Making an ORT Claim

A tenant or a landlord can apply for an order from the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) to resolve a dispute.

To apply for an order:

  • The landlord or tenant applies and pays an application fee. Most claims have a $50 filing fee. The person applying for an order is called the applicant.
  • The ORT provides the applicant with a notice of hearing. The notice will indicate the time and place of the hearing.
  • The applicant must complete the hearing notice, adding any additional claims, so that the other party will know what the applicant is claiming and what they want.
  • The applicant must provide a copy of the completed hearing notice to the other party or parties along with any evidence that will be used to support the claim.

An application for an order can be made up to one year after events happened. Additional information about service, evidence and preparing for a hearing is available from the ORT.

Applications can be submitted through the ORT's new online portal. The online portal allows residential landlords and tenants to login using their business or individual Saskatchewan Account. It can be used to create notices; submit applications, evidence, photos and other documents; and make payments 24 hours a day. By using the online portal, you will have immediate access to and know the current status of your submission(s).

The applicant must give copies of the completed notice of hearing to all persons involved. It is important to make sure all the people involved know about the hearing. If a party did not know about the hearing they can ask for another hearing even if an order has already been made.
