→Getting your deposit back
If the landlord wants to keep some or all of your deposit, you must either agree to it in writing, or the landlord must apply for a [[Dispute Resolution for Tenants|dispute resolution]] hearing within 15 days from the day when you moved from your place and gave your forwarding address in writing. If the landlord does not do this, you could make a claim for double the amount of your security deposit. You have two years from when your tenancy ended to make a claim for your deposit at the Residential Tenancy Branch. However, in order to do this, you must provide your landlord with your forwarding address in writing within one year after the end of your tenancy.
