Manitoba Repair Demand — The Residential Tenancies Act s.59
Manitoba stage-1 repair letter. Send this when your landlord is not fixing what they're supposed to fix. The letter cites the Manitoba Residential Tenancies Act (CCSM c.R119) s.59 (landlord's repair duty), the Public Health Act overlay, and signals that you will file Form F3 with the Manitoba RTB if the landlord does not act. The RTB can order specific repairs (not just money), award rent reduction for loss of value, and order reimbursement of out-of-pocket repair costs. Filing at the RTB is FREE for tenants. Plain-language wizard; UPL-safe under LPA CCSM c.L107.

Your tenancy
Let's start with the basics. In Manitoba, your landlord has to keep your home in good repair and safe to live in. That's the rule under section 59 of the Residential Tenancies Act — and the Public Health Act sets the minimum housing standards.

Manitoba The Residential Tenancies Act (CCSM c.R119) ss.59(1), 59(2), 59.1, 62, 66, 92, 55(2), 154, 155, 161, 173; Public Health Act CCSM c.P210 + Dwellings and Buildings Regulation M.R. 322/88 R; Legal Profession Act CCSM c.L107 s.20
Your letter cites s.59 (the repair covenant), signals a Form F3 application to the Manitoba RTB for a specific-performance repair order under s.154 plus rent abatement and out-of-pocket reimbursement, and notes the parallel Public Health Act track.
Before you start
What exactly do I get, and when?
A personalized PDF letter, written around the statute that applies to your situation, with the deadline and the consequence spelled out. It downloads the moment payment confirms, back here on commoner-law.com — there is no waiting period and no account to create. You can also add certified mail at checkout and we will send the physical letter for you.
How much is it?
$19, once. Not a subscription, and nothing is charged until you complete payment on Stripe at the end of the wizard. Any add-ons you select show their own price before you pay.
Is this legal advice?
This is a self-help template, not legal advice. Using this template does not create a solicitor-client relationship. The Legal Profession Act (CCSM c.L107) permits self-representation in Manitoba RTB / RTC proceedings; the RTB is designed for tenants to file themselves. For free support: RTB info lines, Community Unemployed Help Centre, Legal Help Centre Winnipeg, Public Interest Law Centre, Community Legal Education Association. Manitoba does NOT permit unilateral repair-and-deduct — keep paying rent and ask the RTB for reimbursement.
What if I need to change something afterwards?
Tell us and we will either adjust the letter and send you the updated version at no cost, or refund you in full — your choice. If we can’t deliver what you paid for, the refund is automatic. Full terms are on our promise page.
Do I have to pay to know if I have a case?
No. The rights encyclopedia on this site is free and cites the same primary sources the letter does. Read the relevant guide first — plenty of situations are resolved by a phone call to a free statutory body, and where one exists we say so.
