Nova Scotia Proposes Two-Year Extension to Five-Per-Cent Rent Cap Until 2027

  • Nova Scotia plans to extend its five percent rent-cap until the end of 2027 to balance tenant protection with rising landlord costs, without adding an enforcement unit for tenancy rules.
  • Opposition parties criticized the cap's effectiveness and the absence of stricter measures against fixed-term lease loopholes.
  • Proposed changes include faster eviction-processes for unpaid rent and clearer grounds for terminating tenancies.
