Most people don’t qualify for rent supplements. He’s just spewing words, no solutions

The plan is working exactly like they designed it. To rip off Nova Scotians while the politicians and their cronies get rich.

born and raised here. I can't afford to live here anymore. I'm moving asap, me and my 2 teenage children are leaving and never coming back. there is nothing here for me, let alone them. thanks for all you're doing, but costs have only gotten worse over the last 5 years. I can't keep waiting for things to "turn around"

The prices are INSANE. How can a single person afford to spend $1,800-2,000 on just rent?! The apartments available are new builds that are expensive with terrible layouts.

The poorest province yet most expensive! I work in non-profit with those who are unhoused and struggling, which is a HUGE understatement. No housing, and police raiding the few tent shelters they are able to create. Seems counterintuitive...

I also think NS needs to get a recall law for our government/Premier, so the ppl can actually have a say and don't have to wait til the next election.

supply doesn't matter if the prices are too high for most tenants. unregulating rent caps is not going to make this issue any better. How many in this cabinet are landlords or best buds with one?

can we stop wasting time talking about it and do something about it. feels like all government officials get paid to talk and not make a decision. love being used to pay wages for government to talk. how about the people who are on disability who have worked there hole life and can no longer work are expected to live off 1200 a month, with the price of rent and food and everything else.

HRM the most expensive and Halifax water had two price increases this year and NS Power increased. an apartment I rented 6yrs ago went from 1000$ a month to almost 3000$ no upgrades.

They need to force prices back to 2020 prices when everything went crazy. Then make landlords prove the upgrades they’ve done to justify increasing the rent x amount. If they can’t they cannot raise the rent. If they have then allow a 3-6%, not year over year but on a renovation and upgrade basis. This would not affect new builders, but the apartments that don’t “deserve” the 2k+/month price tag would open the market. Or just tax landlords until they sell and don’t let REIT’s buy them up, create actual affordable housing.

Thank you Claudia! I also know that home ownership is a privilege, and not the currently priority, but it is hard for people who are middle class to continue to move into home ownership too. For $650,000, houses an hour within Halifax tend to be mostly bungalows or dated, ugly, etc. While many people can live in bungalows for a long time, it is hard to raise families in them when you have people working from home. It is hard to afford more. If people are buying these as investment properties, no duh rent continues to skyrocket.

My rent just went up again in June and my landlord does nothing. He is what we call a slumlord. All of the laws protect them, not us. Eventually, we will be priced out on the streets. 😢 5% each year is too much to go up for rent especially without improving accommodations

I have been forced to move to Alberta to live in staff residence at a hotel because of this ongoing problem. This is the reality. I'm forced to be on the opposite side of the country from my family, friends and home because life there just isn't possible. It's beyond frustrating and depressing.

Here is Spring Garden and Robie Street where a new building is going to be built. Another building approved with high outrageous rents. Plus look at the picture, this is how ridiculous the control of the developer has. The power that the developer has, the developer got approved from the HRM planning department to take the whole side walk, that is used for Halifax citizen. to use for parking. Here is the other horrible concept to this approval of this building. The amount of Halifax's Historical Houses being removed from History to feed the greed and poor planning department of Halifax for low rental. OK, Att: Here is a small plan, Bloomfield School, Saint Pat's High school and Saint Joseph elementary school on Brunswick. Buildings owned by the Province and the Church !! These 3 very large Historical buildings could have been Retrofitted to become low rental units. Not to tear down or Demolished for a new expensive apartment building. Yes renovate the building, with zero Excuses. Stop making up excuses to get a building Demolished for a Developer. Now look to renovate and Retrofit. Take the building, design with a small inexpensive design company. To figure out how many 1 bedroom apartment can be put in the existing school structure. yes Bloomfield, which has been Demolished !!! Saint Joseph was just Demolished 2 months ago on Brunswick Street. I beleave there could be 60 to 90 1 bedroom apartments in each building. Each apartment renovating cost should run around $70,000.00 per unit and service debt on a $70,000.00 reno wil be around $450.000 per month per 1 bedroom apartment. Does this sound affordable for Canadians born citizens to pay. I strongly beleave it does. The developer comment that this is a ridiculous plan. Why is it ridiculous to them, because it doesn't pay for a Landrover vehicle payment for the wife !! ha ha funny but true. Here is the truth on the expense to build a new building, for a brand new massive building that changes the landscape of our historical city of Halifax. it cost the developer $500,000.00 to build a 1 bedroom apartment, yes that is the true cost. So the developer needs to charge $2200.00 to $2400.00 per month to service debt
