We lost our first tenancy hearing this week.The new officer didn't know what a fixed term lease was.Not usual for Nova Scotia. Rob didn't want to argue this time,cause we know we will have another hearing eventually. I said if she rules against us next time we appeal, cause we were right.
Tenants had a 2 month fixed term lease.Decided to leave after 1 month.Gave us written permission to find new tenants to mitigate their their finacial responsibility for the second month.They also never paid for the second month.
The new tenants moved in after their lease expired.
Tenancy officer said they don't need to pay for the apartment after they moved out, even though they only gave 3 weeks notice.So we have to return their bond that we had used towards their unpaid rent and we can't collect the remainder. We are are out $680.
Honestly, why do landlords have to follow any rules? The properties belong to us, why can't we enforce them as we see fit. If tenants don't like it, MOVE!!!
I understand the general rules such as a lease would include, but that is because it is a contract
When a tenant breaks a landlord property rule or failure to pay, why must we get permission from a third party to evict?
I think landlords are more like surrogate parents to tenants.
