What does the plan mean for small mom-and-pop landlords in Saskatoon?

Saskatoon has no citywide rent control plan or similar regulation comparable to what other cities have proposed; small landlords here operate under the province's Residential Tenancies Act, 2006, which governs notice periods, rent increases and dispute resolution for every landlord regardless of portfolio size.

A small landlord's main obligations are the same as a large one's under that Act: proper notice for a rent increase, proper notice to end a tenancy, and following the Office of Residential Tenancies process if a dispute arises rather than acting unilaterally.

Where a small landlord differs in practice is cash flow. A single-property owner has less cushion for a vacancy or a non-paying tenant than a large portfolio does, so the reserve fund and the legality of any secondary suite matter even more to the numbers working.

Joel Dyck helps small landlords in Saskatoon understand what their specific property is worth and what it can realistically carry before they buy or sell. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
