What are my rights as a renter in the Metro Vancouver Area?
If you intend to live off campus and have little or no experience renting accommodation in BC, you should learn about your rights and responsibilities before signing a rental agreement (known as a lease).
We strongly recommend that you visit the website to read the 鈥淭enant Survival Guide鈥� or download multilingual fact sheets on various topics. TRAC also offers a free online in partnership with the Justice Education Society, which is a great introduction to renting housing in BC.
The of the Government of British Columbia is another good resource for more information.
