Neighbourhood Standards
The City of Winnipeg regulates the maintenance of properties and other aspects of a neighbourhood in order to develop and maintain safe, orderly, viable and sustainable communities and to promote and maintain the health, safety and welfare of residents.
As a tenant in the Fort Richmond and University Heights neighbourhood, you have a responsibility to understand and abide by the Neighbourhood Liveability By-laws regulated by the City of Winnipeg. In Fort Richmond and University Heights, there are five specific by-laws that tenants need to understand and abide to. Fines charged by the City of Winnipeg or Province of Manitoba may result if tenants do not comply with by-laws.
The Fort Richmond – University Heights Neighbourhood Association have simplified these five important by-laws to assist tenants in understanding their responsibility in helping to maintain a safe and healthy community for all residents.
PLEASE KEEP THE NEIGHBOURHOOD CLEAN and SAFE
If you rent a house or room, it is your responsibility to understand and abide by these by-laws. Failure to do so may result in fines or charges by the City of Winnipeg and Province of Manitoba.
If you are a tenant, please read the following information sheets to better understand YOUR responsibilities in the community.

EXTERIOR HOUSE & YARD MAINTENANCE

If you are not clear on your responsibilities, contact your landlord or the Provincial Residential Tenancy Branch
