Alberta moves to ban age discrimination in apartments, condominiums


EDMONTON — Alberta is proposing changes to its laws on condominiums and apartments to prevent age discrimination. Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley introduced amendments Wednesday to the Alberta Human Rights Act. However, there is an exception — renters and condo owners would still be allowed to have seniors-only buildings as long as the minimum age were 55 or older. Condominiums that have an age minimum under 55 will be allowed a 15-year transition so that investors and buyers have time to adapt without incurring financial loss. The province was given a year to amend its human rights act to prohibit age discrimination when providing goods and services or tenancy.
