Sources & methodology
The filing fee is the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT)'s published fee; it has not yet been checked against the official fee schedule for this page, so confirm it with the court before you file. The timeline and typical rent are estimates. Property damage ($2,000), legal fees ($800) and turnover ($1,200) are round planning figures, the same for every province and territory, not costs measured in Saskatchewan. Real costs vary by county, whether the tenant contests, and the market.
