BC 10 Day Notice Five-Day Window Checklist

1. Use the deemed-receipt rule for your service method.If the tenant actually got the notice sooner, the actual date counts.
2. The last day to pay in full or dispute is 5 days after receipt.Section 46 says 5 days, not 5 business days.
3. The effective date must be at least 10 days after receipt.If it is too early, section 53 moves it to the earliest date that complies.
4. If a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, confirm the date with the RTB before relying on any extra day.
5. Check your payment records.Only full payment of the overdue amount within 5 days cancels the notice. A partial payment does not.
