-
Landlord Distress – The Civil Enforcement Act allows a Bailiff on behalf of a landlord to seize a tenant’s property to recover rental arrears. Must be enforced prior to the expiration of a Notice to Terminate. See Landlord Distress.
-
Provincial Court – Once a Notice to Terminate has expired and the tenant remains in the premises an application can be made to the Provincial Court. Less costly than the Court of Queen’s Bench but takes longer to get a hearing.
-
Court of Queen’s Bench – Does not require that a Notice to Terminate be served. A Lawyer is required to make the application, tends to be quite costly and takes longer to get a hearing than RTD.
- The Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTD) – Does not require that a Notice to Terminate be served. Less costly than the Provincial Court and Court of Queen’s Bench, a lawyer is not required to make the application and hearings can generally be set much faster.
Choosing the right place to have your case heard can save you time and money.

Utilizing the Edmonton pilot project since its opening in May of 2006, SERV-IT has gained extensive experience with the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service (RTD). Results have shown the RTD to be a fast and effective alternative that provides fair and consistent decisions for our clients. Response to service has been overwhelmingly positive with the RTD now handling over 98% of our clients’ cases.
-
A Tenancy Dispute Officer will hear your case, including witnesses, and grant a legally binding Order that can be enforced the same as a Court Order (The appeals process is the same regardless of if the Order comes from RTD or the Court of Queen’s Bench).
-
If the action is commenced immediately, possession is generally gained within one tenancy month.
-
Forces communication and resolution.
- Keeps your costs down.
Our knowledge and experience combined with the RTD process allows us to produce superior results at substantial cost savings!
