Nova Scotia NDP criticizes gov't for favoring landlords over affordable housing, citing extended rent cap and eviction incentives.
The Nova Scotia NDP is criticizing the provincial government for favoring landlords over residents in need of affordable housing.

The current legislation extends a five percent rent cap until 2027 but allows rent increases on fixed-term leases, which critics argue incentivizes evictions and exacerbates homelessness.
