Winnipeg is seeing foreign ((BC) landlord think our average rent is 2500 and he The largest landlord in Winnipeg is trying to put through this increases. As he is a month to month renter who negotiates with both Governments he may get away with this crap. I sent them your data and a piece of my mind . They suddenly became very friendly when i mentioned a rent boycott. Too bad I am sending your data to all the residents.
No we are not Vancouver and no the rent here is not 2500 with 1100 discount. As a senior on a mostly fixed income I am aware of the least expensive shopping places (walmart, etc ) they have an up to date grocery app with their prices. Others such as Sobeys econo store and Superstore ( Loblaws) have them as well and on occasion have better prices Raisin Bread for example. My income as are many manitobans net of Charity giving so my taxes are nominal .

The cost of living is low and Winnipeggers are good folks, however, it is not a nice city...long harsh winters and lots of crime. Downtown looks like an episode of The Walking Dead (drunk aggressive people and people on meth stumbling around).

I am trying to show the increase in the cost of living from 2015 to 2017 to 2020. Looking for a chart.

I moved back to Winnipeg 20 years later and am having a hard time. Live by myself and it takes almost half of my take home pay to pay my rent... that is almost 50% net and I make 60,000+/ year... we are to have 25-30% .. nothing fancy.. why should I only be able to afford a room? On over $60,000/yr... rent & taxes are draining everyone? Why are they so high when they "oh you make good money".... i would if government would leave me more to work with... can't ever have credit card due to rent is 45% of net pay...
