How the calculator works

The calculator takes the date the landlord gets the tenant's notice and the day rent is due, and finds the earliest end date the Alberta rule allows. It covers a month-to-month tenancy ended by the tenant.

  1. First full rental month = the one that starts on the first rent day on or after the day the notice arrives
  2. End date = the last day of that rental month, which is the day before the next rent day

Worked example

Say the landlord receives the tenant's notice on September 15, 2026, and rent is due on the 1st. The earliest the tenancy can end is October 31, 2026, which is 46 days of notice. Rent is owed up to and including that day.
