If the landlord has done something wrong that is not substantial, the tenant may be able to end the lease. They can apply to the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service or Alberta Court of Justice Civil to terminate the tenancy.
If the tenant applies to terminate the lease, the tenant will need details about what the landlord did wrong. This is where it is very helpful for the tenant to have documentation showing that the landlord knew about the problem(s) but did nothing to resolve them.
