Sections 6 and 7 of the Residential Tenancy Regulation list the refundable and non-refundable fees that a landlord can legally charge a tenant.

Late payment of rent: Your landlord can charge a non-refundable fee of up to $25 for late payment of rent, but only if this term has been written into your tenancy agreement.

New, replacement, and additional keys: Your landlord can charge a non-refundable fee for replacing a key that you lost, or for providing an additional key at your request. This fee cannot be more than the direct cost of the key. Your landlord can also charge you a refundable fee if they provide you with any keys in addition to the key that provides your sole means of access to the residential property. Again, this fee cannot be more than the direct cost of the key. At the start of your tenancy, your landlord cannot charge you a fee for rekeying the locks.

Returned cheque: If you do not have enough money in your bank account when your landlord tries to deposit your rent cheque, your bank may charge your landlord a service fee. If this happens, your landlord can require that you pay them back for the cost of the fee. In addition, your landlord can charge you a non-refundable fee of up to $25 for the return of your cheque by a financial institution, but only if this term has been written into your tenancy agreement.

Moving fees: If you request to move to a new rental unit within the same property, your landlord can charge you a non-refundable fee that does not exceed the greater of $15 or 3% of your rent. Also, if you live in a building or complex managed by a strata corporation, you may be required to pay non-refundable move-in and move-out fees.
