Mold

Mold is a major problem in many homes in BC given our damp climate. It is important that you check for signs of mold before moving into a place and take every step possible to prevent mold in your home. Finding mold may not be reason enough to break a tenancy agreement and move out of a place early. Furthermore, your landlord may blame you for causing the mold problem. If you do find mold make sure you document it with pictures and with letters to your landlord in case you should need evidence for an dispute resolution hearing at the Residential Tenancy Branch.
