British Columbia landlord questions
What's the BC rent increase cap for 2026?
The BC government sets the cap each September for the following calendar year. The 2025 cap is 3.0%. Central Rentals pulls the live figure from the RTB feed so your notice is always within the legal limit.
Do I need to use RTB forms?
Yes. BC's Residential Tenancy Act requires landlords to use the RTB's official forms for notices to end tenancy, rent increases, and dispute resolution applications. Custom forms are void.
How long does an RTB hearing take?
Direct Request (unpaid rent) decisions are usually issued in 2–4 weeks. Participatory hearings (most other disputes) currently take 3–5 months.
