Your tenancy
Tell us the basics. CRITICAL Manitoba rule: the 14-day clock under RTA s.32(1) runs from the END OF TENANCY — not from any forwarding-address date (Manitoba differs from BC here). If landlord wants to claim against the deposit, they have 28 days to send written itemized notice (s.32(2)).
This letter will cite
Manitoba The Residential Tenancies Act (CCSM c.R119) ss.29, 29.1, 30, 31, 32(1)-(6), 39, 154, 157, 161, 173; Legal Profession Act CCSM c.L107
Your letter cites s.32(1) (14-day return from end of tenancy), s.32(2) (28-day landlord-claim notice), and signals a FREE application to the Director under s.32(3) using Form F2 at the RTB.
Under s.32(1), the 14-day clock runs from THIS date — not from any forwarding-address date.
Under s.29, the security deposit may not exceed HALF of the first month's rent.
Under s.29.1, the pet damage deposit is capped at ONE month's rent (Manitoba differs from BC here — pet deposit is separate AND uncapped at half-month). Total max combined deposits = 1.5 months.
