Check the RTB web site: http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/residential-tenancies/forms for current forms and fees. Ensure clients are using the most recent forms. Be aware that some applications require fees (a standard Application for dispute resolution costs $50). Waivers are available for low-income applicants.

The dispute resolution policy guidelines are also available online, as are decisions by Arbitrators. These are useful for preparing for a hearing, but they are NOT binding on Arbitrators.
