Saskatchewan rent increase notice calculator
How much notice do you need to raise rent in Saskatchewan? For a periodic (month-to-month) tenancy it is a 12-month Notice of Rent Increase, or six months if the landlord is a member in good standing of a prescribed landlord association. For a fixed-term lease, a Two Month Notice of Intention. There are also rules on how early in a tenancy and how often rent can go up. This calculator works out those dates. Everything runs in your browser; nothing you type is sent anywhere.

The rules this calculator uses
Quoted from the Government of Saskatchewan page Rent Increases (saskatchewan.ca). Last verified: 2026-11-09.
- Fixed-term tenancies: "Rent may be increased by either a percentage or dollar amount for fixed-term tenancies as indicated in the written tenancy agreement or as indicated in the Term Lease – Two Month Notice of Intention Form available through the ORT’s online portal. This form must be served on the tenants at least two months before the tenancy end date. Tenants have 30 days to accept the new terms in writing or to vacate the property by the tenancy end date."
- Periodic tenancies: "Landlords who are not members of a prescribed landlord association may serve tenants with a 12-month Notice of Rent Increase available through the ORT’s online portal. The rent increase may not begin within the first 18 months of the tenancy start date, and the rent may only be increased once every 12 months."
- "Landlords who are members in good standing of either the Network of Non-Profit Housing Providers of Saskatchewan Incorporated (NPHPS) or the Saskatchewan Landlord Association Inc. (SKLA) may serve tenants with a six-month Notice of Rent Increase for Prescribed Landlord Association Members available through the ORT’s online portal. The rent increase may not begin within the first 12 months of the tenancy start date, and it may only be increased once every six months."
- Housing programs: "Housing program tenancies, where rent is based on a tenant’s income, may be increased by the housing program as a tenant’s income increases." This calculator does not cover those.
How the dates are counted
- Notice: we count full months with a one-day margin. The serve-by date is the day before the same date 12 (or 6, or 2) months earlier, so February 1, 2027 needs a 12-month notice served by January 31, 2026. If that day doesn't exist (for example August 31 → February), the calculator uses the earlier, safer date.
- First 18 (or 12) months: the increase can begin on the same date 18 (or 12) months after the tenancy started.
- Once every 12 (or 6) months: the same date 12 (or 6) months after the last increase.
- Delivery: the serve-by date is when the tenant must have the notice. The official page does not say how many days mail or email adds, so if you are not handing it over in person, send it well before that date.
- The official page does not say how a month is counted, so we use the safer count above. For a close call ask the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT), 1-888-215-2222.
Is there an official Saskatchewan rent increase notice form?
Yes, but not as a public download. The saskatchewan.ca Rent Increases page says the 12-month Notice of Rent Increase, the six-month Notice of Rent Increase for Prescribed Landlord Association Members and the Term Lease – Two Month Notice of Intention Form are each "available through the ORT’s online portal". The Office of Residential Tenancies page says: "ORT notices and applications are available through the ORT’s online portal" and "A Saskatchewan Account is required to access the ORT’s online portal. New users will need to register." Once registered, you link the Office of Residential Tenancies service card and choose "Access Office of Residential Tenancies".
So: sign in at services.saskatchewan.ca with a Saskatchewan Account and create the notice in the ORT portal. We found no blank PDF of these notices on those pages (checked 2026-11-09), and we don't offer a substitute template: use the official notice. Use the calculator above to pick the dates first.
Keeping track of renewals and notice dates
A 12-month notice is easy to forget. If you manage several units, a paid spreadsheet by Kyle Falk (Lease & Renewal Tracker) lists every lease with its renewal and notice dates in one place. The Small Landlord Records Bundle includes it with the other landlord record sheets. This calculator stays free either way.
