Statement in support of ACORN NB Action in Saint John

Statement from NB Coalition for Tenants Rights in support of ACORN NB Action in Saint John

March 11, 2021

It's been 28 days since the Provincial Government announced their 90 day rental review. In that time, tenants have continued to face rent increases, and evictions into the pandemic continue to be allowed.

Still, the NB Coalition for Tenants Rights and ACORN NB have received no invitation to be a part of that review.

Tenants in Saint John are among those that have experienced rent hikes, evictions, and other predatory behaviour by landlords. This action is proof that tenants will not stand by while the government ignores them.

The NB Coalition for Tenants Rights stands with ACORN NB in asking the question: When will the government stop delaying action and listen to tenants?

The time to act is now, and not in 90 days.
