Nova Scotia Eviction Ban & Tenancy Board

I don't know what everyone else is doing but I'm having bad sports withdraw with no baseball or hockey on...boring...it is so quit around here and relaxed in Halifax you can't even believe it where I live anyway.

So it must be a nice relief  for people around here not to have to worry about paying their rent for a while, I mean the tenancy board for rent collection would be closed so they can't ask you for rent money.

No one is allowed asking for your rent money or payment arrangements because the court collection office is closed for rent collection until the virus is gone I am assuming!

What the eviction ban means is that you are allowed accumulating a rent balance, someone asked me how long...I would assume until the virus is gone and everyone is safe.

The government is not going to risk anything until the virus is totally gone. 

So no one can send you notices or ask you for rent payments or payment arrangements during the eviction ban, that means the government is allowing you to accumulate a balance.

When that is over then the government will have to figure out how it's supposed to be paid off, I would say pay it if you have it but then later if you didn't have to there should be a rebate or something if you paid and didn't need to.

If you had to take unemployment benefits because you are off work during the shutdown I would say to save that money and not pay your rent, then use your unemployment benefits for other stuff then they can't evict for not paying rent.

Then you will have extra money during the shut down because you don't have to pay rent if you're on unemployment and you want that money for extra food or whatever, then let the balance accumulate until after the virus is gone then ask the government what they're going to do about it because it is their policy.

Don't talk to anyone about you rent arrangements during the ban, that is a scam! Tell your landlord they will have to contact the government for the debt relief in the meantime at their house during the ban, don't pay rent if something else comes up that you think is more important...that is my opinion.
