RE: Housing Crisis, Halifax

The new Prime Minister is on representing King Charles upcoming visit to Canada…

The United States is there pretending Ottawa’s not just a tabloid show in the United States now for King Charles.

Remember, I am UK Cruise ship route New Zealand to Old Nova Scotia….

That’s swimming and tanning at the beach, so no housing crisis out here.

Not like in Ottawa, with the big work force.

They mean if you’re not paying.

At the cottage, at the beach….no outage there….Home Depot no outage there.

Nova Scotia recently passed housing laws that make my lease even stronger.

That had to be repesented to Halifax civil workers on my legal bill so they could evaluate condensation.

By paying cash or ahead everything was covered.

Just remember, the Fire Department used my private lawer time for their evaluation and I had to pay the bill…

On my private apartment lease.

Then all work on my apartment was covered by Home Depot.

I’m just saying, it’s more money than you think to run a city apartment…plus time for emergency fire alarm inspections and private condensation repair hours.

Then going forward the whole area knows about all your tanning stuff at your new renovated apartment from Home Depot.

HALIFAX: Housing Crisis, Local Cases Publically Exposed

So I got yet another housing notice now, when I was down there I heard all about this big court case here in HRM about the housing crisis.

Right in public.

It started in Feb – March during the big ice storm and then more ice and rain for six weeks.

My area was covered in ice, so I went to Home Depot and bought a new interior for my apartment.

Everything’s covered….

Then during that the Halifax Fire Department came here twice!

They said there was condensation in the alarm system.

Now I’m busy finishing that with a dehumidifer they gave out.

Court itself was a seperate issuse, but was still cleared because my repairs were from Home Depot.

During all that building maintainence tried to do estimates on unfinished work from the Fire Department…they already said no access because of fire alarm repairs.

Then building maintainence tried to get in and do estimates BEFORE the Fire Marshall said the condensation was dry.

Those are the other cases, my repairs were cleared because of Home Depot and I had to represent my unit to the Fire Department under my legal fees!

HALIFAX: Housing Crisis Deepens, Many Unaffected

I’ll jump straight to the point…

I’m unaffected from the housing crisis because I’m paying.

If you pay ahead or pay cash you’re unaffected during the housing crisis.

Unit repairs on a long term lease under Nova Scotia recent legislature show that paying ahead get’s you out of the housing crisis.

I pay cash at Home Depot for a new apartment interior that’s out of the housing crisis.

Now my long term lease is maintained under Home Depot repairs.

That is because the management office for the bank closed, then leaseses had to be verified.

Now, because my unit is in better shape than the hallway areas and fire alarm I had to represent that out of my legal bill.

The Halifax Fire department told me condensation in the alarm, now my new renovated unit had to be dehumidified.

Flat floors, etc, my Home Depot restored apartment is way better to deal with.

Like for the Fire Department and the lawyers to stand at in the building.

Meanwhile the rest of the building is in disrepair with damage to the fire alarm system from condensation.

There you have it…

The building falls off the leases and repairs then Home Depot clients had to put it on their lawyer bills for the Fire Department to fix the building.

Like I say, they probaby required 24 hour service and didn’t have it covered.

The building had no insurance and mine was covered from Home Depot.

Diary Update, Beach Etc.,

I mean I try to get to the beach earlier….the first group is Spring Break.

Just remember, when schools all done home responsibilities take priorities over beach arrival time.

Canada, in recent years has been hit by a cyclone, bad storms etc., reminder ice road in Alaska is where everyone is moving.

All Nova Scotia gets is new “no winter maintainence” signs.

My only point is housing etc., here has become expensive with repairs.

Buildings have lost upkeep with Fire Department while tenant leases have surpassed building maintainence.

Leaving tenants to have to cover legal bills on lease to have access to fire alarm system repair.

Now you pay at your apartment, Home Depot repairs, that’s bigger than your building maintainence so the Fire Department uses that….on your lawyer time.

Unfortunately, that’s the price of expensive apartment City upkeep people.

Water / condensation issues.

Tenants not covered could void their lease if they abandon repairs.

Now you need a locked in lease, plus legal representation for your apartment for Fire Marshall access, for condensation repair etc., from ice damage.
