evictions/types-of-evictions

If you’re in a situation where these changes may apply (either as a landlord or tenant), and you need any clarification, I would suggest reaching out to Residential Tenancy directly.
