Resources for Landlords, Property Owners/Managers

Tenant-Landlord Cooperation (TLC):   

The North End Community Renewal Corporation (NECRC) has established the North End Tenant-Landlord Cooperation (TLC) program. This program can provide mediation services to resolve problems between the landlord and tenant in an effort to avoid simply evicting the tenant, and to improve the working relationship between them.

Through the delivery of workshops for tenants and landlords, one-on-one advocacy, and increased access to exterior fix-up grants, the program can help landlords deal with many rental issues.

The program can help increase demand for the properties of participating landlords by providing community recognition for their commitment to providing quality rental housing in the area.     View TLC Certification forms

TLC Landlords receive priority access to Exterior/Interior Fix-up grants!

Please contact TLC Coordinator, Darrell Stavem, for more information on how the TLC program can benefit you.

Dealing with Inappropriate or Criminal Activity at Your Rental Property           

We would like to make you aware of a new option available to you as a landlord who may have tenants involved in illegal activities at your rental property.

We have spoken to landlords who say they have had difficulty in past, dealing with problem tenants concerning illegal activities taking place at their rental properties. In some cases neither the Residential Tenancies Branch nor the police were able to assist them.

Landlords (and any residents of the community) can anonymously report any criminal or suspicious activity going on in a house or building in the area.  The report goes to the Public Safety Investigations branch of Manitoba Justice, which works through the Safer Communities and Neighbourhoods Act (SCNA). This Act is a civil law which holds the  property owner responsible for activities happening on their property. There may or may not be police involvement, depending on the situation.  

The investigators will set up surveillance and monitor the activities at the house and then go to the property owner with their findings. The property owner will be expected to be responsible for the activities going on in his house and most often will be required to evict the problem tenants. A letter from Manitoba Justice will facilitate this process, which should protect the landlord from any repercussions from the tenant, as the landlord has no choice in the matter.

The SCNA initiative has been very successful in its efforts on behalf of our community and others. You can call the Investigations Unit at 945-3475, anonymously. Within Point Douglas, contact Power Line anonymously or call them at 956-4090.
