Average Rent in Winnipeg

Winnipeg's average rent across all purpose-built apartment types was $1,404 a month as of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation's (CMHC) October 2025 Rental Market Survey, with a purpose-built vacancy rate of 2.8%. By unit size, CMHC put the average one-bedroom at $1,232 and two-bedroom at $1,570 for the same survey. That's well below the national average asking rent of $2,037 reported by Rentals.ca and Urbanation for July 2026, making Winnipeg one of the more affordable major rental markets in Canada.

Unlike Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, or Montreal, the Rentals.ca and Urbanation National Rent Report does not publish a separate Winnipeg all-types city average in its monthly editions. Rather than estimate one, this page leads with CMHC's authoritative in-place average from its October 2025 Rental Market Survey -- the most current verifiable citywide figure available. CMHC surveys the existing purpose-built rental stock once each October, so it reflects what current tenants actually pay across the market, including long-tenured tenancies protected by Manitoba's 2026 rent-increase guideline of 1.8%.

• Studio: $914/month
• 1-bedroom: $1,232/month
• 2-bedroom: $1,570/month
• 3-bedroom or more: $1,849/month
• All apartments: $1,404/month

These are CMHC's in-place averages across the existing purpose-built rental stock, not new-listing asking prices, since no verifiable Winnipeg-specific asking-rent breakdown by bedroom count exists as of this writing.
