Step 1: Repairs: Landlords must maintain the property in good condition and make necessary repairs.
Step 2: Rent Increases: Rent increases must be in line with Rent Pressure Zones and follow legal procedures.
Step 3: Eviction: A landlord cannot evict a tenant without following the legal process, including giving notice and attending a Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) hearing if necessary.
