Leasing across Alberta
Alberta is the only major Canadian province without a rent cap — pricing between tenancies is free-market under the Residential Tenancies Act. Calgary and Edmonton anchor the major-metro inventory with sustained in-migration from Ontario and BC, while Red Deer, Lethbridge, and Airdrie round out the tier-1 service area. Rent growth has consistently led the country since 2023. Calgary's vacancy remains the lowest among Alberta's big two.

Our process
How leasing in Alberta works
Four stages, every placement — from strategic pricing to documented move-in.
- 01
Strategic pricing for the Alberta market
No rent control in Alberta — pricing reflects real-time supply, comparable lease velocity, and the local employment cycle without artificial guidelines.
- 02
Marketing + MLS syndication
Distribution across Realtor.ca, Kijiji, RentFaster, Zumper, Facebook Marketplace, and the regional Alberta broker network with floor-plan and 3D-tour assets.
- 03
Tenant qualification with Alberta compliance
Credit, employment, and reference screening within Alberta Human Rights Act limits. Source-of-income protections are documented and applied uniformly.
- 04
Lease signing on the AB RTA template + move-in
Standard residential tenancy agreement e-signed, security deposit collected to a trust account, and an inspection report completed within one week of move-in.
Frequently Asked
Frequently asked — leasing in Alberta
No. Alberta does not impose a rent-increase cap. However, rent may only be increased once every 12 months and requires 90 days written notice for a periodic (month-to-month) tenancy. Fixed-term leases can only be increased at renewal, not mid-term.
