Residential Tenancy Authorities Directory

The residential tenancy authority for every province and territory — each linked to its official page.

13 verified listings · last refreshed 2026-11-14

Residential tenancy rules are provincial and territorial: the board, the forms, and the process run differently in each jurisdiction. This directory lists the official page for each one, so you can start from the authority that governs you.

This is a listing only — no eligibility, waiting-period, or amount claims live here; those live in the tenancy guides. Entries are re-checked on the Second Pass volatile schedule.
