The Government of British Columbia is responsible for the ''[[Residential Tenancy Act]]''. If you feel like the law is unfair to tenants you can contact your local MLA (Member of the Legislative Assembly) and voice your concerns. The government needs to hear from tenants in order to strengthen laws protecting tenants. To find your MLA go to [https://www.leg.bc.ca/learn-about-us/members the MLA website] or call Elections BC at 1-800-661-8683. If you write a letter, you can copy it to TRAC by email to [mailto:info@tenants.bc.ca info@tenants.bc.ca].
