- I
am moving to Alberta and am going to rent a place to live. I am
a bit concerned about how much rent I will have to pay. Does
Alberta have any rent control laws?
- My
landlady has served me with a notice that my rent is going to
increase. I really cannot afford the extra
money. Is there anything I can do?
- I
signed a lease for a year, but after three months I am having
trouble making the rent payments. What
options do I have?
- My
lease says that "if, for any reason, the Tenant shall terminate
the Fixed-Term Lease, the remaining terms of the lease shall remain
in full force and effect. The Tenant will be responsible to the
end of the lease term or until the unit is re-rented." I
lost my job and can no longer pay the rent. What can I do?
- I
rent an apartment on a monthly basis. About four months ago, my
landlord gave me a letter saying the rent was going to go up by
$200 a month. I meant to tell him that I could not afford this,
but I forgot. I did not pay the increase this month. Now I have
received a "Notice of Termination for Substantial Breach"
from my landlord. It says if I don't pay
the increase in rent in 14 days, I have to leave. Is this right?
- I use maintenance
money to pay my rent. My ex-spouse is not always on time with
payments. Will I be able to pay my rent
late?
- I
have heard that there is a “Rent Bank”
that helps people who cannot pay their rent. How can I find out
more?
- I have been
having a disagreement with my landlord about the amount of rent
that I owe him. Yesterday, after I went to work, my landlord came
into my place and changed the locks. Can
he do this?
- My apartment
has flooded and the damage is going to take about two months to
repair. Do I have to keep paying my landlord
rent while the repairs are taking place?
- I am very
frustrated about outstanding repairs in my apartment. I have called
and written my landlord, but he has ignored me. If
I stop paying rent, could my landlord evict me?
