===Lockout===
The landlord can’t change the locks because you haven’t paid the rent. If your landlord locks you out, you can call the [[Residential Tenancy Branch]] and ask for an intervention, which is when an information officer calls your landlord to explain when something is illegal. If the intervention does not work you can apply for a [[Dispute Resolution for Tenants|dispute resolution hearing]] and ask for an order that will give you back possession of your place. You can also ask for money back for the time you were locked out.
