HALIFAX — The Nova Scotia government is changing the rules for those who pay a fixed amount of rent for public housing , a move the government says is aimed at achieving fairness and consistency.

Lohr says the rent-geared-to-income model, used by public housing agencies across the country, ensures that tenants pay no more than 30 per cent of their household income on rent. Government officials confirmed the province is expected to collect an additional $400,000 in rent, but that amount will be offset by the additional $3 million spent on covering heating expenses for those who move to the rent-geared-to-income model.

But CNN’s Fred Pleitgen reports, the Ukrainians now say they are back on the offensive.
