Alberta's Residential Tenancies Act (RTRA) and the associated Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS) govern rental agreements in the province. The RTRA sets out rules for security deposits, maintenance obligations, notice periods, and dispute resolution. Alberta also requires landlords to provide tenants with a written copy of the lease terms.
Alberta caps security deposits at one month's rent and requires landlords to place deposits in a trust account at an Alberta financial institution. Deposits must be returned within 10 days of lease termination. The province does not have rent control for most tenancies — landlords can increase rent freely with 12 weeks' written notice. However, rent can only be increased once every 12 months. Alberta requires a move-in inspection report signed by both parties.
SignAI generates your Alberta lease with the right provisions — including RTRA-compliant security deposit trust account requirements, move-in inspection report, rent increase notice rules, proper notice periods, and Alberta-specific governing law clauses. Each lease reflects current Alberta law.

FAQ
Yes. A signed lease is enforceable under Alberta's Residential Tenancies Act. The RTDRS provides dispute resolution. SignAI's e-signatures are valid under Alberta's Electronic Transactions Act.
Alberta caps security deposits at one month's rent under the RTRA. The deposit must be placed in a trust account at an Alberta financial institution. Deposits must be returned within 10 days of lease termination with a statement of deductions. This is one of the shortest return timelines in Canada.
Alberta does not have rent control for most tenancies. Landlords can increase rent by any amount, but must provide 12 weeks' written notice and can only increase rent once every 12 months. The landlord cannot increase rent during the first year of a fixed-term lease.
Alberta law requires a move-in condition inspection report that both the landlord and tenant sign. This report documents the unit's condition at the start of tenancy and is critical for resolving deposit disputes at move-out. A similar inspection should be done at move-out.
Alberta landlords must give proper notice based on the reason: 14 days for nonpayment of rent, 14 days for substantial breach, or 90 days to end a periodic tenancy without cause. If the tenant does not vacate, the landlord can apply to the RTDRS or the courts for an eviction order. Self-help evictions are prohibited.
