Residential Tenancies - FAQs - Before Filing an Application to Director

What should I do before I file an application?

You should consider:

  • Has the landlord/tenant made every effort to resolve the problem themselves?
  • Are the matters considered to be a landlord/tenant problem?
  • Do you have enough evidence to back up your complaint?
  • If you are seeking payment of money, and if you are awarded money, do you have a reasonable chance of collecting from the person?
  • Can you find and serve papers on the person you are filing against?
