Masstown farmer launches pumpkins over a kilometre for charity | SaltWireThe New Democratic Party is pushing for legislation to prevent Nova Scotia landlords from introducing no-pet policies as a way to circumvent the provincial rent cap.
“The problem is that these pet evictions are being used by landlords as a strategy to get around the rent cap.”“We find increasingly that people are in situations, where landlords are bringing forth these no-pet policies and there isn’t anywhere to go, people are surrendering their pets and giving up their pets so that they don’t get evicted, they and their families,” Burrill said.
“There are provisions in the legislation that allow a tenant in any unresolved dispute between a tenant and a landlord to contest that change,” he said. “I remind Nova Scotians that any time there is a change in the lease conditions, there is a minimum of four months’ notice required.” “Regardless if it’s two weeks, four weeks, six weeks to get a hearing, if a tenant is served with an eviction notice, the minute that they apply in fact stops the clock until there is a decision made by the tenancy officer.”LeBlanc said he is continually looking at the tenant-landlord dynamic through a balanced lens, recognizing that both their needs differ.
“Now we’ve got to the point where most of the local shelters are full, people that are looking after animals in foster care are no longer available and pet owners are faced with the situation of either turning their pet out on the street or trying to find some other alternative for themselves,” said Chisholm, whose society advocates for pets and their owners and was the group responsible for the 2012 run for mayor of Halifax by Tuxedo Stan, a black and white cat.
