- 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?
- In the Northwest Territories, where a tenancy is more than week
to week, half a security deposit can be paid when a tenant moves
in and the rest within three months. Is
this rule the same in Alberta?
- In British Columbia, a lease has to be in writing. Does
a lease have to be written in Alberta?
- In Quebec, the law does not require a landlord to carry out
moving in or moving out inspections. Are
they required in Alberta?
- In Ontario, my landlord has to apply to the Ontario Rental Housing
Tribunal if he wanted to raise the rent any higher than the Ontario
Rent Increase Guidelines. Are there similar
limits in Alberta?
- In Newfoundland, rent can only be increased once every year
and not in the first year. What is the
rule in Alberta?
- In Nunavut, the law sets a limit as to what penalty can be charged
for late rent. Is there a limit in Alberta?
- In New Brunswick, a landlord can issue a 20-day notice to vacate
to a tenant for late payment of rent the day after it is due.
If a tenant pays within seven days, the notice has no effect.
Does the same rule apply in Alberta?
- In Manitoba, a landlord must apply to a government agency to
be able to evict a tenant. Must a landlord
do this in Alberta also?
- In Newfoundland, university and college residences are excluded
from the laws about renting a place to live. Is
the law the same in Alberta?
