Rent control threshold expanding to $2,000 a month in Manitoba, province says
politics / draft
Manitoba's government is expanding its rent control program. Starting next year, renters paying up to $2,000 per month will be covered, up from the previous $1,670 limit. This change, proposed by the NDP government, aims to protect more tenants from large rent hikes. Landlords will be limited to a 3% rent increase next year for these units. Some new buildings may be exempt. This move is part of the government fulfilling a promise to enhance renter protections. Further details on specific exemptions and landlord impacts might emerge.
