Here's the rent increase quote of Alberta:

Rent Increases: Notice and Timing

There are no rent controls in Alberta. Rent can only be increased if there has not been a rent increase within the previous 365 days or since the start of the tenancy, whichever is later. Before the rent can be increased the landlord must give the following written notice:

weekly: 12 full tenancy weeks
monthly: 3 full tenancy months
any other periodic tenancy: 90 days

So Alberta doesn't have any sort of % cap of rent increment.

UNTIL A few yrs ago BC had same laws but due to the "Slum Lords" and "drug addicts/dealers" using and abusing properties a lot of the laws concerning renting and renting out of properties have become much stricter in BC many of the big gangs in the lower mainland use properties in the north as grow ops and stash houses as they find it easier to stay under the radar up here than places like Hongcouver.
