Is Saskatoon's high road / low road landlord plan law yet?

No, because it was never introduced here to begin with; there is no bill or bylaw called a “high road low road” landlord plan working through Saskatoon city council or the Saskatchewan Legislature. Landlord and tenant law in this province already exists and is already in force, through the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006.

Provincial legislation like this changes through the Saskatchewan Legislature, not through Saskatoon's city council, so even a genuine proposal along those lines would need to move through a provincial bill, committee review and royal assent before it applied here.

Saskatoon city council does pass its own bylaws affecting rental housing, such as the property standards bylaw that lets an inspector order repairs on a unit, but that operates alongside provincial tenancy law rather than replacing or graduating landlords into tiers.

If a real proposal like this ever moves through the Legislature, it would be province-wide news, not a Saskatoon-specific pilot, so there is nothing pending here to track. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
