Saskatchewan rent increase rules
Saskatchewan has no limit on the size of an increase, but it has the longest notice requirement in Canada. A landlord who is not a member of a prescribed landlord association must give 12 months' notice, and the increase cannot start within 18 months of the tenancy beginning. Members in good standing give 6 months and may raise rent every 6 months.
- Standard landlord, 12 months' notice
- Member of a prescribed landlord association, 6 months' notice
- Administered by the Office of Residential Tenancies.
Fixed-term tenancies follow the increase written into the agreement, with a two-month notice of intention at term end. This calculator models periodic tenancies. Confirm the current rules with the Office of Residential Tenancies before serving a notice.

Changes in legislation and policy
No change in the rules on the amount of an increase is on record for Saskatchewan in this period. The notice and timing rules on this page are the current ones.
Increases above the limit
There is no cap. A tenant whose landlord raised rent without proper notice can apply to the Office of Residential Tenancies for compensation, and a non-compliant notice takes effect on the earliest date that would have complied.
When a tenant leaves
A new tenancy resets the clock and the landlord sets the opening rent.
Frequently asked questions
Does Saskatchewan have rent control?
No. There is no maximum percentage. The Act controls notice periods and how often rent can be raised.
How much notice does a Saskatchewan landlord have to give?
Twelve months for a landlord who is not in a prescribed landlord association, and six months for members in good standing of the Saskatchewan Landlord Association or the Northern Property and Housing Providers Society.
When can a Saskatchewan landlord first raise the rent?
Non-members cannot have an increase begin within 18 months of the tenancy start, because of the 12-month notice. Association members cannot have one begin within the first 12 months.
