Edit Break Notice For Free

The average BC eviction takes 50 days, meaning the landlord loses about $3,750 in rent (assuming $1,250 average monthly rent). Overall, the total cost of evicting a tenant in BC amounts to $4,750.

A landlord must serve the Two Month Notice to End Tenancy so that it's received: At least two months before the effective date of the notice, and. Before the day that rent is due.

How can I end a lease? If you have a 30-day lease, you can end it by giving the landlord 30 days notice that you are going to move. You should put the notice in writing. Date it and sign it. Be sure to keep a copy of the notice.

If you break the lease early, you may be required to pay the landlord for the remaining months of rent. Even then, if the landlord has to re-rent the property for less than you were paying, the landlord is entitled to that difference for the remainder of your tenancy agreement.

When a tenant allows somebody to move in as a roommate, that new roommate has no rights under the existing lease. And the roommate is not protected by the main law protecting tenants in BC, the Residential Tenancy Act. It's a different story if the new roommate is added to the lease, or everyone signs a new lease.

If the court grants a possession order and tenants still don't leave, landlords must apply for a warrant for eviction ? meaning bailiffs can remove tenants from the property. A possession order won't take effect until tenants have been living in the property for at least six months.

Bailiffs have to give you a notice of eviction with the date and time of your eviction. They have to give you the notice at least 14 days before they evict you. You might be able to ask the court again to delay the date you'll need to leave - for example if you can now repay your arrears or you're going to be homeless.
