A Roof Over My Head :

A Guide for Senior Renters in British Columbia

Acknowledgements

We wish to thank Justice Canada, Crime Prevention Initiative for funding this project.
This booklet reflects the knowledge and expertise of senior renters and building managers. Our heartfelt thanks to them for sharing their time and experience to help shape this booklet.

Our sincere appreciation also goes to:

• Seniors Housing Information Program,
• B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association,
• BC Housing,
• Rental Owners and Managers Association of B.C. (ROMA) in Victoria,
• British Columbia Apartment Owners and Managers Association in Vancouver,
• each of our Steering Committee members, and
• all the seniors and community representatives who were part of our Working Groups.

Our thanks to the Tenants Rights Action Coalition (TRAC). They have been publishing the "Tenant Survival Guide" for several years, and it gave us a good starting point for this booklet.

This booklet provides general information. It is not legal advice.

The laws affecting tenants and landlords in British Columbia were changed in late 2002, after the original booklet was published. The information on this site has been updated to reflect many of the changes to British Columbia's tenancy laws.
