Fictional monetary-order example

Assume a tenant receives a $2,500 RTB monetary order dated August 1, 2026 and the landlord does not pay voluntarily.

The tenant serves the monetary order on the landlord and saves proof of service.
The tenant checks the applicable RTB review period and confirms no review is pending or that any review is refused, dismissed or concluded.
Because $2,500 is within ordinary small-claims scale, the tenant checks current Provincial Court filing instructions and enforcement options before taking collection steps.

Example limitation: This example does not decide service validity, court jurisdiction, review timing, limitation periods, debtor assets, exemptions, garnishment availability or whether collection is worthwhile.

Methodology and assumptions

Jurisdiction: British Columbia Residential Tenancy Branch monetary orders and BC court enforcement planning only.
Readiness logic: The navigator blocks enforcement readiness until service, review-period expiry or review completion, a court filing path, and proof documents are all marked.
Court path prompt: The tool surfaces Provincial Court for monetary orders within small-claims limits and Supreme Court as a separate statutory filing path, but it does not choose a court for the user.
Enforcement options: Collection prompts are grouped around official small-claims guidance: voluntary payment, payment hearing, garnishing, seizure and sale, and record keeping.
Privacy: Checklist selections and entered amounts remain in the browser session and no RTB order is uploaded.

Research method: official-source review, AI-assisted drafting, software implementation, automated regression checks, and a dated publication review. Corrections can be reported through the contact page.
