Why Alberta Landlords Need a Custom Lease

Unlike Ontario or BC, Alberta doesn’t require landlords to use a government lease form. That freedom is an advantage — but only if you use it properly. A generic or downloaded template may not reflect Alberta’s specific RTA rules, leaving you exposed when a dispute reaches the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS).

We regularly review our documents to reflect changes in Alberta’s laws and feedback from our community of landlords. When you purchase a lease, you are getting our most up-to-date version. But we always recommend you review your documents with a lawyer as laws, rules change all the time and we cannot guarantee our documents are always up-to-date in real-time.
For your full protection, we always advise customers to use government issued lease forms whether they are officially mandated or just “highly encouraged”. However, at the time of this writing, Alberta does NOT require a government-issued lease. This lease is a complete standalone document — nothing else required.
Yes — it’s a one-time purchase with no subscription or per-use fee. As long as you use it yourself for YOUR own properties that you own or manage, use it as many times as you like.
You receive both an editable Word (.doc/.docx) file and a PDF version. The Word file lets you customize clauses for each tenancy in minutes. You can make cosmetic changes as you see fit. The PDF is ready to print and sign.
The lease was drafted with Alberta’s RTA in mind. For complex disputes or active RTDRS proceedings, consult a licensed paralegal or lawyer. For day-to-day landlord protection, it’s written to hold up in practice.
In Alberta, you can draft your own lease or use any form or template for a Lease – however, it still MUST not conflict with the Residential Tenancies Act. This is why generic templates, US companies boasting Canadian leases, or other inadequate options are dangerous. Our Smart Landlord Lease is drafted to comply with Alberta law and address the hot-button issues that Alberta landlords face.
Yes — when properly written, our Smart Landlord Lease (for Alberta) acts as a legal document between Landlord and Tenant. Just remember any additional or added clauses must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act to be enforceable at the hearings.
Yes. The lease is fully, 100% adaptable and customizable for any change including term changes. Simply edit the term period to reflect a month-to-month tenancy. Whenever making any changes (and even using our Lease right out of the box) we always encourage you to get it reviewed by a lawyer and/or paralegal to ensure compliance.
You can reuse this document for all your properties and tenants. Simply edit the file as needed and attach it to each new lease.
