FOG BLOG RIDICULOG: RENTAL TENANTS IN NB ARE WONDERING..WHAT MR. HIGGS IS WAITING FOR:

THE TENANTS RENTING IN NEW BRUNSWICK ARE WONDERING WHY MR. HIGGS HAS PUT RENT REFORMS ON THE BACK BURNER! RENTS ARE GOING UP 100 TO 200 % PER YEAR. THERE ARE NO PROTECTIONS FOR THE TENANTS , THE TENANCY ACT OF NB FAILS EVERYONE RENTING IN THIS PROVINCE. WHEN THE REPORT CAME IN , THE PREMIER WAS SHOCKED AND DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY BUT DID SAY THAT HE WOULD DO SOMETHING BECAUSE IT WAS SAD ! FROM THEN THE PEOPLE REALLY AFFECTED HAVE BEEN WAITING. SOME HAVE HAD TO BE EVICTED BECAUSE A BUILDING HAD TO BE RENOVATED OR BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T PAY AN EVER INCREASING RENT. OTHERS HAVE MOVED IN WITH FAMILY IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY. WHATEVER THE CASE IS , ONE PERSON SAID IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR,......HOUSING IS A RIGHT NOT A PRIVILEGE. OUR PREMIER BLAINE HIGGS NEEDS TO JUMP INTO ACTION AND MAKE THESE CHANGES OR HE WILL FIND A BALOONING PROBLEM ONLY TO GET WORSE!
