Special application not covered by this calculator

The $100 option is for an ordinary RTB dispute application, and the $50 option is for review consideration. Under Residential Tenancy Regulation section 8(a), an application for a rent increase above the regulated limit has a separate fee of $300 plus $10 per rental unit, capped at $600. Do not use the ordinary $100 estimate for that application.

Official RTB regulation, sections 8–9.
