About TRAC

TRAC Tenant Resource & Advisory Centre is an educational charity that provides information about residential tenancy law in BC.  We deliver this information through our website, multilingual publications, our Tenant Infoline, as well as providing public legal educational workshops.

Purpose

TRAC provides legal education and information about residential tenancy matters to tenants, community advocates and any other British Columbians who require this knowledge.  We meet with government to promote legal protection for tenants as well as with other interested parties including the media, whom we provide with information in support of efforts to protect and expand the stock of affordable rental housing.

Activities

TRAC provides information through our Tenant Infoline, website, publications, public legal education sessions and advocacy training workshops. We provide input about residential tenancy law into other organizations’ legal publications, telephone scripts and training material, and meet with the provincial government to strengthen legal protections for tenants.  We work with all levels of government, community and landlord groups to identify solutions to the problems of homelessness and unaffordable rental housing and provide information to the media about these problems.
