How much notice do I have to give?

How much notice you have to give depends on what you are ending, a residential tenancy or a home purchase agreement's condition period. Saskatchewan's Residential Tenancies Act sets a minimum written notice period for ending a periodic tenancy, while a purchase contract's dates are whatever you and the other party agreed to in writing.

For a seller, notice usually means giving your lawyer enough lead time to review title through Information Services Corporation and prepare documents before possession day. Two to three weeks before your possession date is a common cushion for that legal work, though your lawyer will confirm the exact timeline for your file.

Your lawyer's fee for that work typically runs $800 to $1,500, and paying it is part of what buys you the lead time to line up your notice and your move date correctly.
