N.S. Minister Colton LeBlanc speaks during a news conference at Province House in a photo dated Wednesday, March 22, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Lyndsay Armstrong CANADAHALIFAX news N.S. reveals strategy to resolve disputes between landlords, tenants quicker by admin 18 يوليو، 2024 written by admin 18 يوليو، 2024 57 By CityNews Halifax Staff A new online service from the Nova Scotia government aims to make it easier for tenants and landlords to deal with claims on security deposits. In a release from the province, Colton LeBlanc, Minister of Service Nova Scotia, said the changes aim to make it simpler for both tenants and landlords to deal with a security deposit at the end of a tenancy and speed up the process overall. “As an advocate for lower-income tenants, I welcome the change to a simpler and faster process to address security deposits,” Tammy Wohler, a managing lawyer with Nova Scotia Legal Aid, said in the release. Currently, tenants use the same generic form as landlords when a security deposit is in dispute with applications requiring a hearing to reach a resolution. As of Aug. 1, landlords and tenants will have their own online forms, which the province said will allow for resolutions without a hearing. Tenants can apply when they have not received their security deposit or if they disagree with the landlord’s request to keep any portion of the security deposit. “Unfortunately, there are some landlords who simply retain security deposits as a matter of routine. Providing an accessible path to a quick resolution will ensure greater accountability for both landlords and tenants,” Wohler said. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Steep decline in Atlantic Canada fish possible from GHG emissions: Researchers next post Police in Halifax warning people of an ongoing scam involving bail money You may also like كيبيك: وقف مساعدة التوظيف عن العمال الأجانب المؤقتين 30 يناير، 2025 Man charged with attempted murder after 4 workers... 30 يناير، 2025 New program aims to make blueberry, apple producers... 30 يناير، 2025 recovered (28bodies) from D.C. mid-air plane and helicopter... 30 يناير، 2025 N.S’ largest ever increase to the minimum wage... 30 يناير، 2025 ترامب قد يفرض على كندا رسوماً جمركية على... 30 يناير، 2025 المؤبَّد لقاتل مشتبه به في تفجير رحلة الخطوط... 30 يناير، 2025 بنك كندا يخفّض الفائدة الأساسية ربع نقطة مئوية... 30 يناير، 2025 البيت الأبيض يؤكد أنّ الرسوم في موعدها وسينغ... 30 يناير، 2025 injured 3 employees by patient after weapons call... 30 يناير، 2025
