If you and your neighbours have the same problem with the same landlord, the law says you can apply for dispute resolution as a group. For example, if several tenants have a problem with the heating in a building you can all apply for a repair and service order together. Only one hearing will be held. Not everyone in the group will need to attend the hearing. To apply, you and your neighbours need to fill out forms available from the Residential Tenancy Branch. Call the [[Residential Tenancy Branch]] or the [http://www.clicklaw.bc.ca/helpmap/service/1085 Tenant Information Line] for more information. | If you and your neighbours have the same problem with the same landlord, the law says you can apply for dispute resolution as a group.
