Hi guys,

I'm new to the forum. I just wanted to know whether anyone currently lives in Brandon Manitoba please? I'm moving to Brandon in August and just wanted to know whether anyone knows of any landlord for a one bed? Well if not making friends would be great too :-). I'm quite apprehensive as its a big move but also looking forward to a new beginning. Looking forward to hear from you guys. Thank you.

remember Brandon is a rural university town,,,,and on asking my daughter what a friend of her pays $800 a month for 1.5 room flat.

Hiya thank you for your post. $800 is quite reasonable right for Brandon or is the range between $400-$600?

Mauri_Gyal

Hiya 😄. Thank you very much for your post and suggestion, I shall start stalking him 😂😂. Hope life is treating you well in Canada 😊

Hiya . Thank you very much for your reply. Yes this is quite a good website but I've found quite a lot of basement rentals and flats which are unfurnished, really hoping to find a furnished one as it would make our life and settlement much easier. How do you find Winnipeg?

dormy

Furnished apartments are very rare, even in larger cities, and if they are furnished you will be paying a large premium for it, in Winnipeg they are available but tend to start at $2000 per month, whereas unfurnished average round $1000. Not saying its impossible but you may find it a little frustrating.

When I moved over from the UK, I rented a small unfurnished apartment, bought the basic necessities, used, from Kijiji for not a lot of money, and once I was settled and earning started to replace items slowly with new.

Hi Dormy,

Thank you for your reply. Sounds very wise. I have had a look at kijiji already and there are quite a few second hand stuff available so I guess closer to time I'll start contacting people re:furniture. So muuuuuuuch to do arghhhhh lol. 🙃

We have lived about 65 miles from Brandon for the last 4+ years, it's our closest substantial town.
