Above guidelines rent increases (an average of 9% in 2022, some as high as 137%! - during a ‘rent-freeze’) push tenants out of their homes and deepen Winnipeg’s housing crisis. 60,000+ MB tenant households have faced AGIs in the past 3 years.

While the govt claims to support tenants w/ a 'rent freeze' the RTB OK'd rent hikes averaging 9% (up to 126%!) for tens of 1000s of units in 2022. WBTC member Sam highlights how this pushes tenants out of our homes & neighbourhoods. winnipegfreepress.com/breakingnews/2…
