I have moved to Alberta from Manitoba where my security deposit
could not be any more than a half of a month’s rent. A landlord
in Alberta told me that here a landlord can ask for up to one month
of rent as a security deposit. Is this correct?
Yes.
In Alberta, the total of any refundable fees that your landlord
asks you for as a security deposit can be up to one month's rent.
If
your rent increases, the landlord cannot ask you to add to your
security deposit.
