===Getting money back===


Your landlord has to pay you back the cost of the emergency repairs if you followed the process required by the ''[[Residential Tenancy Act]].'' Give the landlord a copy of your receipts and any information you wrote down. Keep the original receipts for yourself. If your landlord doesn’t pay you back, you can deduct the money from your rent. You may want more money from the landlord for other expenses; for example, if your things have been damaged in a flood that was the landlord’s fault. If you and your landlord cannot agree on fair compensation, you can apply for [[Dispute Resolution for Tenants| dispute resolution]] at the [[Residential Tenancy Branch]].
