Know the process

The Residential Tenancies Office administers the province’s Residential Tenancies Act, 2018 and can mediate or adjudicate disputes. The main forms are government-issued PDFs. An independent website should never substitute a fabricated download or promise that a date is legally final.

These tools help you estimate dates and amounts using the rules. Some questions still need an official decision—for example, whether rent can change during a fixed-term lease. Use the official sources below before filing, serving or moving out.
