What to Prepare for a Rental Tribunal

Going to a rental or tenancy tribunal to argue your side of a rental debate can be quite nerve wracking.

Prepare for a Rental Tribunal.jpgSome landlord and tenant disputes simply cannot be resolved without taking it to an authority.

RealRenta Landlords have an advantage when it comes to providing all the information for a hearing, as the platform keeps a comprehensive record of each tenancy, as well date and time stamped proof of each transaction and interaction.

Here’s a RealRenta guide of how to prepare for an appearance at a tribunal:

  • Get your evidence in order (download and print all the records of your tenancy from the RealRenta platform, including any miscellaneous requests from the tenant and photos).
  • Know your desired outcome and how to justify it
  • Consider what the case is against you
  • Practice presenting your case
  • Always remain respectful throughout the proceedings
  • Consider professional assistance if necessary
  • Make sure you have these documents if required: tenancy agreement, statutory declarations, receipts and quotes, photographs, copies of letters, emails and other correspondence and details of your case.
  • Expect to go through mediation first
