What BC’s Mandatory RTB-1 Form Leaves Out

BC landlords must use the government’s RTB-1 form — but it’s written for minimum compliance, not landlord protection. Section 17 exists for additional terms, but most landlords leave it blank.

That blank space is where disputes are won or lost.

We regularly review our documents to reflect changes in BC laws and feedback from our community of landlords. When you purchase a lease or addendum, you are getting our most up-to-date version. But we always recommend you review your documents with a lawyer as laws, rules change all the time and we cannot guarantee our documents are always up-to-date in real-time.

For your full protection, we always advise customers to use government issued lease forms whether they are officially mandated or just “highly encouraged”. The RTB-1 is mandatory for most BC residential tenancies. This Addendum works alongside it — your Added Terms (Addendum) go into Section 17. Together they form a complete, landlord-protective tenancy agreement.

Yes — it’s a one-time purchase with no subscription or per-use fee. As long as you use it yourself for YOUR own properties that you own or manage, use it as many times as you like.

You receive both an editable Word (.doc/.docx) file and a PDF version. The Word file lets you customize clauses for each tenancy in minutes. You can make cosmetic changes as you see fit. The PDF is ready to print and sign.

The Addendum was drafted with BC’s RTA in mind. For complex disputes or active RTB proceedings, consult a licensed paralegal or lawyer. For day-to-day landlord protection, it’s written to hold up in practice.

In British Columbia, landlords can include additional terms as long as they don’t conflict with the Residential Tenancies Act. This addendum includes carefully written clauses designed to be enforceable while covering common gaps in the standard lease.

Yes — when properly written and attached to the lease, an addendum becomes part of the agreement. However, any clause must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act to be enforceable at the Residential Tenancies Branch.

Section 17 of RTB-1 is specifically intended for additional terms and conditions. This addendum is designed to plug directly into that section, giving you structured, ready-to-use clauses.

You can reuse this document for all your properties and tenants. Simply edit the file as needed and attach it to each new lease.
