Why I’ve Changed My Position

When I first launched this petition, it was to demand reform of the RTB. Like many, I believed the system was broken—but salvageable.

 

Since then, I’ve gone deeper than I ever expected. I’ve filed evidence-backed claims, followed every rule, and even got rulings in my favour—only to discover that fraud, obstruction, and false resets are not exceptions within the RTB. They are the system.

 

I’ve witnessed firsthand:

 

Adjudicators ignoring fraud flagged by BCFSA

 

Staff misfiling requests, coercing withdrawals, and gaslighting tenants

 

A Director who redirects responsibility to outside bodies while dodging her own

 

A process where even clear evidence means nothing if it’s inconvenient to the RTB’s agenda

 

 

This is no longer about tenant vs. landlord. This is about institutional failure and a tribunal that cannot be trusted to enforce the very Act it claims to uphold.

 

That’s why I’ve changed my stance: The RTB must be abolished.

 

We deserve a truly independent body—one that enforces rulings, protects the public interest, and is accountable to no one but the law.
