Start with the purpose, not the PDF name

• Dispute about rent, repairs, damage or a deposit: begin with the Application for Dispute Resolution. A tenant seeking only return of a security deposit is exempt from the ordinary $20 application fee. Filing steps.
• Ending an ordinary tenancy: find the correct landlord or tenant standard notice; if claiming statutory cause, use the matching early—cause form instead. Compare termination routes.
• Leaving because of family violence: use the tenant application for a director’s certificate first; a subsequent signed notice with that certificate follows a different procedure. Read the confidential process.
• Repair problem: use the Tenant’s Request for Repairs and keep delivery and photograph records. Repair options.
• Entry, abandoned belongings or service: use the corresponding official notice, inventory or application; the rules are not interchangeable. Entry rules · Abandoned property · Service methods.

Check before sending: download the current government PDF, fill and sign every required section, keep a dated copy, and verify the correct recipient, service method and timing. Simply opening or completing a PDF does not file it with the Residential Tenancies Office.

Choose correctly before serving

Standard termination and early termination for cause are not interchangeable. A tenant return-of-deposit claim is different from a landlord compensation claim. Some forms require a certificate, signature, affidavit or proof of service. Use the official application process rather than selecting forms by number alone.

Form selection and fees

The government’s official forms catalogue currently lists the separate Application for Dispute Resolution, Application for Certification, applications concerning personal property and specialized family-violence documents. The ordinary $20 Residential Tenancies Office dispute application fee does not apply to a tenant’s application for return of the security deposit. Selecting a government PDF does not itself file an application or meet a service deadline.
