The City of Surrey has passed a motion to adopt a Standards of Maintenance Bylaw.
Sue Pollard with Acorn says the bylaw will help ensure basic rights like timely repairs for issues like heat, electricity and water, “If you have legitimate repair issues as a tenant, you can go through the Residential Tenancy Branch process, win an Order, but then you still have to get that Order enforced somewhere else.”
Pollard is hopeful the changes will help to solve those problems.
