Are you a tenant in NB and at least 19 years old? The New Brunswick Coalition for Tenants Rights is asking tenants in NB in Health Zone 2 (Saint John/Fundy Shore) to participate in an online focus group about experiences renting in the province.
You will be provided with $25 as a thank you for participating.
When: Tuesday, June 14th @ 6:30pm – 90 Minute Virtual Meeting, English OR Saturday, June 18th @ 11:00am – 90 Minute Virtual Meeting, English
How: To arrange participation please email nbtenants@unb.ca. You can choose whichever time works best for you. Cameras are optional during virtual focus groups. If you have privacy concerns and would prefer to do an interview, please indicate when you email. The research team will ask about accommodation/access needs.
Why: The provincial government has said there is no rental crisis in the province, but rising rents and renovictions suggest otherwise. We want to hear from you about your experiences renting in the province. Focus group data will be used to create publicly available infographics, reports, and other materials that will provide a robust snapshot of the challenges facing tenants in the province. Your name will never be used in any of these materials.
Principal Investigators: Dr. Kristi Allain and Dr. Tobin LeBlanc Haley.
