The Surface Lease Rental Recovery Partner (SLRRP) program was developed with the goal of reducing the stress landowners feel when lease rental payments are not being paid by oil and gas operators.

 

The Alberta Government has a Rental Recovery program in place through the Land and Property Rights Tribunal (LPRT) to aid landowners in the recovery of missed payments.  It is a great program, but the system and applications can be cumbersome and difficult for landowners to navigate.  A similar system may also be coming to aid Saskatchewan landowners, but is not yet in place. We will be watching closely for any information coming out about this new program for Saskatchewan landowners.

 

We have completed hundreds of applications for Alberta landowners and been able to recover nearly $5 million for our rental recovery clients in the past two years.  

 

The wait for application decisions can be lengthy—approximately 18 months from the time of submission. To help manage this process, we’ve developed a database that allows us to track client applications efficiently and add any subsequent unpaid rentals during the wait period. We’ve also built strong relationships with the staff at the Land and Property Rights Tribunal, ensuring effective follow-ups to keep applications on track.
