Upon the completion of my Bachelor of Commerce Degree from the University of Alberta, I am intent on purchasing several condominium units in downtown Edmonton and renting them on a short-term basis (i.e. by the week or by the month). To do so, I shall incorporate under the name Neat Accommodation (to be known as Neat throughout the remainder of this document). The operations of Neat will be governed under Alberta’s Residential Tenancy Act. This text will explore the operational implications of the act for Neat by making reference to Service Alberta’s Consumer Tips – Information for Landlords document and can be seen as an approximate, expanded equivalent to the legal section of Neat’s forthcoming business plan .
Important Note:
The document referenced includes the following disclaimer: “this publication is intended to provide general information only and is not a substitute for legal advice.” Accordingly, before the commencement of operations, a legal opinion will have to be sought to ensure Neat policies are in compliance with any related provincial legislation – particularly, the Residential Tenancies Act.
“The RTA says a landlord may be… the property manager who acts as an agent for the owner .”
The implication of this statement is that when and if points of Neat’s operation that specifically involve contact with tenants are contracted out to third parties, those third parties will in effect be acting as and for Neat. This creates a concern, as Neat will only employ one employee – Kory Orban – for the first several years of operation. Accordingly, accommodations for sick and vacation days will inevitably have to be made for said-employee and thus, third parties will have to be hired to perform all normal duties (i.e. book...

...d and will have to budget accordingly.
It is important to mention that condo corporation has the unilateral right to evict those tenants whom do not follow building bylaws, cause damage, or threaten other residences. Of course, when required, Neat would cooperate in the condo corporations desire to do this.
Other Relevant Government Acts :
The other most relevant law that applies to Neat’s operations is Minimum Housing and Health Standards of the Public Health Act. Neat is to operate as a premium service provider and therefore, intends to surpass these requirements. However, for the sake of diligence, respect for clients, and for the law, Alberta Health Service’s Rental Housing and Health in Alberta Information Sheet has been included in the Appendix II section of this document. Further, all maintenance and cleaning policies will be made with this act in mind.

The need to reduce these imposts is a key driver for continued improvement in Council processes to streamline the approval of housing related development applications. There is a direct correlation between the cost of housing and the time it takes for Council approval to be obtained for a development. It is the intention of this project to isolate the unnecessary costs and, where possible, remove them from the assessment process.

However, those regulations were rarely enforced and the law failed to provide the satisfactory housing for most families. This led to another series of laws that were passed out in 1879, which required any new tenement to take up no more space than 65% of the 25 by 100 ft. lot on which it was built. This meaning that people could have at least a little bit of a back yard. The living area had to be ventilated with windows, which unfortunately ended up being opened to a small airshaft. Despite the intentions of the new regulations, these buildings improved very little.

In my experience as a real estate sales representative, I have looked at many rental properties that are owned by people that are commonly known as slum lords. These units are in disrepair with leaks, mold, mildew, holes in walls, ceiling and poor floor coverings. Many people are afraid of pushing these issues to have repairs done as they might lose their shelter or their rent could be increased. There are people living in a rooms in a house, that are also at risk as they don’t realize they are not protected under the tenant act so the owners can remove them from their shelter without notice. I have also experienced people living in abandoned commercial buildings ...
