Generally speaking, the RTA does not cover tenancies that are made for a commercial purpose (i.e. Renting a space to open a store). These tenancies would be covered by the Commercial Tenancy Act, RSBC 1996, c 57. Commercial tenancy law is much more complex than residential tenancy law, and individuals who believe they may have a legal issue related to a commercial tenancy are strongly encouraged to seek legal advice relevant to their individual situation.
