Common Questions
Can a landlord evict me without reason in Saskatchewan?
Generally no. Saskatchewan requires a valid reason (non-payment, substantial breach, landlord's own use, etc.) and proper written notice. "No fault" evictions are limited.
What can a landlord deduct from my security deposit?
Landlords can deduct for unpaid rent and damage beyond normal wear and tear. They cannot deduct for: minor scuffs or nail holes, carpet wear from normal use, or general cleaning that was already needed. An itemized statement must be provided.
How do I file a complaint against my landlord (or tenant) in Saskatchewan?
File an application with the Office of Residential Tenancies at https://www.saskatchewan.ca/government/government-structure/boards-commissions-and-agencies/office-of-residential-tenancies. Filing fee: $50 for most applications. Gather your evidence (lease, notices, photos, messages) before filing.
My landlord wants to enter without notice. Is that legal?
In most cases, no. Saskatchewan requires 24 hours' written notice. Entry without notice (except for emergencies) is generally a breach of the tenant's right to quiet enjoyment and can be raised as a complaint at the ORT.
