Higher rents likely, Manitoba landlords warn after province removes education property tax rebates (www.cbc.ca)

Some Manitoba landlords say they'll have no choice but to raise rents, after the provincial government promised tax relief for at least some rental property owners under its overhaul of the education property tax system but failed to deliver.

This is the first year in which the NDP government is providing homeowners with a credit, valued at up to $1,500, on their school taxes.

Under the former Progressive Conservative government, the province instead offered a 50 per cent rebate on school taxes, but all residential property owners were eligible — not just homeowners.

"It always seems like the landlords and rental property owners are left behind, and yet we are housing providers," said Wong.

Uh huh.

If they have the money to own more rental property than their primary residence, I do not feel sorry for them at all.
