The Alberta Law Reform Institute (ALRI) is working on a project to look at the rules for landlords and tenants in Alberta. This includes reviewing a law called the Residential Tenancies Act.
The Residential Tenancies Act explains the basic rights and responsibilities of landlords and tenants. It says what each side must do or not do. It also gives ways to solve problems between landlords and tenants.

This summary document highlights some of the issues raised in ALRI’s first report in its Residential Tenancies Act project. ALRI’s first report does not suggest any changes to the law. It lists issues that arise before a tenancy is created that might need fixing. However, some of the issues may be outside the scope of what ALRI can recommend for change.
