The Residential Tenancies Branch has issued orders locking out the owner of the building at 285 College Ave.
"Today, investigators with the RTB served the landlord with notice of the violations that he's committed," a provincial spokesperson told CBC News Friday afternoon.
The province also said in a news release Friday afternoon "several orders" have been issued to the landlord by RTB.
Last Weekend, tenants were given cash and told to immediately vacate after a notice saying the building was shut down was posted at the front entrance.
Marion Willis, executive director of the outreach organization St. Boniface Street Links, said RTB is changing the locks and keys.
The provincial spokesperson said Winnipeg police were going to be at the complex until 5 p.m., but the province was working to get that timeframe extended.
