A: If you're facing a billing dispute related to your residential tenancy, it's important to address the issue quickly. You might be dealing with overcharges, unexpected fees, or an issue with utilities that you believe are unfair. Gathering all relevant documents, such as lease agreements, bills, and any communication with your landlord, will help in building your case.

Consider reaching out to a lawyer who has experience handling tenant-landlord disputes. They can review your situation, offer advice, and, if necessary, represent you in negotiations or legal proceedings. Clear communication and a proactive approach often lead to better outcomes in these cases.

In the meantime, document everything thoroughly, including dates and details of the dispute. Having an organized record of the issue can strengthen your position and make the process smoother.
