Your tenancy

Tell us the basics. CRITICAL Saskatchewan rule: the 7-BUSINESS-DAY clock under RTA s.32(1) runs from END OF TENANCY ('seven days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays'). Saskatchewan has ONE deposit cap (s.25(1)) at one month's rent — NO separate pet category. NO doubling penalty.

Is this legal advice?

This is a self-help template, not legal advice. Use of this template does not create a solicitor–client relationship. The Legal Profession Act, 1990 permits self-representation; the Saskatchewan ORT is designed for self-represented tenants.

Do I have to pay to know if I have a case?

No. The rights encyclopedia on this site is free and cites the same primary sources the letter does. Read the relevant guide first — plenty of situations are resolved by a phone call to a free statutory body, and where one exists we say so.
