| Limit | Saskatchewan has no limit on the amount of a rent increase. The law controls only when an increase can start and how much notice the tenant gets. |
|---|---|
| How often | The first increase cannot start until 18 months after the tenancy began, and later increases need 12 months between them. For members of the Saskatchewan Landlord Association or the Network of Non-Profit Housing Providers, it is 12 months for the first increase and 6 months after that. In a fixed-term lease, rent can only go up if the amount and timing were agreed when the lease was signed. |
| Notice | At least 12 months of written notice, or 6 months for members of a prescribed landlord association. A mailed notice counts as served on the third business day after mailing. |
| Form | Notice of Rent Increase, created through the Office of Residential Tenancies online portal (a separate version exists for association members). |

The calculator takes the current rent, the date of the last increase, the date the tenant gets the notice and the day rent is due. It finds the earliest date allowed by the waiting rule and by the notice rule, and the increase can start on the later of the two.
Earliest by the waiting rule = start of the tenancy + 18 months for the first increase, or the last increase + 12 months after thatEarliest by the notice rule = date the tenant gets the notice + 12 monthsEarliest start date = the later of the twoSay the rent is $1,800 a month, due on the 1st. It last went up on December 1, 2025, and the tenant receives the notice on August 15, 2026.
| Step | How | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Earliest by the waiting rule | December 1, 2025 + the waiting period | December 1, 2026 |
| Earliest by the notice rule | Notice received August 15, 2026 | August 15, 2027 |
| Earliest start date | The later of the two | August 15, 2027 |
