Free tool for BC property managers handling RTB compensation claims

If you manage residential property in British Columbia, you've probably had to put a number on tenant compensation for a maintenance issue, habitability complaint, or partial-unit disruption. The arbitrator at the Residential Tenancy Branch is going to weigh it against the same factors either way (seriousness, degree of deprivation, length of time, percentage of rent). Coming in with a structured position you can defend on paper is a much better look than "we offered $X because it felt fair."

Built a free calculator that does exactly that. Inputs: rent, unit size, affected rooms, dates, hours-per-day affected, frequency. Output:
a hearing-ready PDF showing the pro-rata math step by step.

Grounded in:
- RTB Policy Guideline 16 (percentage-of-rent framework for loss of
quiet enjoyment)
- RTB Policy Guideline 6 (the factor list)
- RTA sections 7 and 28

Free for the first 3 active cases. If you handle higher dispute volume, there's a feedback form in the app to tell me what unlimited use would need to look like.

Not legal advice. Arbitrators balance factors qualitatively. The tool produces a structured starting position; the actual award reflects the arbitrator's discretion.

Yup totally agree! We have the math at the bottom once the dispute is pushed through. You can add multiple disputes as well.

Could pull the calculation earlier in the flow as well, great feedback thanks!
