Saskatchewan rental application rules to know
- •A security deposit cannot exceed one month's rent. At the start of the tenancy the landlord may require only half, and the remaining half is not due until two months after you move in (The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006).
- •When the tenancy ends, the landlord has 7 business days to return your deposit and any interest, or to apply to the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) to keep part of it and pay you the rest (RTA s. 32).
- •Interest on a security deposit is only payable for tenancies lasting more than five years, so most renters will not accrue any deposit interest.
- •Saskatchewan has no rent control, so there is no cap on the size of an increase. Rent can normally be raised only once every 12 months with a full 12 months of written notice, but a landlord who belongs to a recognized landlord association may raise rent as often as every 6 months and needs to give only 6 months of written notice.
- •Under The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code, receipt of public assistance is a protected ground, so a landlord cannot refuse you or change your terms because your income comes from social assistance or an income plan benefit.
- •You can be asked for your Social Insurance Number, but you are not required to provide it. The federal Privacy Commissioner advises against sharing it, and a basic credit check needs only your name, date of birth and address.
- •A criminal record is not a protected ground in Saskatchewan, in either employment or tenancy, so a landlord is allowed to ask about it.
- •Saskatchewan's tenancy law does not specifically regulate rental application fees, so a landlord may ask for one. Confirm in writing whether any such fee is refundable before you pay it.

Frequently asked questions
How much can a Saskatchewan landlord require as a deposit up front?
The total security deposit cannot exceed one month's rent, and at the start of the tenancy the landlord can require only half of it. The remaining half is not due until two months after you move in (The Residential Tenancies Act, 2006).
When do I get my security deposit back in Saskatchewan?
Within 7 business days of the tenancy ending, the landlord must return the deposit and any interest, or pay you the undisputed portion and apply to the Office of Residential Tenancies to decide the rest (RTA s. 32).
Is there rent control in Saskatchewan?
No. There is no cap on the amount of a rent increase. Rent can normally go up only once every 12 months with 12 months of written notice, but a landlord who is a member in good standing of a recognized landlord association may raise rent as often as every 6 months and needs to give only 6 months of written notice.
Can a landlord refuse me because I receive public assistance?
No. Receipt of public assistance is a protected ground under The Saskatchewan Human Rights Code, so a landlord cannot deny you housing or set different terms because your income comes from social assistance or an income plan benefit.
Do I have to give my Social Insurance Number on a rental application?
No. A landlord may ask, but a SIN is not required, and the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada advises against sharing it. A credit check works with just your name, date of birth and address.
Can a landlord charge an application fee in Saskatchewan?
Saskatchewan's tenancy legislation does not specifically address application fees, so a landlord may ask for one. Get the amount and whether it is refundable in writing before paying, and note that the deposit itself is separate and capped at one month's rent.
