What are the laws governing self-storage rentals in Alberta?
Self-storage operations in Alberta are governed primarily by municipal land-use bylaws and general commercial statutes rather than a dedicated, industry-specific self-storage act.
In the absence of specific self-storage lien legislation, Alberta facility operators often rely on the Warehousemen's Lien Act (RSA 2000, c W-2) to handle delinquent accounts.
