How do I evict a tenant in Saskatchewan?

Evictions in Saskatchewan run through the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (SK). Here is the step-by-step legal pathway:

Step-by-step in Saskatchewan

  1. 1
    Identify your grounds. Non-payment, persistent late payments, illegal activity, or landlord-own-use each have a different notice type under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (SK).
  2. 2
    Serve the correct notice. In Saskatchewan, the standard notice is ORT-1 + Notice of Hearing. Central Rentals pre-fills the right form based on your grounds and tenant data.
  3. 3
    Wait out the statutory notice period. Saskatchewan requires a specific number of days before you can apply to the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) — Central Rentals counts these days automatically.
  4. 4
    File the eviction application. Submit your case to the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) with all served notices, the lease, and rent ledger as evidence. Central Rentals exports this bundle in PDF.
  5. 5
    Attend the hearing. Bring your evidence, served notices, and rent ledger. Central Rentals stores everything in one tap-to-share folder.
  6. 6
    Enforce the order. If granted, the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) order is enforced by the local sheriff or bailiff — Central Rentals reminds you of the move-out date and helps you reclaim possession.

Why this matters

Because Saskatchewan's Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (SK) is heavily tenant-protective, even one procedural mistake (wrong notice, wrong service method, wrong days) can void an entire eviction. Following the documented path is the only way to win at Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT).

Frequently asked

Can I evict for non-payment of rent in Saskatchewan?

Yes. After ORT-1 + Notice of Hearing is served and the statutory window passes, you can apply to the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT). Central Rentals' Late Rent Module sends the notice automatically when rent is past due.

How long does an eviction take in Saskatchewan in 2026?

Typical end-to-end timelines range from 6 weeks (uncontested non-payment) to 6 months (contested cause). Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) backlog and your evidence quality determine the outcome — Central Rentals' bundle reduces hearings.

What if my tenant pays the rent after I serve ORT-1 + Notice of Hearing?

In most provinces, paying the arrears within the notice period voids the notice. Central Rentals warns you when a payment cancels a notice so you don't lose the timeline.
