Can a tenant argue that service by posting was not served on the notice of the landlord?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Abougouche v Miller, 2015 ABQB 724 (CanLII):
I note and respect the decision of Madam Justice Veit in Hansen v. Hicks, 2007 ABQB 746 that was cited to me on behalf of the landlord with respect to service by posting in residential tenancy matters. In that case, she held that given the choice of the legislature to allow for service by posting, the tenant could not then argue that actual notice was not received. In that case, there was a sub-tenant in occupation of the property.
