Winnipeg Tenants Fight 78% Rent Hike | Toronto News

Tenants in Winnipeg are fighting back against a proposed 78% rent hike, claiming landlords are prioritizing cosmetic upgrades like new flooring and security systems over fixing crumbling living conditions—leaking radiators, dripping faucets, and more. While landlords argue the changes justify the spike under cost-of-living loopholes, tenants fear it’s a scheme to evict them so they can renovate units and charge even higher rents to new tenants. With no hearing scheduled yet and provincial rent control reforms still pending, residents on fixed incomes face mounting pressure as the battle for fair housing rages on.
