If you are considering selling, transferring or adding a name to a commercial lease or permit, you will be required to submit an assignment application form. Prior to engaging the assignment process, it is recommended that you submit a Search Request form to Manitoba Parks. Search results will provide information for the lease or permit, including the annual fees, outstanding work orders, collateral recordings, specific operational and maintenance provisions applicable to the lease or permit, etc.
Search Requests
Lawyers, Relators and Financial Institutions may act on behalf of a lessee or permittee and may submit a Search Request Form for the following reasons:
- Commercial Lease or Permit Status Update
- Purpose of/for Sale Agreement
- Collateral Recording Status/Update
- Inquires for Building Liens
All realtors representing the Lessee must provide a copy of the Realtor Sales Agreement.
Requestors that are not representing the lessee or permittee will only be provided search results if they are a legal representative of a purchaser or collateral holder.
Once processed, search results will be provided in the following format: Search Results Sample
