Costs depend on the time and resources required to gain access to the property and remove the tenants plus their belongings.

Evicting a single tenant with a few personal belongings residing in a small one bedroom basement will be much lower compared to evicting multiple tenants with pets, residing in a fully furnished two story, four bedroom home with a garage packed full of belongings.

Each circumstance varies so we only ask for a nominal deposit to schedule the eviction. After gaining access to the property and assessing the situation, we will be in a better position to let you know if additional payment is required.

The Court Bailiff will attend the property, inform the occupants they must vacate based on the Writ of Possession, supervise their departure, and formally return possession to the landlord or their agent.

A Court Bailiff is not permitted to collect unpaid rent during the eviction. Instead, landlords are required to apply for a Monetary Order from the Residential Tenancy Branch. Once granted, the Monetary Order must be served on the tenant. If the debt remains unpaid, a landlord may apply to a Small Claims Court for enforcement of the Monetary Order.

An Order for Seizure and Sale is enforced by the Court Bailiff and empowers them to collect money from the debtor (tenant in this context) and/or seize assets.

Landlords are not permitted to be present and around the property during the eviction. Evictions can become dangerous scenes. While we recognize the personal connection landlords have with their property, it is best to allow the Court Bailiffs to perform their duties without having to worry about violence between landlords and tenants.

A Writ of Possession is valid for one year from the date it was issued by the Court. It does not need to be enforced immediately—landlords can schedule the eviction at their convenience within this timeframe. However, it is recommended to enforce the Writ of Possession as soon as possible to avoid any potential complications.

No. Landlords must hire a Court Bailiff to carry out the eviction legally. Self-help evictions, including changing locks without proper legal process, are illegal in British Columbia and can result in significant penalties.

Anyone in the unit at the time of the eviction will be removed, including:

• Parties named in the Writ of Possession
• Guests present at the time
• All unauthorized Occupants

No. All moving and storage must be handled by an authorized moving and storage company, arranged and supervised by Integrated Civil Enforcement. Court Bailiffs do not handle tenant goods directly, and movers are present at every eviction regardless of the amount of belongings.

No. Do not notify the tenant in advance, as this puts the Court Bailiff at risk, and can sometimes lead to property damage and safety concerns.

No. Landlords only need to serve the tenant with the Order of Possession obtained from the Residential Tenancy Branch. The Writ of Possession document is presented on the day of attendance, it is not served in advance.
