The Residential Tenancies Board has been given new powers to address improper conduct by landlords under the Residential Tenancies Act.

The RTB can now directly investigate and sanction in cases where there are specific breaches of residential tenancy law in relation to Rent Pressure Zones, false or misleading notices of termination and the non-registration of a tenancy.
