The three types of issue on Section 1
- Uninhabitable property or frustration: Request an order of possession where unforeseen events made the rental unit or site uninhabitable, or the tenancy agreement is otherwise legally frustrated. Describe the event, dates and evidence, rather than treating any repair problem as frustration.
- Manufactured-home park rule compliance: Seek an order that the tenant comply with a valid manufactured-home park rule. Identify the actual rule, when the landlord notified the tenant of it, the alleged conduct and supporting records.
- Other unlisted request: Describe a legally available landlord remedy not listed in the ordinary application, stating what order is requested and why. The form also allows a request to recover the $100 filing fee paid with the main application.
How to prepare and submit the supplement
Complete Section 1 — Landlord Issues, selecting the appropriate claim and explaining its specific facts. Complete Section 2 — Declaration with the primary applicant's or authorized representative's printed name, signature and date. File it together with the applicable RTB-12L-CT current-tenancy application or RTB-12L-PT past-tenancy application, as appropriate. Paper submissions are made in person at an RTB or participating Service BC office.
Evidence and service
For a claim of frustration, include inspection, repair, emergency or occupancy records showing the change in circumstances. For park-rule compliance, provide the actual rulebook and delivery/contravention records. The main application controls the fee, respondent identification and proceeding-package service; serve the supplement and its evidence on the other party through the authorized process.
Common mistakes
Sending RTB-12L-O without a signed primary application, using it in place of a legally required notice, or requesting a remedy with no statutory basis. An application is not itself an order of possession.
