Replaced by: RTA handbook for landlords & tenants : Residential Tenancies Act & regulations [2016]

Description

This Handbook is designed to explain the rights and responsibilities of all tenants, landlords, and agents involved in renting residential premises in Alberta under the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) and regulations. It explains the minimum legislated requirements set out in the RTA, provides landlords and tenants with options to deal with matters not established as minimum requirements, and makes residential tenancy resource material available in a user-friendly format. As a handbook on residential tenancy matters, this does not set out everything in the RTA, nor does it state the law. Landlords and tenants should refer to the RTA to determine their legislative rights and obligations.
