The government is in denial while tenants across the province are subjected to outrageous rent increases and evictions during a pandemic.
Tenants in Moncton have faced unprecedented rent increases and predatory behaviour by landlords. Today's action in Moncton shows that tenants will not stand by while the government ignores their concerns.
The Premier announced a 90-day review on the situation facing tenants during the State of the Province address earlier this month. More than two weeks have passed since that announcement. Neither ACORN NB nor the NB Coalition for Tenants Rights have received any invitation from the government to participate in this review.
We remain concerned that the government is dragging their feet instead of taking action. Tenants need emergency measures immediately, not in 90 days.
Will the government listen to tenants or only to the landlord lobby?
