REASON FOR THIS 2 MONTH NOTICE TO END TENANCY (check all boxes that apply)
TENANT COMPENSATION FOR LANDLORD'S USE OF PROPERTY
WHEN THE NOTICE IS CONSIDERED TO BE RECEIVED BY THE TENANT
INFORMATION FOR LANDLORDS
INFORMATION FOR BOTH LANDLORDS AND TENANTS
• On or before the effective date of this Notice, the landlord must pay the tenant an amount equal to one month's rent payable under the
tenancy agreement.
• The tenant may withhold the last month's rent instead of being paid compensation.
• Compensation is not owed to tenants who receive this Notice because they do not qualify for the subsidized rental unit.
• If a tenant has already paid the last month's rent, the landlord must refund the rent as the compensation.
• If the landlord does not take steps toward the purpose for which this Notice was given or if the unit is not used for the stated purpose for at
least 6 months beginning within a reasonable period after the effective date of this Notice, the landlord or purchaser must pay the tenant an
additional amount equal to double the monthly rent paid under the tenancy agreement.
• A tenant who receives this Notice can give 10 days' written notice and move out early. The landlord must still pay the tenant one month's
rent as compensation.
• The Notice is received on the day it is given to the tenant in person, or to an adult (19 years or older) who appears to live with the tenant.
• If not personally served with this Notice, a tenant is considered to have received the Notice, unless there is evidence to the contrary, on the
following:
• 3 days after the landlord either leaves the Notice in the mailbox or in mail slot; posts it on the door or a noticeable place at
the address where the tenant lives; or, faxes it to a number provided by the tenant; or,
• 5 days after the landlord sends the Notice by registered or regular mail to the address where the tenant lives.
• You have the right to dispute this Notice within 15 days after you receive it, by filing an Application for Dispute Resolution at the Residential
Tenancy Branch. An arbitrator may extend your time to file an Application, but only if he or she accepts your proof that you had a serious
and compelling reason for not filing the Application on time.
• If you do not file an Application for Dispute Resolution within 15 days, you are presumed to accept that the tenancy is ending and must
move out of the rental unit by the date set out on page 1 of this Notice (you can move out sooner upon giving the landlord ten days written
notice). If you do not file the Application or move out, your landlord can apply for an Order of Possession.
Note: The date a person receives documents is what is used to calculate the time to respond; the deeming provisions do not give you extra time to respond.
• Take steps to confirm that the tenant actually receives this Notice when it is assumed to be received. An arbitrator may set this Notice aside
if the tenant can prove that they did not receive this Notice due to circumstances beyond their control.
• If the tenant fails to move out of the rental unit, or if you believe the tenant does not intend to move out and the tenant's deadline to dispute this
Notice has expired, you can file an Application for Dispute Resolution for an Order of Possession.
• If the tenant applies to dispute this Notice and an arbitrator dismisses the tenant's application or upholds this Notice, the arbitrator must grant an
Order of Possession for the landlord.
• If the tenant disputes the Notice, a hearing will be held. Both parties will have an opportunity to participate.
• Keep copies of all Notices to End Tenancy and record each date and how the Notice was given or received.
• An error in this Notice or an incorrect move-out date on this Notice does not make it invalid. An arbitrator can order that the tenancy ends on a
date other than the date specified in this Notice.
• It is against the law for a landlord to (1) physically evict a tenant without a Writ of Possession, or (2) change the locks without an arbitrator's
order to do so, or (3) seize a tenant's personal property without a court order.

FIXED-TERM TENANCY AGREEMENTS

• A fixed term agreement that does not require the tenant to move out at the end of the term must be ended with proper notice or by mutual
agreement.
• A notice to end tenancy is not required for fixed-term tenancies where a tenant must move out at the end of the term.
