  "account": "Manitoba's government has announced the expansion of rent control to renters paying up to $2,000 per month. This follows the party's commitment made in March, expanding the existing threshold of $1,670. The new threshold is expected to cover at least 2,000 rental units more. Landlords are only allowed to increase rents by three per cent for rent-control units next year, up from 1.8 per cent this year. Certain exemptions apply, including for rental units less than 20 years old.",
  "summary": "The NDP government proposed its rent control expansion earlier this year. It will now include renters paying up to $2,000 per month.",
