We applied for an assignment due to ongoing issues with our rental unit. We are also being heard at the Rental Tribunal as part of the issues in the home. The other day the owner put the house up for sale. That is obviously going to make assigning the home that much more difficult for us......any direction on how we should proceed with this?

24 hours

In Alberta you can be evicted with a 14 day notice for most breaches although there is also a 24 hour notice if there is severe damage or threats to the landlords or other tenants. You an find more information about Alberta Evictions at http://www.albertaeviction.com

Alberta - i have a one year lease expiring in august. there have been issues with my landlord and the basement tenant( the basement suite is illegal) and paying their share of utilities. we have been bickering back and forth for two months with no result. we finally told our landlord if he did nto watn to reimburse us for our 300 in bill money, that we would report the downstairs basement suite to teh city of calgary, who would do an inspection and shut it down. my landlord replied via email if we phoned the city of calgary then he would shut down both units (ours is legal) and sell the house, forcing us to move. which we dont have a problem with but i dont want him forcing us out in a short amount of time, or keeping my cheques for rent i gave him. please, no stupid answers like "just move out" or "nothing you can do" i need to know if this is legal can he do this or are we protected by our lease? there are no terms in the lease except that termination by the landlord needs 3 months notice.

you arent protected by the lease if he sells your out legally

I am renting out a room in my house and i made a deal with a person to move into that room. i was nice enough to let them move some of her stuff in early(in agreement with my current renter). well, when the time came for her to sign the lease and commit (once i had my written 1 month notice from my current tennant) she told me she wasn't going to take the place afterall. i called her on her home and cell phone for days trying to get ahold of her. finally i left a message on each telling her she had 30 days to come get her things before i get rid of them. i live in alberta, canada am i legally allowed to throw out or sell her things after 30 days? or what time frame do i need to wait. ps: this doesn't fall under the landlord tennancy act because she never rented from me.

You should write out a letter and mail it to her last known address even if that is your address. specify a date that she needs to at least pick up her stuff by otherwise you will dispose of it. Protect yourself and keep copies when the letter goes unanswered the post office will return it to you keep it sealed and hold onto it for at least a year just in case she comes back later and tries to sue you. Also make sure you take pictures of her stuff.
