Statutes and regulations are both laws. There is no difference in their effect. A regulation creates obligations and requirements which must be followed in the same way as if they were set out in a statute.
As a landlord, you need to be aware of:
- The law relating to contracts
- The Alberta Residential Tenancies Act
- Other Alberta laws
- The Residential Tenancies Ministerial Regulations
- The Civil Enforcement Act
- The Civil Enforcement Act Regulations
- Various municipal bylaws
- Privacy laws
- Laws that may have an impact on particular properties
