Key Things to Watch in Saskatchewan
These are common commercial lease risks for tenants. Always confirm the exact terms in your lease.
Operating Expense Definitions
Ensure 'operating expenses' are tightly defined, exclude capital expenditures, and require detailed annual reconciliations.
Audit & Dispute Rights
Negotiate a right to audit CAM/operating expense charges and a fair dispute process to avoid surprise billings.
Common Landlord Traps
- Uncapped pass-throughs: Operating costs, taxes, and insurance can rise year-to-year without a cap.
- Capital replacements billed to tenant: Avoid language that makes you pay for roof/HVAC replacement.
- Short notice deadlines: Renewal and termination rights can depend on strict written notice windows.
