The Residential Tenancies Act is divided into how many main parts?

• A. 8 main parts
• B. 10 main parts
• C. 20 main parts
• D. 14 main parts

Answer: (D)

The act is organized to help users find provisions quickly by dividing it into major sections called parts. The Residential Tenancies Act has fourteen main parts, each covering a different area of tenancy law—from definitions and who it applies to, through tenancy rights and responsibilities, deposits and rent, maintenance, entry, termination, and enforcement or dispute resolution. This structure reflects the breadth of topics that tenancy law must address, making it easier for landlords, tenants, and adjudicators to locate the relevant rules.

The other numbers aren’t correct because they don’t match the act’s formal division in its table of contents. Fourteen is the official count, which is why it’s listed as the correct choice. If you want a quick refresher, you can flip through the act’s table of contents to see the fourteen parts outlined.
