What to do

Use this form to request copies of Rent Board documents or to review files in our office.

The approximate timeline for document duplication is 10 working days. For exceptionally large quantities of documents to be copied, the Rent Board may require that the requesting party hire a professional copy service to duplicate the material at the Rent Board's office. Please understand that it may take longer than usual to process new document filings or to fulfill duplication requests at this time.
