Dalhousie法律援助服务处的一份新报告显示,2025年新斯科舍签署的一半以上租约是定期租约,保护较少,房东可以绕过租金上限。 A new report by the Dalhousie Legal Aid Service reveals that over half of leases in Nova Scotia signed in 2025 were fixed-term, offering fewer protections and allowing landlords to bypass rent caps. 在接受调查的租户中,只有6.2%的人提出了投诉,这表明普遍存在报告不足的情况。 Only 6.2% of surveyed tenants reported complaints, indicating widespread underreporting. 约有139,000户租房家庭受到影响,倡导者说,系统性问题威胁到住房稳定,并呼吁紧急改革,平衡房东和租户之间的权力。 With about 139,000 rental households affected, advocates say systemic issues threaten housing stability and call for urgent reforms to balance power between landlords and tenants.
