The landlord must give written notice of any rent increase at least: 3 months prior to the termination of the tenancy agreement, with a copy to the director of residential tenancies within 14 days.

• A. 1 month prior to termination.
• B. 6 months prior to termination.
• C. No notice is required.
• D. 3 months prior to the termination of the tenancy agreement, with a copy to the director of residential tenancies within 14 days.

Answer: (D)

Notice timing and regulatory filing are the key ideas here. In Manitoba, a landlord must provide a rent increase notice in writing at least three months before the end of the current tenancy, and a copy of that notice must be sent to the director of residential tenancies within 14 days. This gives tenants time to plan and ensures the regulator has a record of the increase. Shorter notice, like one month, isn’t compliant; a longer period like six months isn’t the standard requirement; and saying no notice is needed is incorrect. So the proper rule is three months’ notice with a copy to the director within 14 days.
