If the landlord has applied for a higher increase, you have the right to a dispute resolution hearing to present your side of the story to the [[Residential Tenancy Branch]]. For example if you have a repair order and the landlord has not done the repairs, you can present that as evidence. | If the landlord has applied for a higher increase, you have the right to a dispute resolution hearing to present your side of the story to the [[Residential Tenancy Branch]].

== Extra occupants == | |||
You may be charged extra rent if you have additional occupants move in with you after your tenancy begins. The landlord does not have to give you a rent increase notice if your rent goes up because you have additional people move in with you. However, your landlord can only raise your rent based on additional occupants if your written tenancy agreement states how much your rent increases by the number of new occupants. | |||
