These inquiries, typically from tenants, focus on understanding their rights in the face of claims made by their landlords.

Understanding Your Rights as a Tenant
Tenants often face a variety of issues, such as disputes over rent, maintenance obligations, lease terms, and eviction threats. Knowing your rights is crucial in these situations, and SK Legal is here to help you clarify these matters. Our experienced lawyers are well-versed in landlord/tenant laws and can provide the guidance you need to protect your interests.
Formal Engagement Requirement
In accordance with the Law Society of Alberta’s requirements, SK Legal must be formally engaged before we can offer legal advice. This ensures that we maintain professional standards and provide the best possible service to our clients. To engage our services, tenants will need to sign our standard engagement letter and agree to the terms outlined.
