Nimmons Law Office Calgary: Understanding Rental Increases in Alberta: Rules, Notice Periods, and Tenant Rights
Briefly

In Alberta, landlords can increase rent under specific conditions dictated by the type of lease tenants have—either fixed-term or periodic. For fixed-term leases, rent cannot be increased during the lease unless stated in the agreement. After the lease ends, a landlord may propose a higher rent upon renewal, given they provide proper notice. For periodic tenancies, an increase is permissible but requires the tenancy to be at least 12 months old and proper written notice given. Understanding these regulations is essential for both landlords and tenants to navigate potential disputes and avoid legal issues.
In Alberta, landlords can raise rent under specific conditions, depending on whether tenants have a fixed-term lease or a periodic tenancy.
