The landlord can apply for an order to end the tenancy and get back possession of the property. They can do this through the Residential Tenancy Dispute Resolution Service or Alberta Court of Justice Civil .When applying for this order, the landlord will serve the tenant with new documents. For more information on this process, refer to our Who Can Help page.
If the tenant does not move after service of the order, the landlord may hire a civil enforcement agency to evict the tenant. A civil enforcement agency bailiff can then come to the property, remove the tenant and any of the tenant’s belongings. Only the bailiff has the power to physically remove the tenant and the tenant’s belongings. The landlord cannot remove the tenant themselves.
