Disclaimer: The responses and answers appearing in this column are the author’s opinion only. The information is not intended as legal advice and does not constitute legal advice of any kind.

Wm. F. (Rick) Watson provides candid and practical on-line answers to landlord-tenant questions. Rick will give his opinion about how the Residential Tenancy Act of BC appears to apply to your situation – and this is based on his knowledge of the system, his understanding of the law, and his training and experience in judging thousands of residential landlord-tenant cases.

 
 


Rick is a former Member of the Arbitration Review Panel of British Columbia - the administrative tribunal that was responsible for reviewing and examining decisions and orders made by Arbitrators in residential tenancy disputes throughout the province. Rick’s authority extended to hearing appeals of landlord-tenant decisions and disputes, setting aside and/or confirming decisions, ordering new hearings, issuing new orders, etc.

Rick now provides property management services to select metropolitan Vancouver residential condo investors. He is also an entertaining public speaker and makes himself available to groups and organizations, seminars and trade events. Rick can be contacted through landlording@dccnet.com

For your on-line landlord-tenant question to be answered there is an up-front fee of $20. This requires a secure on-line donation through PayPal to the African Preschools Society, a Canadian registered charity (BN85888 0149 RR0001) The society does not take any administration or management fees from your $20 donation - 100% of your donation goes to the work of the society. The Society builds and maintains schools and preschools in impoverished rural African villages. Many of these school children were born with the HIV virus and have been orphaned by AIDS. Due to prevailing poverty these children previously did not have access to books, toys, or schooling. So your donation not only gets you a candid answer to your residential tenancy question, but your money goes toward providing preschool and elementary 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, and then submit the PayPal generated donation confirmation number along with your landlord-tenant question through ask_question_form.

That's it.

When we share we all benefit.
