Ontario vs BC landlord laws explained: rent rules, deposits, tenants, roommates, and eviction processes.

The two provinces have completely different laws, different forms, and different dispute bodies. Assume otherwise and it’ll cost you. Here are five things I wish every cross-border landlord knew before signing their next lease.
