For me, it is someone tells me their mortgage is very high.

Recently I looked at a 2-bedroom condo near Richmond RC. The landlord asked me to sign an addendum saying:

Only the people listed on the lease are allowed to live there. If a guest stays more than 7 cumulative days in a year, they would be considered an “additional occupant.” Then, I will be evicted.

If someone stays more than 3 consecutive days, I would need to notify the landlord in writing in advance and even provide documents like ID, work information, etc. for approval. If not, I will be evicted.

*I 100% will not have guest since I don’t like host friends/family in my place. * But it feels extremely strict regarding guests, and it seems like it may conflict with BC RTB rules.

I’m wondering — is this kind of clause normal in BC? Does this sound like a very controlling landlord? Would you still rent a place like this?

Update: actually the landlord is a friend of my sister…she knows me not that well but quite well.🤡 I felt like ‘girl if you trust me then why do that??’

In 2024, I successfully filed an Application for Registration of Judgment with LTSA by requesting a Registrar’s exception to submit in hardcopy form, since I am not a lawyer or notary and could not e-file directly.

Now in 2026, I need to register another lien/judgment against someone’s property again, but I’m being told that only lawyers, notaries, or registry agents can file electronically, and hardcopy filing may not be accepted.

Has anyone dealt with this recently?

Were you still able to get a Registrar’s exception for hardcopy filing, or is using a lawyer/notary now basically the only realistic option?

I’m in BC (Vancouver). Just trying to understand whether the process has changed or if I was just lucky in 2024.
