RTB administrative penalties: special review process

Reviewing administrative penalties is separate from reconsidering a tenancy dispute order.

Determine the correct route

Identify the notice of administrative penalty, ground for review, procedural time limit and required evidence before using RTB-56.

Forms and documents to consider

Before applying, responding or serving

  • Check jurisdiction and the precise document version, number and legal purpose.
  • Write down what happened and when. Keep your rental agreement, notices, payment records and messages.
  • Check the official notice and RTB instructions for how to deliver it, when it counts as received, and the deadline.
  • Do not assume a form makes you eligible for the remedy or that an application automatically stays another order.

Critical distinction

RTB-56 and RTB-2 are different forms for different decisions.
