BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA) is issuing a consumer alert regarding alleged unlicensed activities by real estate licensee Matthew Kuras and MetroVan Realty (dba MetroVan Realty Property Management).

BCFSA has received recent complaints from property owners in the Lower Mainland alleging that Kuras is making demands for payments of additional fees and is withholding rent payments. Kuras is not authorized to provide real estate services and BCFSA advises against making any payments to him.

Tenants are advised to work directly with their landlord property owners, and to contact BCFSA if they have information about Kuras’ activities. Any landlord clients who have engaged Kuras’ services are also advised to contact BCFSA directly.
