Renting and Domestic Violence: Ending Your Lease Early

CPLEA has developed a Tipsheet on the new amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act that allow for victims of domestic violence to break a lease early, without financial penalty, if their home is unsafe. You can download the publication for free at CPLEA's publication page (click on Abuse and Family Violence). This tipsheet is part of CPLEA's Families and the Law: Domestic Violence Series.

CPLEA’s Laws for Landlords and Tenants in Alberta program is generously supported by the Alberta Real Estate Foundation.
