Q&A: Bylaws can protect tenants from some renovictions. Can Halifax enact its own? - News Summed Up

Q&A: Bylaws can protect tenants from some renovictions. Can Halifax enact its own?


Sydnee Blum of Dalhousie Legal Aid says the bylaw introduced this year to protect Hamilton tenants from renovictions ordered in bad faith has been working 'exceptionally well.' Dalhousie Legal Aid says the Halifax Regional Municipality should consider doing the same to protect tenants from loopholes in Nova Scotia's Residential Tenancies Act that it says landlords often exploit. What does the Nova Scotia Residential Tenancies Act currently say about renovictions and when they're even allowed? And so tell me about the new renovation bylaws that were introduced in Hamilton and other Ontario cities, and how do they work? And something that's really key is what we call the right of first refusal.
