I would double check but I read that as long as Alberta has declared a heath state of emergency the rent freeze is on.
I know most provinces have this right now . Here in B.C the rent increase freeze is till june and possibly longer depending on covid situation. Ontario has one , Quebec etc all have one
Just browsing the tenancy act for Alberta. What a joke. Alberta dosen't even have a law to limit the rent increases per year (unless you have a year long lease) or a limit to increases at all. You could pay 1300 one year and they can jack it up to literally anything. We have limits every year no matter the type of lease. I've been in the same place for 6 years and on the 5th year we rolled it over to month to month. According to Alberta a land lord in that structure can increase the rent every 3 months .. insane.
Based on how I interpret the Alberta tenecy act. Yes, they do have the right to increase it every 365 days with no limits on a fixed term with little to no notice or No, if the rent increase freeze is still in effect. It's surprisingly hard to find current info on Alberta tenancy laws. Your best bet is phoning RTDRS
