The rules set by landlords must apply equally to all tenants living in the complex and all tenants must receive a copy of the rules before signing a lease. A landlord may choose to change the rules, but he must inform his tenants in writing 4 months before the anniversary of the rental date. This gives the tenant enough time for the lessor to be properly informed that the rental agreement will not be renewed if the tenant has serious problems with the change in the rules. With the exception of prefabricated homes (formerly mobile homes) and land rental municipalities (formerly mobile home parks), there is no rent control in Nova Scotia. The owners set the rental price of their units. Landlords, regardless of the type of residential rental unit, can only increase the rent once every 12 months and are required to inform the tenant in writing 4 months before the lease anniversary. Subcontracts, not contracts, are mentioned in Nova Scotia legislation. Landlords are required to approve the new tenant for subtenants and cannot refuse a subletting application without a valid reason. All rent questions for a sublet must be asked in writing before being authorized. There is a sublease (no more than $75) that can be charged to the tenant if it is stated in the rental agreement. For land rental communities, Access Nova Scotia`s Residential Tenancies Program will publish an annual Allowable Rent Increase Amount (AARIA) each year that landlords must refer to when determining how much to increase a tenant`s rent. The AARIA will be published on March 1 of each year or before March 1 and will apply to all rent increases with a validity date from January 1 to December 31 of next year. Fully concluded rental agreements help answer questions that tenants may have in the event of a dispute between the landlord and tenant.
Landlords can use Form P as a rental agreement that they make available to their tenant for signature. Record the status of a rental unit at the beginning and end of a lease (lease) using the rental unit status report form. Landlords can use Form P as a rental agreement that they make available to their tenant for signature. Form P contains all the applicable conditions in a housing rental agreement, even if another lease or oral agreement is used. Use Form P: Standard Lease Form to see all the applicable terms in each residential tenancy agreement. Landlords can use Form P, another form of rental agreement or an oral agreement, but the terms in the form of P remain valid. Landlords and tenants must sign a declaration of consent if they have an existing rental agreement and wish to give their consent to the service of rental documents on the other party by e-mail.
