Landlords and tenants
The forms below are available to residents of Wood Buffalo for the use in residential tenancies. It is our sincere hope that with proper forms the foundation to mutually beneficial tenancies can be established. These forms are not provided as a legal resource and do not replace any legal advice. Any alteration to these forms may render them invalid in the province of Alberta. It is important that the person using these forms understands proper service of these documents and knows their rights and responsibilities as outlined in the Residential Tenancies Act.
Support
Housing First landlords, tenants and caseworkers can receive support from a Social Program Advisor. Support includes:
- Understanding landlord and tenant rights and responsibilities under Alberta legislation
- Navigating the Residential Tenancies Act of Alberta
- Mediation through misunderstandings
- Literature and forms
To access landlord and tenant support, please contact Pulse.
