- 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?
