Rights & LegalAlberta's Residential Tenancies Act says nothing about pets, so the lease sets the rules. But a refundable pet deposit is a security deposit under the Act, and landlords cannot refuse a tenant with a guide or service dog.
Screening & ApplicationsThe Alberta Human Rights Act bars landlords from refusing a tenant, or setting different terms, because of 15 protected grounds. Here is what that covers, the narrow adult-only exceptions, service dogs, and the one-year complaint deadline.
Rights & LegalField by field: how Saskatchewan landlords fill in the Immediate Notice to Vacate and Notice of Arrears (formerly Form 7), work out the arrears, serve every tenant and prove service to the ORT.
Rights & LegalSaskatchewan's residential law is The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, not The Landlord and Tenant Act. Every main rule for landlords on one page: leases, deposits, rent increases, notices, service, possession hearings and the ORT.
Maintenance & RepairsHot water is a vital service under Ontario's Residential Tenancies Act. Here are the temperature rules, who repairs the water heater, and what tenants can do if hot water is not restored.
Maintenance & RepairsCondensation and mould on rental windows split along a simple line in Alberta: the landlord answers for the building, the tenant for how the unit is lived in. Here is what the standards and Alberta Health Services say.
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.

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 & 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
Rights & LegalEvery message to a tenant carries a legal weight — and most landlords can't tell the three tiers apart. Some things must be LTB forms, and no friendly letter can substitute. Some must be written with exact contents the RTA prescribes: the 24-hour entry notice's reason, date, and time; the email-service consent that mak
Rights & LegalMost parties at the LTB appear without a lawyer — the Board is built for it. But it dismisses landlord applications every day on technicalities, not merits: a miscalculated termination date, an arrears figure that doesn't match the ledger, service that can't be proven. This guide covers what self-representation actuall

Not for unpaid rent, not for a damaged unit, not until an eviction is actually enforced. There's a minimum heat standard (and stricter city bylaws), a rule that makes the landl
