Rights & LegalWhat Alberta landlords can and cannot do when a tenant stays after the tenancy ends: the order for recovery of possession, civil enforcement, compensation and conditional orders.
Rights & LegalAlberta tenants need written consent to sublet or assign, but a landlord can refuse only on reasonable grounds, cannot charge a fee, and is deemed to agree after 14 days of silence.
Rights & LegalIn Alberta, landlords and tenants can take most tenancy disputes to the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS) or to court, and the first filing binds both sides. Here is how the two compare on cost, limits, remedies and appeals.
Rights & LegalA step-by-step walkthrough of a BC Residential Tenancy Branch hearing for landlords and tenants: what to prepare, who speaks first, conduct on the call, and what happens after the decision.
Rights & LegalYes — and almost everything attached to that yes is where landlords get into trouble and tenants overpay. First month's rent is just rent; last month's is Ontario's only legal deposit, capped at one rental period, earning interest every year at that year's guideline rate. Damage, security, cleaning, and pet deposits ar
Rights & LegalOntario's biggest tenancy-law overhaul in a generation arrived in two waves. On July 1, 2026, the quiet procedural wave took effect: review deadlines cut to 15 days, the LTB's Payment Agreement Form mandatory for repayment plans, directed service of above-guideline increase orders tightened to 7 days, tenants' new righ
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 & LegalNot every tenancy has to end at the Landlord and Tenant Board. Ontario law gives landlords and tenants several legal ways to part company without an eviction hearing — the N11 mutual agreement and cash-for-keys deal, the tenant's own N9 notice, assignment, and negotiated moves — each faster than the queue when done rig
Rights & LegalEvery LTB journey follows the same road: a notice, an application on the Tribunals Ontario Portal, a queue, a fork at mediation, a hearing, an order — and sometimes the Sheriff. This pillar guide maps the entire process end to end for landlords, tenants, and property managers: which notice starts which application, wha
Rights & LegalAn LTB eviction order is not possession — only the Sheriff can enforce it, and the Sheriff has a queue of their own. This guide covers the whole after-the-order world for landlords and tenants: the filing package and the six-month deadline, the fees and the regional wait, the Notice to Vacate, what actually happens on
Rights & LegalIn Ontario, a lease that ends doesn't end anything — it converts. So "renewal" is really a strategy question: stay month-to-month or sign a new fixed term? The answer is different for landlords (retention economics, flexibility), tenants (no-fault eviction protection, leverage you didn't know you had), and property man
Rights & LegalOntario's right of first refusal used to fail at the follow-through: tenants left, renovations dragged, and nobody wrote. The new rules change the physics — missed updates or a skipped 60-day window are now deemed a denial of the right itself. Here's the complete lifecycle: the letter before you leave, the notices the
Rights & LegalOntario's renoviction rules now run on paperwork: a qualified professional's report, building permits, written timeline estimates, update obligations, a completion notice, and a 60-day window for the tenant to come back. Here's the full document trail — what landlords must produce, what tenants can demand, and where mu
Rights & LegalWhen a landlord won't fix a serious problem, tenants have a route many don't know about: the municipal property standards officer. These bylaw inspectors can order repairs, set deadlines, and even bill the landlord for work the city does itself — and their orders are powerful evidence at the Landlord and Tenant Board.
Rights & LegalYou moved out because your landlord "needed the unit" — then it went back on the market at a higher rent. That's a bad-faith eviction, and the T5 is how you fight back. This complete guide covers what counts as bad faith, the deadlines that split by reason (one year for an N12, up to two for an N13 renovation), the evi
Rights & LegalWhen a landlord enters without notice, harasses, changes the locks, or shuts off a vital service, the T2 is how an Ontario tenant fights back. This guide covers exactly what the T2 covers, the strict one-year deadline, the remedies you can ask for — rent abatement, compensation, an order to stop — and the mistakes that
Rights & LegalThe N13 is the notice an Ontario landlord uses to end a tenancy to demolish, convert, or do major repairs that need the unit empty. This guide walks through the three grounds, the 120-day notice rules, the compensation and right-to-return, and exactly how the process works — for both landlords serving one and tenants w
Rights & Legal"Renoviction" is when a landlord uses renovations to end a tenancy — sometimes legitimately, sometimes not. This complete guide explains how the N13 process actually works, the compensation and right-to-return rules, the new licensing crackdown under Bill 60/97, and how both landlords and tenants can stay on the right
Rights & LegalThe N9 is the form Ontario tenants use to end their own tenancy — and getting the notice period and termination date right is what makes it valid. Here's how much notice you need to give, how to calculate the correct end date, and the mistakes that leave you on the hook for another month's rent.
Rights & LegalThe N5 is Ontario's most-used notice for tenancy issues that aren't about money — interference, damage, or overcrowding. This 2026 guide explains the unique two-N5 rule, what tenants can do to void the notice, and what landlords must document to make an N5 stand up at the LTB.
