GeneralAlberta's RTDRS is an alternative to court for tenancy disputes. What it can and cannot decide, the 2026 fees, how to apply and serve, the phone hearing, and the deadlines after an order.
GeneralAlberta notice periods depend on the tenancy type and who is ending it. A tenant gives one tenancy month; a landlord needs three months and a prescribed reason, or 365 days for major renovations.
GeneralAlberta caps all deposits at one month's rent, requires a trust account within 2 banking days, and gives landlords 10 days to return the deposit. No inspection report means no damage deductions.
News & Policy UpdatesEDMONTON and CALGARY, Oct. 24, 2026: Alberta's City Land Use Bylaw Direction Regulation (A.R. 255/2026) orders both cities to rewrite infill zoning. What it says about suites, parking and timing.
GeneralAlberta has no cap on rent increases, but the notice, the 365-day rule and the fixed-term limits are strict. A notice that misses them is void.
GeneralEvery core rule for Alberta landlords on one page: leases, the one-month deposit cap, inspection reports, rent increases, entry, repairs, notices, the RTDRS and deposit returns.
Rental Pricing & ROIFree rental listing sites are genuinely good now — the question is which ones earn a spot in your posting routine, because "free" varies: some sites are free forever, some are free tiers with paid upsells, and some are free in one city and paid in another. Here's the honest ranking for Canadian landlords: the sites wor
Tools & EvaluationsThis is the last comparison in our series, and it's about a kinship: both of these tools care about single-family rentals — the scattered houses, duplexes, and townhomes that make up most Canadian landlords' portfolios. Propertyware has spent almost twenty years serving that segment at company scale: it's built, in its
Tools & EvaluationsYardi Breeze is the friendliest door into one of the oldest names in property software — per-unit pricing, no onboarding fees, and a product line that runs from Breeze through Premier to Voyager, the enterprise platform that costs more per year than most small portfolios gross. That's the honest frame for this comparis
Tools & EvaluationsHere's a comparison between twins of a different kind: both of these tools give a 1-to-3-unit landlord a genuinely free plan — not a trial, a product. Landlord Studio pairs its free tier with the deepest DIY bookkeeping stack at this end of the market: live bank feeds, receipt scanning, smart rules that sort your trans
Tools & EvaluationsHere's the strangest comparison in our series: these two tools chose almost the same shape. Rentec Direct's entry plans run $45–$55 USD a month covering up to 25 units; Tenon10's Pro runs $49 CAD for the same twenty-five. Both price flat. Both publish their numbers. Neither requires a contract. Both get praised by revi
Tools & EvaluationsThis is the closest price matchup in our comparison series: TenantCloud's entry plan runs $15–$17 USD a month, unlimited units on every tier, with a genuinely devoted small-landlord following — and Tenon10's Essentials runs $9.99 CAD for up to ten. No sales floors, no enterprise minimums, no assembled-bill shock: two s
Tools & EvaluationsFor the first time in this series, the comparison isn't decided before it starts. liv.rent is Canadian — Vancouver-built, CAD-priced, genuinely liked — so the two arguments that carried our Buildium, AppFolio, and DoorLoop pages simply don't apply. What's left is a better question than "which is cheaper in whose curren
Tools & EvaluationsThis is the first comparison in our series without an easy answer built in. DoorLoop names Canada in its own positioning, starts at a price a small landlord can say out loud, offers a real free trial, and earns reviews in the 4.5-to-5-star range. So this page does the two jobs a genuine comparison requires: it assemble
Tools & EvaluationsHere's the shortest honest comparison on the internet: AppFolio doesn't sell to portfolios under 50 units — so if you're a Canadian landlord with a duplex, a fourplex, or anything under two dozen doors, one of these platforms won't take you as a customer, and the other was built for you. This page covers the rest prope
Tools & EvaluationsBuildium is excellent software — for a US property management company running 50 to 1,000 doors. If that's you, close this tab and go demo it. But if you're a Canadian landlord with a basement suite, a triplex, or a growing portfolio under 25 units, you'd be paying US-company prices in US dollars for US workflows — and
Rights & LegalEvery property management relationship is decided twice — once in the service agreement, and once in the thirty days after it's signed. Onboarding a new owner client is where the custody inventory arrives, the lease files get audited, the deposits get reconciled, the tenants get one calm letter, and the working rhythm
Rights & LegalEvery property management relationship runs on one document most people read twice: once before signing, once during a dispute. The service agreement decides who speaks for the owner, what the manager may spend without asking, what the fee schedule actually contains, how many days' notice ends the relationship — and wh
Finances & BudgetingEvery property management fee conversation in Canada starts from the same two numbers — 6 to 12 percent of rent collected, with the national average near 8 to 10 — and almost every expensive mistake happens after that sentence ends. The headline percentage isn't the price: leasing fees, renewals, inspections, and maint
Rights & LegalEvery rental file is a privacy file: applications, credit checks, IDs, camera footage, smart-entry logs. Under PIPEDA, landlords and property managers are data custodians with real obligations — consent, purpose limits, safeguards, 30-day access requests, and mandatory breach reporting with fines up to $100,000. Here's
Maintenance & RepairsGrowing from one owner-client to twenty changes the job: every dollar needs its own ledger, every owner needs a promised reporting cadence, and one negative owner balance can put your whole trust account offside. This guide covers per-owner accounting done properly, statements owners actually trust, co-owned properties
Platform & ProductLandlording is a mobile job that most software treats as a desk job — showings, move-in photos, the furnace invoice in your hand, the e-Transfer that arrives while you're in line for coffee. Tenon10's iOS and Android apps are officially coming soon, and this guide is honest about exactly that: what the platform publicl
Platform & ProductEvery property platform now claims an AI. The honest questions are: what can it actually see, what can it actually do, and what happens when it's wrong? This deep-dive walks through Keya, Tenon10's AI copilot, the way a landlord meets it — plain-English answers drawn from your own ledger ("What's my collection rate thi
Platform & ProductMost landlords don't have an accounting problem in April — they have a records problem all year that becomes visible in April. This deep-dive walks through Tenon10's accounting module the way a landlord actually meets it: the ledger that builds itself as rent comes in (card, bank, e-Transfer, even cash — one ledger), t
