  Tenancy Problems - Expert Advice  
           
       

Expert opinion on landlord-tenant disputes is provided by Wm. F. Watson, a former Member of the Arbitration Review Panel of British Columbia, which was the body formerly responsible for reviewing and examining decisions and orders made by Arbitrators in landlord-tenant disputes throughout the province.

As a Member of the Arbitration Review Panel, Mr. Watson's role was to examine and review Arbitrators' decisions and orders, conduct hearings and reviews of landlord-tenant disputes, set aside and/or confirm decisions, order new hearings, etc.

 
 


From over 10,000 unique visitors per month, Mr. Watson provides practical and candid on-line answers to questions posed on how the Residential Tenancy Act of BC applies to your situation - based on his opinion, knowledge of the system, his understanding of the law, his training and experience in judging real landlord-tenant cases, and from his perspective as an authority who was responsible for issuing legally binding decisions and orders in landlord-tenant matters. 

There is an up-front fee of $20 for each tenancy question answered, which requires a secure on-line donation through PayPal to the African Preschools Society, a Canadian registered charity (BN85888 0149 RR0001)  The Society's mission is to build and maintain preschools in impoverished rural African villages. Because of prevailing poverty, these children do not have access to books, toys, or playgrounds, so your donation not only gets you an answer to your tenancy question, but your money goes toward providing preschool education, nutrition and basic health care to disadvantaged children who would otherwise go without.

For your tenancy question to be answered, you must go to www.africanpreschools.org click on 'Donations', click 'Submit Donation', follow the directions, pay on-line, then submit the PayPal generated donation confirmation number along with your landlord-tenant question through ask_question_form.

That's it.

The more we share, the more we benefit.

A: If I understand correctly, you think the landlord is going to try to hose you for the security deposit.
