Alberta residential tenancy
Alberta rental dispute filing fee calculator (2026)
Estimate the official RTDRS application fee using the April 1, 2026 tiers. This is a filing-fee estimator, not a total legal-cost quote.
Fee bands and boundaries
- $0 to $7,500 including exactly $7,500: $75 standard claim or counterapplication.
- Above $7,500: $150 for a new claim.
- Above $7,500: $100 only for a counterapplication responding to an existing active RTDRS application involving the same parties; otherwise the calculator withholds a counterapplication estimate; check the process with RTDRS.
- For amounts above the RTDRS monetary jurisdiction limit, this calculator withholds a filing-fee estimate.
What this fee does not include
The estimator excludes service, document delivery, lawyer assistance, evidence production and court-transfer/enforcement fees. Fee waivers are possible, but not automatically assumed. Eligibility and claims-limit checks still apply.
