Tenants, co-tenants, tenants in common and occupants are spoken of in the RTO Policy Guideline found at http://www.rto.gov.bc.ca/documents/GL13.pdf If you've taken a deposit from the fellow you want to move out, you can easily anticipate him arguing he is somehow covered under the Act. In such an argument, in my experience, what was agreed to becomes fuzzy. Dispute resolution officers don't like to get involved in these things because they get complicated quickly, the parties are frequently antagonistic at the dispute stage, and any directive or order is hard to enforce. You picked the wrong guy, obviously, which shows the 'HOH' (as in the reality TV show) should be just as diligent as a landlord in whom he chooses to keep in the game. Call the RTO phone lines and explain your situation in more detail, and I'm positive there is more detail. |
