Consulting and Property Management Support

Problem tenants can often be persuaded to change their behaviour or vacate the premises prior the situation escalating to the point where clients need to seek legal remedy through the courts. We provide hourly consultation and support services, including:

• Coaching and tactical advice;
• Dispute intervention and negotiation;
• Property inspections (for evidence collection);
• Tenant visitations;
• Legal notices (e.g. Letters of Demand for Payment, Letters addressing interference, etc.).

Notices of Default and Civil Enforcement Coordination

Notices of Default are prepared and served in accordance with court Orders (referred to as Conditional Orders/Cinderella Orders) on Tenants, upon default on payment and failure to vacate. Service of a Notice of Default is usually possible within 4 to 12 hours.

Where Tenants fail to abide the Notice of Default and fail to vacate on own accord, Affidavits of Service and required documents are prepared that give Civil Enforcement Agencies authority to enter and take possession of premises or lands and, if necessary, to remove the Tenants. The process from the time of instructing the preparation of the documents and the Bailiff to removing the tenant takes approximately 1-and-half to 2 days and is coordinated by AES at no additional cost.

Damage Claims

Damage Claims allow Landlords to seek compensation for rental arrears, breach of rental terms and/or the cost of repair to damaged property. AES constructs with its clients feasible, credible and legitimate Damage Claims to secure strong court Orders for the purpose of immediate or future enforcement. The procedure follows the same order as described under RTDRS Process and Timeframes, with possible extension of the timeframes due to the complexity of a claim and evidence.

Garnishment

Once court Orders are obtained, Writs of Enforcement and Garnishee Summons are prepared which initiates the collection process whereby funds that are owed by the Tenant (Debtor) are diverted to the Landlord (Creditor) through a third party (i.e., employer) in trust of the courts. AES garnishees only employment earnings, not bank accounts.

Process Service

Document service on parties on behalf of Landlords and law firms can be executed within 4 to 12 hours. AES has servers and affiliates throughout the province of Alberta.

Webinars, In-House Training, Public Speaking

Webinars and other training mechanisms provide a forum for sharing and exchanging gained knowledge and experience pertaining to Alberta residential tenancies. Real estate owners and operators are updated about changes in legislation, new case precedent, current trends in tendencies of Tenants, and focus on the areas of tenancy management that are typically neglected. The power found in knowledge translates into minimized risk, disputes and revenue loss.

Associated Eviction Services (AES) offers paralegal services to local and remote Alberta real estate investors, property managers, real estate agents representing investors and building managers. We specialize in residential tenancy dispute matters within Alberta jurisdiction.
