Other option is to issue a notice to the Landlord terminating the tenancy for non-sanitary living conditions and request your damage deposit return in full. If he refuses, arm yourself with photographs and file a complaint with RTDA. |
Thank you so much for this. I'll have to make a trip to the Residential Tenancy Office tomorrow, and pick up some legal documents. Much appreciated!
