Enforcement of the Act

The contravention of certain sections of the Residential Tenancies Act and certain actions described in the Act are offences. Upon summary conviction, offenders are liable to a fine. Few choose to ignore the law when informed but occasionally the Rental Officer is required to investigate allegations of contraventions which could lead to charges being laid.
