On Mon 21st, #NSACORN is hosting a forum at the Halifax Central Library, 6pm, to push for proper enforcement of tenant protections. Right now repairs go indefinitely delayed, pests are given a quick spray with zero follow up, and HRM lacks the capacity to chase up almost any of it. #HaliSky
Poster for the "Fix Our Rentals Forum" hosted by ACORN. Location: Halifax Central Library, Lindsay Children's Room. Date: 21 September 2026. Time: 6pm.

Policy demands:
- Strengthen HRM's Building Standards by-laws to cover mould, amenities, and clear pest control protocols.
- Increase inspections and enforcement by hiring more inspectors to proactively inspect buildings.
- Make building conditions public through a color-coded grading system like Toronto's RentSafe program.
- Expand tenant education so renters know how to report through 311
- Fund a stronger program through a small annual per-unit fee paid by landlords.

The average residential tax bill would need to go up by $900/year to break even on existing costs in D14. We're doing a $1.7m transit pilot for an area with a ~$3m tax base. Rates need to go up, services be cut, or the tax base needs to grow for this to be sustainable.
