Introducing our law firm

We do Tenancy Law.
Period.

Our Firm

Tenancies can be stressful, regardless if you are a tenant, landlord, or even a roommate. Unfortunately only a few law firms focus primarily on tenancy and housing law.

At Bright Law, we understand the intricacies of landlord-tenant relationships and have extensive experience helping landlords and tenants solve their disputes. We also understand that some disputes cannot be resolved, which is why we are equipped with the expertise to advance claims before the Residential Tenancy Branch (RTB), to assist in judicially reviewing RTB decisions, and to help with any subsequent collections proceedings.

Our firm routinely appears before the BC Residential Tenancy Branch, the Provincial Court and the Supreme Court of British Columbia for tenancy disputes.

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.
