The Nova Scotia government will introduce legislation today that seeks to tackle the lack of affordable housing in the province

Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press

The plan includes nearly $35-million to build new affordable housing across the province, as well as legislation that would change the Residential Tenancies Act to bolster protections for renters. The plan also includes $10.1-million over two years to provide more supports and shelter for those experiencing homelessness.

The proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act include protections against renovation evictions, including a requirement for written consent to lease termination, increased notice before eviction and automatic compensation for eviction.
