Let’s look now at the current rental costs and overarching trends in Winnipeg for August 2026. Curious how Winnipeg compares with other major Canadian markets? Take a look at our latest Metro Vancouver and Toronto rent reports.

Average rent across Winnipeg

This month, the average asking rent for an unfurnished one-bedroom unit in Winnipeg decreased 1.16% from July, a drop of $15, settling at $1,338 per month. That marks the first month-over-month decline since April, breaking a run of increases that carried the citywide average from $1,304 in April to $1,353 in July. Even after this month’s pullback, Winnipeg’s average one-bedroom rent remains above where it started the spring.

Manitoba’s annual rent increase guideline for 2026 is set at 1.8%, calculated from the province’s Consumer Price Index and applying to most residential rental units. Landlords planning an increase should confirm their unit isn’t exempt, since units renting at $1,670 or more per month and buildings first occupied after March 2005 fall outside the guideline, and should provide tenants at least three months’ written notice before the increase takes effect.

Month-to-month rent change

Among unfurnished one-bedroom units, South Winnipeg recorded the largest decrease at 2.45%, followed by North End at 1.72% and Winnipeg Downtown at 1.63%. St. Boniface was the only neighbourhood to see an increase, up 1.37% from July.

Two-bedroom units softened across every neighbourhood this month, led by a 6.23% decline in North End. Three-bedroom units were more mixed: St. Boniface posted the largest increase at 7.60%, while Winnipeg Downtown recorded the largest decrease at 5.99%.

Winnipeg unfurnished vs. furnished rent averages

The citywide average asking rent for an unfurnished one-bedroom in Winnipeg decreased 1.16% this month to $1,338. Citywide furnished one-bedroom data was not available in August, but neighbourhood-level furnished figures tell an interesting story where they do exist.

Furnished units don’t always carry the premium renters might expect. In Winnipeg Downtown, a furnished one-bedroom asks $1,606 this month, about 20% more than the $1,334 unfurnished average there, in line with the usual pattern. But in North End and South Winnipeg, furnished one-bedrooms are actually asking less than unfurnished units in the same area: $906 versus $1,316 in North End, and $863 versus $1,369 in South Winnipeg. Renters open to a furnished unit in either neighbourhood may find it’s the better deal this month.

• One-bedroom rents are going up in most areas
  • From December to February, unfurnished one-bedroom rents increased in much of Winnipeg. Downtown rose from $1,269/month in Dec 2025 to $1,292/month in Feb 2026 (+1.8%). The North End went from $1,255/month to $1,368/month (+9%). East Winnipeg saw the biggest jump, up 11% from $1,184/month to $1,318/month, showing stronger demand for smaller units.
    
• Two-bedroom rents stabilize after a January dip
  • Unfurnished two-bedroom rents dipped in January but rebounded slightly in February across several areas. South Winnipeg recovered to $1,726/month in Feb. West Winnipeg followed a similar pattern, ending February at $1,636/month, roughly flat versus December. This suggests the mid-winter softening was temporary rather than a sustained drop.
    
• Three-bedroom rents remain uneven, with affordability gaps widening
  • Larger-unit pricing continues to vary sharply by neighborhood. In February, unfurnished three-bedroom rents ranged from $1,969/month in West Winnipeg to $2,094/month in South Winnipeg. The North End saw the biggest short-term increase, rising from $1,853/month in January to $2,000/month in February (+8%).
