In Saskatchewan, the Residential Tenancies Act regulates rent increases for most residential rental units. The province establishes an annual maximum rent increase guideline that landlords must follow. Some units, such as newly constructed or exempt housing, may not fall under this guideline. Landlords are required to provide proper written notice—usually at least three months—before increasing rent. Tenants should review their lease agreements, track previous rent adjustments, and understand their rights to ensure all rent increases comply with provincial rules.
Certain units in Saskatchewan, such as newly constructed or exempt housing, may not be subject to the provincial rent increase guideline.
