What is Suite Smarts?

Join our fictional protagonist, Adam Smart, as he learns the basics of being a landlord in Alberta. In this self-paced on-line course you will be using the Alberta Residential Tenancies Act and Residential Tenancy Ministerial Regulations to make decisions on the right course of action for the challenges Adam faces as he manages his new investment property. You will be asked multiple choice, yes / no and true /false questions as well as matching some terms to definitions in order to complete the journey through the set up of his apartment management business and situations that arise with each of his six tenants. This is an excellent opportunity for people new to the industry, or for veteran landlords who wish to brush up on their knowledge of the Alberta Residential Tenancy legislation.
