Free, Alberta-compliant lease templates for landlords and tenants. Download, customize, and use — no sign-up required.

All templates follow the Residential Tenancies Act (Alberta)

Why Alberta leases are different

Unlike Ontario and British Columbia — which provide government-mandated standard lease forms — Alberta has no required standard form. Landlords are free to draft their own rental agreements. This flexibility can be valuable, but it also means landlords must ensure their leases comply with the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) on their own.

These templates are designed to give Alberta landlords a compliant, professional starting point. They cover the most common tenancy types and scenarios. Each can be customized to fit your property.
