So My Landlord served notice

I'd imagine there's someone at your university that can help you with this better than we can. When I was in school, there was some school official whose job it was to make sure students knew their rights with regards to renting apartments and who you could go talk to and get advice. I suggest you find that person at your school.

This is the only reply that matters. Follow this advice and you will know exactly where you stand.

If people would just mention things like this sooner, I could save myself a whole bunch of reading.

By-Tor, if you wouldn't quote entire posts to bold half a sentence, I wouldn't have to scroll through so many posts to read the ones that mean anything. Thanks for your input though, everything besides the quote was stellar. *cough*

Should be local to you, residential tenancy resolution services. They'll help. Tenants generally > landlords where rights are concerned in Canada.

She wants me out early because she will have trouble renting the apartment the closer to winter it is from what I've been told.

She wants you out because she isn't making enough off you or wants to sell. The market in Alberta is [censored] hot. What she is doing is not legal though - she must provide at least 14 days notice for a substantial breach of the Residencial Tenancies Act.

[ QUOTE ]
The obligations of a tenant as required by the Residential Tenancies Act are109
• not to interfere in a significant way with the rights of the landlord or other tenants in or around
• not to carry on an illegal business or do anything that is illegal in or near the premises;
• not to do anything in or near the premises that would put anyone in danger;
• not to do significant damage in or near the premises or allow anyone else to;
• to keep the premises in a reasonable, clean condition;
• to leave the premises at the end of the rental term or the termination of the tenancy.

Since you haven't done any of those she has to give you at least a month's notice, and since you already started October (assuming you are on a monthly rental period starting on the 1st), I don't think you'll have to move out until November 30. I could be wrong about this last point though.

Even if your noise was a substantial breach of the RTA, staying on after your eviction date means she will have to take legal notice and in the meantime you can stay there. Get ready for a legal battle though.

Also, the fact that she called your parents is really lame. I recommend that you do indeed stick it to her as hard as you can.

I got all this info at http://www.acjnet.org/docs/landten/. It should help you with any further questions.

If worse comes to worse, leave the place a [censored] mess.

If possible, start looking for a new place to move into on Nov 1st.

Who the hell would want to rent from that skank for another month? She'll probably call the cops the next time you want to have a party.

yeah Nov 1 would be ok, oct 17 is [censored] though. I dunno, she's really pissed me off. I'm willing to go out of my way to make this a huge pain in the ass for her.

Here in Ontario she can't kick you out, she has to go through the tribunal. It's probably the same way in Alberta but I don't know. If you have a lease, she has to abide by it, unless she can PROVE you broke it.
