Manitoba rent increase guideline calculator

Calculate an illustrative guideline-based rent only after checking whether the Residential Tenancies Branch rent guideline actually covers the unit.

Calculate an illustrative guideline rent

What the calculation does not establish

  • That a rental unit meets the criteria to be covered. For the 2027 high-rent exemption, the regulation uses the rent payable on December 31, 2026 (at least $2,000), not the proposed post-increase amount; other exemptions also apply. The threshold adjusts annually starting in 2028. Check the regulation and tenancy details before selecting “Yes.”
  • That a valid written notice was delivered at least three months ahead, or that 12 months have passed since the last increase.
  • That the landlord has or has not received an above-guideline order. A guideline increase and an approved exception are legally different.

Next steps

If the proposal appears excessive or the tenancy may be exempt, consult the notice rules and above-guideline guide. Keep copies of notices and the existing lease.
