What Happens If Parties Do Not Follow the Ruling of the Rental Housing Tribunal?
A ruling by the Tribunal is like an order of a magistrate’s court and must be enforced in exactly the same way. People can be fined or sent to prison for up to two years if they:
- Fail to attend a hearing without good cause or refuse to be sworn in
- Refuse to produce any document or object in his or her possession
- Try to deceive the tribunal or make false statements
- Go against (contravene) any regulation or refuse to obey an order of the Tribunal
