What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Mintu Sandhu introduced Bill 13, which is described as the largest expansion to rent controls in decades in Manitoba. The current maximum annual rent increase in Manitoba is set at 1.8 per cent. Tenant advocates have released an open letter calling on the government to immediately implement the bill's amendments and expand eligibility for rent control protections.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The legislation seeks to curb rent increases, which currently allow landlords to seek higher hikes if they demonstrate the increase will not cover costs such as property improvements. The push for regulatory expansion suggests potential changes to how many units in Manitoba are eligible for rent control protections.
