The landlord of a Halifax rooming house sent a notice to tenants of the 29-unit building saying they would have to vacate by Sept. 1.
Harris Romkey is one of the tenants of a Halifax rooming house who have been told to vacate their units by Sept. 1.After 26 years of living in the same Halifax rooming house, Harris Romkey says the thought of having to move in this current rental market is “terrifying.”
Those who did sign a fixed-term lease were told they wouldn’t have their leases renewed beyond Sept. 1. “Then took that back and said that they were only going to raise it for tenants on social assistance, which is discrimination. Now, a couple years later, trying to get vacancy for the building. It throws in questions about why these renovations are being done now,” said Blum.
“We were told that the only way we can get support is to be a charity, and that a charity would only want to support if the building was empty.”
