One of your most important obligations as a tenant in any country is to pay your full rent on time. Your tenancy agreement should establish the amount of rent, when rent is due, and what forms of payment are accepted. You are still required to pay rent on time even if the day it is due falls on a holiday. You will need to plan ahead if your bank will be closed the day rent is due.

If you have a dispute with your landlord, experience a faulty appliance, a rent increase or have a noisy neighbor, our Mission Community Services Settlement and Integration Department can connect you with valuable resources that outline all the rules related to tenancy in British Columbia.
