Lease Renewals
[ Emergencies and Repairs | Regular Repairs | Handling Complaints | Rent Increases | Lease Renewals ]
It is common to have a fixed lease term at the beginning of the tenancy. But what happens when the initial rental period - often a year - expires? The answer to this question depends on which province or territory of the rental.
For example, in Alberta the lease term may be changed from year-to-year to month-to-month after one year's term is complete. This means that after the initial year, the tenancy is now renewed on a monthly basis. The tenant is still protected from eviction under the landlord tenant legislation of the province and the new month-to-month term offers more flexibility for ending the tenancy. In Alberta, with a month-to-month tenancy the tenant must give 1 month's written notice to the landlord in order to end the tenancy. If your cheque is accepted by a landlord, make sure you get a receipt with the address of the apartment, the landlord's name and the name and phone number of the person who accepted your cheque.
