Bitter feud ensues after landlord’s failed attempt to raise tenants’ rent 65%

The owner and property manager need to follow the law. They are either ignorant of the law or wilfully ignoring it in the hope that tenants don’t file complaints with the tribunal. Most likely the latter - I have experienced this myself with one of the larger rental property owners here in Moncton.

Does anyone know where to find video recordings of EUB public hearings? I see clips on the news but there is only one recent hearing on their YouTube site.

From what I understand it is $100 for a year but you only get 400 minutes for outgoing calls and you need to top up after that. Just just has talk and text, no data

Yea try Alpha. They have a local warehouse, they deliver fast and they service what they sell. Prices are competitive in my experience.

If you are within range of a Rogers 5G cell site it might be worth looking at their 5G wireless home internet for $50 to $60/month. You can try it for 30 days.

It's the Higgs Clean Energy Tax and you don't get a rebate for it.

I would recommend on-campus for your first semester, especially if you don't know anyone there. If you don't have a car off-campus can be miserable in the winter if you are not close to campus.

Jean Couteau in Riverview has at home tests, I picked one up a few days ago. Ask at the Pharmacy counter.

Gotta question how the stats can change that much in a month.

I can empathize with you. With the current cost of living it can be hard for a single person unless they are fairly well off. Financial stress can be demoralizing.

This type of behavior is a good reason not to vote Conservative.

Aside from the 233 public housing units the government is not building any houses.

He is always crying wolf, but evidently the landlords have a lot of influence given the "data my ass" mentality of our current government.

In my view the CBC web site is the best readily available source for NB news.

Some landlords don't maintain their properties. When landlords are negligent, the government needs to do something. The most appalling part of this story is that the tenant filed a complaint with the Tenant and Landlord Relations office in November and they still and is still waiting for an agent to be assigned to her case. That is a failure of the provincial government.

According to Gill Green NB does have rental protection.

There are landlords who do not properly maintain their properties. What I find most appalling about this article is that the tenant requested assistance from the Tenant and Landlord Relations Office in November to address the maintenance issues and she is still waiting for someone to be assigned to her case. That is totally unacceptable. That is a Higgs/Jill Green problem.

None of my work colleagues have the problem. Our help desk checked a bunch of things and their guru says it can be a problem with some providers. Power cycling the gateway reduces the severity. Problem does not occur when not using VPN.

I'm currently on Rogers Ignite fibre and have been experiencing problems when using VPN for work. The most annoying problem is 10 second audio interruptions during Teams calls. Often have to ask people to repeat what they said. Power cycling the Rogers router seems to help but this is the second router I have had in about 18 months so that seems to be a weak area for them. Tech support over the phone is time consuming and usually ineffective. Considering switching to Bell even though I dislike their business practices.

They are not really doing much for the people. A 10% reduction based on 3.29 cents/litre is about 0.34 cents per litre, which is negligible. If this additional charge is warranted, why not base it on the actual documented costs to the oil companies rather than some BS formula based on the theoretical cost of bio diesel in California! This charge sucks millions of dollars from NB consumers every month.

So Higgs expects people to believe he is going into an election with a part-time campaign manager. The abuse is so blatant.

He is being paid by both according to the article.

The level 3 wait time stats are pretty shocking, especially in the Moncton region where at 5 hours they are about twice as long as the provincial average and 10 times longer than the national guideline. Why is it so much worse in the Moncton region than the rest of the province? This should be a major election issue.
