Landlord vs City Over Homeless Encampment | Winnipeg News

A Winnipeg landlord is fighting back after the city ordered him to clear a homeless encampment from his property—or face hefty tax penalties. Frustrated by the short notice and the burden of managing a crisis he says belongs to the government, he’s appealed the order. The city insists it works with property owners and offers outreach services to help relocate residents—but the landlord argues police merely shift the problem, not solve it. Meanwhile, city council members are sounding the alarm, warning that private property owners and even daycare centers lack the tools to handle the hazardous waste and public safety risks tied to these encampments. With tensions rising and no clear solution in sight, the council is calling for an emergency meeting, highlighting a deeper struggle over responsibility, resources, and who’s truly meant to handle the growing homelessness crisis.
