Regina, Saskatchewan landlord software
Before you lease a Regina secondary suite, confirm it went through the City’s permit process and keep the paperwork with the unit. If short stays are involved, Regina has a separate licence with its own landlord consent step.
RentMouse keeps leases, rent, maintenance, documents and tenant communication for your Regina rentals in one workspace, with lease guidance linked to Saskatchewan jurisdiction records. Review the applicable sources before relying on a draft.

Renting in Regina
Regina’s Zoning Bylaw allows secondary suites in most residential zones, and each suite must meet building code requirements such as fire protection, separation of dwelling units and smoke alarms. Short stays under 30 days need a Residential Short-Term Accommodation licence, and the Community Standards Bylaw regulates the maintenance of properties and structures. Rent increase notices follow the Saskatchewan Office of Residential Tenancies process.
Neighbourhoods landlords here manage: Cathedral, Downtown Regina, Wascana View, University Park, Harbour Landing, Lakeview.
Confirm the suite went through permitting
The City requires a secondary suite permit application signed by the legal owner and the applicant, submitted through eBuild or in person at City Hall. Construction cannot begin until the permit is issued, and the City says starting work first brings a surcharge. Gas or electrical work goes through the Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan. Keep the permit reference and approved drawings with the unit, and ask the City if you are unsure what was approved.
Short stays need a licence and owner consent
Anyone offering accommodation for a fee for less than 30 days needs a residential short-term accommodation licence, and the licence number must appear on all advertising. If the applicant rents the property, the City requires written consent from the property owner on its Landlord Consent Form. Secondary property units also need a fire inspection with the initial application. The licence page says new secondary-property licences are paused under a City policy, so check its current status.
Keep property records and serve rent notices correctly
The Community Standards Bylaw sets out how properties and structures must be maintained, so keep dated inspection and repair records for each unit in RentMouse. For rent increases, the Saskatchewan government requires a 12-month notice in a periodic tenancy for landlords who are not members of a prescribed landlord association. That increase cannot start within the first 18 months of the tenancy and can happen only once every 12 months. Fixed-term tenancies use a two-month notice served before the end date.
