 At the hearing with a '''dispute resolution officer''', the landlord will have to give evidence of why he or she wants to evict you. You will then be given the chance to say why you shouldn't be evicted. The dispute resolution officer will make a decision about whether or not you can stay in your place.
-If you don't like the decision, you can apply to review it by completing an '''[http://www.rto.gov.bc.ca/documents/RTB-2.pdf application for review consideration]''' and paying a $25 filing fee. However, there will only be a review if you missed the original hearing, you have new evidence that was not available at the time of the original hearing, or the decision was obtained by fraud. Otherwise, only a Supreme Court judge can change a dispute resolution officer's decision. You will need advice from a lawyer to do this.
