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 1: Moncton/South-East Area 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: 

Monday, July 25th @ 6:30pm – 90 Minute Virtual Meeting, English 

Wednesday, July 27th @ 6:30pm -  90 Minute Virtual Meeting, French

How: To arrange participation please email nbtenants@unb.ca. You can choose the time that works best for you. If you have privacy concerns and would prefer to do an interview, please indicate this when you email. Interviews can be facilitated in English or French, please indicate your preference when contacting our team to make an arrangement.  The research team will ask about accommodation/access needs. Cameras are optional during virtual focus groups.

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.
