Post-Eviction Resources in Saskatchewan

After an eviction, it's essential to know where you can seek assistance. In Saskatchewan, various organizations and government bodies can provide support.

Saskatchewan Housing Authorities

Saskatchewan Housing Authorities offer support to tenants affected by eviction. They provide temporary housing options and guidance on finding a new home. These authorities work under the residential tenancy framework to ensure fair treatment.

Call ahead to ask about temporary housing options and the documents they require, such as a photo ID and proof of eviction. If they can't assist immediately, ask for referrals to nearby shelters or rental assistance programs.

Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT)

The Office of Residential Tenancies oversees disputes between landlords and tenants. Even post-eviction, they can offer advice and legal support. To learn more about your rights, refer to Tenant Rights and Landlord Rights in Saskatchewan.

ORT can help with mediation, dispute resolution steps, and guidance on filing complaints. Keep your tenancy records, eviction notice, and any correspondence handy, and ask what timeframes apply to your situation.
