🎧 Tenant Evictions | Roommate Agreement Alberta | Real Estate Investing Canada
Real Estate Investing Morning Show – Hosted by Wayne & Gabby Hillier

In today’s episode, Wayne and Gabby dive into two essential landlord topics that are often misunderstood: tenant evictions and roommate agreements in Alberta.

They explore what really happens when a tenant stops paying rent, especially near the end of a lease, and why “friendly” roommate setups can go sideways fast without proper documentation. Whether you're dealing with a professional tenant or renting out a room in your own home, the rules — and the risks — are very different.

Wayne also shares how the Innkeepers Act may apply in room-rental situations where the owner lives on-site, giving landlords more immediate control than the Residential Tenancies Act typically allows.

🧠 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

What to do when a tenant suddenly “can’t pay” near lease-end

The difference between a roommate agreement and a residential lease

Why roommate disputes aren’t covered under Alberta’s RTA

How the Innkeepers Act can allow for immediate eviction in room-rental scenarios

How to protect yourself when renting out part of your home

Why some landlord issues should never be handled emotionally
