What Saskatchewan requires

Seven business days

Within seven business days after you know, or should reasonably have known, the tenant vacated: pay back the deposit with any interest, or pay back the part not claimed, serve notice in the approved form of your intention to keep the rest, and hold that amount in trust for 30 days from the end of the tenancy. The notice itself is the approved form; a ReportDraft statement is the itemized breakdown of your claim.

Where the notice goes

The notice goes to the forwarding address the tenant gave at the end of the tenancy, in person, by ordinary mail or electronically. If no forwarding address was given, no notice is required.

No automatic keeping

A tenancy agreement cannot say the landlord will automatically keep all or part of the deposit; a claim goes through the Office of Residential Tenancies. The steps do not apply where, when the tenancy ends, the tenant agrees in writing that the landlord may keep all or part of it and the landlord pays back any part not claimed.

Clean, undamaged, keys back

A tenant who vacates leaves the unit reasonably clean and undamaged, except for reasonable wear and tear, and gives back every key and other means of access. When the tenancy ends because of the landlord's notice for the landlord's own use, the deposit is returned without deduction apart from rent and utility arrears.

Disputes

If the landlord does not follow these steps, or the tenant disputes the claim, the tenant may apply to the director for an order on the deposit within 60 days after the tenancy ends.

Common mistakes

  • Writing your own notice instead of using the approved form.
  • Counting calendar days instead of business days.
  • Relying on a lease clause that keeps the deposit automatically.
  • Deducting for your own-use move-out beyond rent and utility arrears.
