Saskatchewan's Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 sets both ends of the notice: at least 24 hours and no more than seven days ahead, with a window of four hours or less between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Showings have their own shorter rules. Here is each rule with a link to the Act and the province's own guidance.

What Saskatchewan requires

The written notice

Give written notice 24 hours to seven days before the entry. It states a reasonable purpose, the date, and a window of no more than four hours between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. unless the tenant agrees to another time. The Office of Residential Tenancies offers an approved notice through its online portal.

Serving it so it counts

Hand the notice to the tenant, or post it on the front door and also mail it or send it electronically. Mail counts as served on the third business day after mailing, so plan the date of entry from then.

Showings

Near the end of a tenancy, prospective tenants can be shown the unit two hours after notice. Prospective buyers need 24 hours' notice or consent. Either kind of showing is limited to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., never on a Sunday or the tenant's day of worship.

Common mistakes

  • A notice giving a full-day window: Saskatchewan caps it at four hours.
  • Notice given ten days ahead: more than seven days does not count.
  • Mailing the notice the day before the entry: it is not served until the third business day.
