Each Band has jurisdiction to create and administer its own housing bylaws. Bylaws can lay out the terms of rental agreements, including the rights and responsibilities of the Tenants and of the Landlord (the Band). Housing policies often cover the responsibilities for repairs or damages, the process for evictions and the Tenant’s procedures to dispute a Band housing decision. If you have an issue with your rental, you can get a copy of the Housing policies from the Band Office and talk to the Housing Manager. If that does not resolve your issue, follow your Band’s dispute processes: for example, you could speak with the Band Manager, Housing Committee and then Chief and Council. For problems you still cannot resolve, call a legal advocate or lawyer. | Each Band has jurisdiction to create and administer its own housing bylaws.
