Introducing our law firm

We do Tenancy Law.
Period.

Our Firm

Bright Law is one of the few law firms in British Columbia devoted exclusively to residential and commercial tenancy law. Our practice is deliberately narrow — and that focus is our advantage.

We act for landlords, tenants, and property managers at every stage of a tenancy dispute, from notice drafting through RTB hearings, judicial review, and enforcement. Our team appears regularly before the BC Residential Tenancy Branch, the Provincial Court, and the BC Supreme Court.

When the matter is serious enough to require legal counsel, experience in this specific area of law makes a meaningful difference.

Landlords

Landlords come in all shapes and sizes, and our firm has the expertise to assist large commercial landlords managing multi-unit housing complexes to individual landlords renting out their investment property.

Tenants

Being a tenant can be difficult, which is why we assist our clients with all aspects of their tenancies, from helping you understand your rights under the Residential Tenancy Act, to representing you before the Residential Tenancy Branch and beyond.

Judicial Reviews

Some Residential Tenancy Branch decisions are unfair, others are outright unreasonable. We have experience to help you judicial review those decisions to get a fair resolution to your tenancy dispute.

Collections & Enforcement

Winning an RTB dispute (or any dispute for that matter) is often only the beginning of a case; enforcing your order may sometimes be even more difficult. We have the skill to not only achieve a positive outcome for your case, but to realize that outcome in the most cost-effective way possible.

Updates to the One Month Notice to End Tenancy (RTB-33)

A recent update to the Residential Tenancy Branch’s One Month Notice to End Tenancy for Cause form has introduced some subtle but meaningful changes. On its face, the form will look familiar. The overall structure remains the same, and many of the listed reasons for ending a tenancy have not fundamentally changed.
