Laws and Regulations

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
