The Alberta Law Reform Institute is undertaking a preliminary review of Alberta’s Residential Tenancies Act. The Residential Tenancies Act establishes the rights, rules, and obligations that govern the relationship between a landlord and tenant.

The findings from these events will be used to determine the scope of a potential law reform project. More details about how we select and conduct law reform projects can be found on the About page. |
