Small landlords and all residential tenants in Manitoba can now apply for a provincial rebate on security equipment purchased since September 2, 2023. Funds for the one-time rebate will be dispersed on a first-come, first-served basis to applicants who submit proof of purchase, installation and Manitoba residency.

“Our government committed to this rebate during the election and we’re excited to roll it out to help lower the cost of cameras, lights and other security measures for homes and small businesses,” says Matt Wiebe, Manitoba’s Justice Minister.

Recipients are eligible for a maximum of $300 for security improvements at a single address they own or occupy. However, it can be put toward more than one measure up to the allowable threshold. Eligible security equipment includes: security cameras; alarm systems; motion detectors; reinforced doors or windows; anti-graffiti film and paint; security gates; pull-down protection shutters; and permanent security fencing.
