When planning your move to Manitoba you may want to sign a lease to rent a house or apartment before arrival. We do NOT recommend this. It would put yourself at risk because you might not like the place once you arrive and then you would be stuck in a one year lease! Also, there are instances of rental scams – where you send money before seeing the actual apartment and then upon arrival, you find out that apartment never existed or it was listed by someone that wasn’t the actual landlord. 

We recommend checking in to temporary accommodations for a few weeks when you arrive, and then do your own housing search in person. We would be glad to help you in your housing search.

Below are our suggestions for temporary accommodations.
