Insurance and Real Estate – The Real Estate Act and The Real Estate Regulations are now in force
May 20, 2020 - Effective today, amendments to The Real Estate Act (the “Act”) and The Real Estate Regulations (the “Regulations”) are now in force.
These amendments are the result of a multi-year project to support the efficient regulation of real estate in Saskatchewan and to facilitate the use of modern technologies in real estate transactions. For a full list of the changes to the Act and Regulations, please review The Real Estate Amendment Act, 2019 , and The Real Estate (Miscellaneous) Amendment Regulations, 2020
Amendments to the Act include:
- changes to the bylaw making process, granting the Saskatchewan Real Estate Commission (the “Commission”) more autonomy over the creation of bylaws related to the administration of the Commission;
- changes to the disciplinary process that permit the Registrar to appeal a decision of the Commission where it is in the public interest to do so;
- the ability to make regulations regarding the use of an electronic signature program, including requirements for the witnessing of electronic signatures; and
- updating the penalties that may be levied against a registrant. Registrants found guilty of professional incompetence or misconduct may be subject to a maximum fine of $25,000 for each finding and a maximum for $100,000 for all findings. The Commission has been granted the authority to levy special penalties in the case of a breach of specified provisions of the Act and Regulations.
Amendments to the Regulations include:
- a waiver of the witness requirement for certain documents when signed using an electronic signature program that meets the requirements of the Commission’s Bylaws;
- a provision that enables the Commission to make an order for restitution if a registrant has committed professional incompetence or professional misconduct;
- a list of specific contraventions of the Act and Regulations which may be levied by special penalty, and the amount of the corresponding penalty; and
- a provision allowing a registrant to trade through another brokerage when they are trading in in real estate property in which they have an interest, provided certain conditions are met.
The Commission’s Bylaws have also been amended to facilitate the use of electronic signatures without a witness. The amendments to the Bylaw come into force upon publication in the Saskatchewan Gazette, which we anticipate to be May 22, 2020. Registrants are encouraged to contact the Commission for more details regarding compliance with the new bylaw.
