→Essential services and facilities
If you have a problem with an essential service or facility, ask your landlord in writing to correct the situation. If that does not work, apply for dispute resolution for an order requiring your landlord to restore the essential service or facility. You can also apply for monetary compensation from your landlord for ignoring your request, as well as a rent reduction until the service or facility has been restored.
Alternatively, if the issue meets the ''RTA definition'' definition of “emergency repair” – for example, the primary heating system breaks during the winter – you can consider following the emergency repair procedures described in [http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/00_02078_01#section33 section 33] of the ''RTA''.
