Saskatchewan residential tenancy

Saskatchewan deposit claim and dispute planner

Check the usual seven-business-day landlord deadline and the 60-day period for a tenant to dispute a deposit claim.

Select the tenancy end date

Business-day illustrations exclude weekends but cannot determine Saskatchewan statutory holidays, evidence of actual vacating, or valid service. Illustrative information only: confirm the official law, service method, holidays, and facts before acting.

Why the two dates differ

For landlord claims or deposit returns, the statutory seven-business-day trigger can depend on when the landlord actually knew or reasonably should have known the tenant vacated. For tenant disputes, use the tenancy end date. If these dates differ, calculate separately. The province gives landlords a seven-business-day benchmark for the deposit return/claim response. Tenants disputing a deposit or non-return use a separate 60-day application process, with the usual $50 fee. Read the deposit dispute guide.
