Manitoba Eviction Laws (2026)
Manitoba tenancies are administered by the Residential Tenancies Branch (RTB), with appeals to the Residential Tenancies Commission. Notices and timelines are prescribed; only the Branch/Commission process can lead to a lawful eviction.
Governing law: The Residential Tenancies Act, C.C.S.M. c. R119

The Residential Tenancies Branch
The RTB administers the Act, investigates, and issues orders of possession. Landlords cannot evict on their own.
Non-payment
For unpaid rent, a landlord can give notice and, if unpaid, apply to the Branch for an order of possession. Tenants can usually stop it by paying the arrears.
For-cause and end-of-tenancy notices
Different notice periods apply for cause (damage, disturbing others) versus ending a periodic tenancy. The Branch enforces the correct form and timing.
The Commission
Either party can appeal an RTB order to the Residential Tenancies Commission.
Enforcement
An order of possession is enforced through the proper legal process — never by lockout or removing belongings.
Stop tracking Manitoba compliance in spreadsheets
Proprietio keeps your leases, deposits, rent increases, and notices province-aware — so you stay onside with the Manitoba tribunal without memorizing the Act.
