In Alberta, landlords and tenants have two primary ways to resolve disputes: the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTDRS) and the provincial courts. 

The process of ending a tenancy, whether a fixed-term lease or a periodic lease, can be troublesome if the property manager or owner is unaware of the termination rules. Both lease types have specific requirements to meet the qualifications of delivering a proper termination notice. 

Landlords and property managers face various challenges, from water leaks and appliance breakdowns to fire damage. However, the death of a tenant is an uncommon and complex situation that requires a different approach.
