Under serious circumstances you can move with short notice because the landlord has breached a material term in your tenancy agreement. You must first give your landlord written notice of the breach and an opportunity to do something about it. Then if the landlord does not do anything about the problem you can end your tenancy. ''(See section 45(3) and 52 of the [[Residential Tenancy Act|RTA]].)'' Keep in mind that the ''Residential Tenancy Act'' does not define "material term" because a term could be material in one agreement and not another. If you end your agreement because you say the landlord breached a material term, you need to be prepared to convince a Residential Tenancy Branch] dispute resolution officer that as a result of the breach the tenancy could no longer continue. Call the [http://www.tenants.bc.ca/main/?home Tenant Information Line] or the [[Residential Tenancy Branch]] for more information.
