What resources for conflict resolution do landlords and non-profit housing operators have access to in these difficult and unprecedented times? In this webinar we will review how the Residential Tenancy Act applies during the COVID-19 pandemic and what tools housing providers can utilize in resolving conflicts. We’ll also discuss Mediate BC’s Quarantine Conflict Resolution Service – they have created a streamlined referral and intake process to support non-profit housing residents to handle a wide variety of conflicts arising from the impacts of COVID-19. Together, we will learn how to support clients experiencing conflicts, which conflicts can be supports by QCRS and other mediation programs and how to refer clients.
