Alberta has no provincial rent increase cap, but rent increases are strictly limited to once every 365 days with 3 full tenancy months' written notice for monthly periodic tenancies. Security deposits cannot exceed 1 month's rent and the prescribed interest rate for 2026 is 0%. Landlords must provide a 10-day statement of account upon vacancy.

No. Alberta does not have a legislated rent increase cap. Landlords may increase rent by any amount, provided at least 365 days have passed since the tenancy began or since the last rent increase, and proper written notice is given (3 full tenancy months for monthly periodic tenancies).
Landlords in Alberta must provide at least 24 hours' written notice stating the date, time, and reason for entry. Entry can only take place between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Emergency entry does not require prior notice.
Landlords must provide an itemized statement of account and remaining deposit balance within 10 days after the tenant vacates. If full repairs or costs cannot be determined within 10 days, an estimated statement must be provided within 10 days, and a final statement with remaining balance delivered within 30 days.
No. Rent cannot be increased during a fixed-term tenancy unless the lease agreement explicitly contains a clause permitting rent increases during the term. However, if a new fixed-term contract is signed upon expiration, new rent terms may be set if 365 days have passed.
UseCOS does not provide legal advice or determine whether the RTA applies to your specific housing agreement (e.g. shared living with landlord, commercial tenancies, mobile home sites). Disputes regarding rent increases, improper entry, or deposit deductions fall under the jurisdiction of the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS).
