Manitoba tenancy calculator
Manitoba deposit return and claim date planner
A landlord with no deposit claim generally has 14 days from the tenancy end to return the deposit. A written landlord claim usually has a 28-day window.
Plan the dates
14 days and 28 days are not interchangeable
- Where there is no claim, the Branch says a deposit is normally returned within 14 days of the tenancy ending, including any required interest.
- Where the landlord claims deductions, the Branch generally requires written notice to the tenant within 28 days of the tenancy ending.
- A valid deduction, an unresolved amount or an ownership dispute may need the Branch to decide. A calculator cannot establish whether the claim is legitimate.
Protect your evidence
Keep the signed lease, deposit receipt, condition reports, photographs, forwarding address and copies of correspondence. If dates are close, confirm them directly with the Branch rather than relying on a calendar estimate.
