You can report a landlord to Alberta Health Services if you feel public health standards are not being maintained. Executive officers enforce public health standards. An executive officer has the power to inspect premises to determine if an owner is complying with public health regulations. If an owner will not allow entry to the premises, the executive officer can apply for a court order. If the executive officer inspects the property and determines that public health standards are not being met, the officer can issue a number of different orders. The orders include declarations that the premises are unfit for human habitation, that the premises should be vacated, or that work should be carried out on the property to ensure compliance with standards. The landlord can appeal to the Public Health Board.( [2 T5 Y( P, _" }3 F9 C
