What happens if my tenant refuses to leave, I am not covered by the residential tenancy act. Alberta canada. The

Hello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.

I don't take calls. The fee for the call never went through anyway.

Do you want me to assist you online?

Or you can make the phone request and see if someone else takes the call.

Has the tenant said they won't leave?

You could try and change the locks but often the police don't understand the law and require you to let him back in.

So then you would have to get an order for possession from the court. After that depending on where you live the sheriff or bailiff will remove him.

It may be best to look for a lawyer now just in case you need them.

You can contact the Law Society and use their Lawyer Referral Service. You will be given the name of a lawyer and can consult with the lawyer and the first half hour will be free.

The number is:
