Which deadline applies?
- RTB-60 Section 2. The window to give notice for certain terms about entry, occupants or guests closed October 26, 2026. A valid notice generally takes effect 30 days after deemed receipt, subject to a valid rescission.
- RTB-61. The window to give a rescission notice also closed October 26. The tenant had to be deemed to receive it before the Section 2 changes took effect. RTB-61 covers Section 2 only.
- RTB-60 Section 3. For an agreement entered into on or before October 26, that was also the notice deadline. For qualifying agreements entered into October 27 through November 30, a landlord can give the limited notice within 21 days of entering the agreement. This covers changes to or removal of terms inconsistent with the December 1, 2026 rules. A valid Section 3 amendment takes effect December 1.
If you received a notice
Keep the signed agreement, the notice and attachments, and records of the date and method of delivery. Check which section of RTB-60 was used and compare the date the notice was given with the applicable cutoff. For Section 2 or a rescission, also check the deemed-receipt date.
This transition applies to qualifying supportive housing under section 4.2 of BC’s Residential Tenancy Act. For the prescribed PDFs, service details and examples of what to check, use the individual form guides.
