Bill 13: The Residential Tenancies Amendment Act

This bill directly affects residential landlords in Manitoba — whether you're a solo operator renting out a single basement suite or a small property management company overseeing multiple units. If you own or manage rental properties, you'll now need to file unit-level information (address, your contact details, and your repair agent's info) with the province, and keep that information updated within 30 days of any changes. You'll also need to give tenants proper notice before showing a unit to prospective renters while they're still living there. On the penalty side, if you ignore a director's order, fines can now reach $10,000 — double the previous maximum — so non-compliance carries real financial risk.
