=== 1. Illegal Application Fees ===
=== 1. Illegal Application Fees ===


A potential landlord cannot ask a renter or potential renter for an application fee. If someone has paid an application fee and the landlord will not give it back, one can apply for dispute resolution to have it returned. Applicants will need to know the landlord’s proper name and address and have proof that the fee was paid: see ''RTA'', s 15. If a landlord does this as a business practice, the tenant should report this to the director of the RTB, who can launch an investigation.
