If There are Problems
If you have a problem with your landlord, do your research first. Read the RTA and Regulations, visit our website, or call our Contact Centre. Find out your rights and responsibilities, as well as your landlord's.
Put your complaint in writing and deliver it to the landlord. Follow up in person or by telephone. Many times landlords and tenants are able to work out issues on their own.
If you can't figure things out, you can make an Application to Director for mediation or for a hearing.
You should consider:
- Have you made every effort to resolve the problem yourselves?
- Is it really a landlord/tenant problem?
- Do you have enough evidence to back up your complaint?
- If you are seeking payment of money, and if you are awarded money, do you have a reasonable chance of collecting from the landlord?
- Can you find the landlord to serve papers?
To file an application to Director:
Find the form online (see "Downloadable Forms") or get a copy from your nearest Nova Scotia Access Centre.
Complete all parts of the form. If you have questions call the Contact Centre at 902-424-5200 or 1-800-670-4357.
You must bring the form in person to an Nova Scotia Access Centre. There is a $31.15 filing fee.
If you are unable to pay the application fee, you may be able to have the fee waived. Please see our fee waiver process below.
You can also request in your application that you would like to have the application fee awarded to you as part of the decision. If the application fee is awarded, it will be paid by the respondent. No other costs associated with the application may be awarded.
To file an application you will need:
- Your landlord's name and address.
- A copy of the lease, if there is one, and copies of any other documents that have relate to the complaint. Make three copies of all documents.
- The amount of rent for the unit and the amount of the security deposit, if you paid one.
- Dates for when the tenancy started, ended, or will end.
- Details concerning whether you received a copy of the lease and a copy of the RTA.
- Details concerning whether a Notice to Quit was given to you or to your landlord, and if so, when and how.
- If you are filing for repairs, details concerning the repairs that are needed.
IMPORTANT: If you believe your landlord has given you Notice to Quit because you have taken action to secure or enforce rights under the Residential Tenancies Act, make an application to the director asking that the notice be set aside.
When you bring your completed application to the Nova Scotia Access Centre, a staff member will review the form to make sure it has been completed correctly and that all the necessary information and documents are attached. The staff member will assign a file number, the name of the contact person in the office, and a hearing date. They will prepare papers for you (the applicant) and for your landlord (the respondent). You must serve the completed papers on your landlord. The papers can be delivered by registered mail or served personally.
Fee Waiver Process
If you receive the Guaranteed Income Supplement, Income Assistance, or Family Benefits, you may fill out an application to request to have your Application to Director fee waived. If you do not receive any of those benefits, you may still be able to have your fee waived. For more information on the fee waiver process, click here.
Personal Service
Personal service can be done by the applicant or the applicant can get someone (friend, relative or someone else) to do the service.
Whoever does the personal service must complete the affidavit of service form, swearing that personal service was done. The form (Affidavit of Service) shows the name of the person who served the document, place, date and time of service. The form must be signed in the presence of a Commissioner of Oaths (there is usually one available at Nova Scotia Access Centre).
Registered Mail
This is done through the post office. When you are sending the application by mail, you must get a tracking card that shows the respondent has signed for it. The person being sent the application is the only one who can sign for the registered mail. You should make the post office aware that you require a signature card and advise them who must sign it. Proof of service is required for the hearing to proceed. After you get notice the respondent has signed for the mail, come back to the Nova Scotia Access Centre to sign an Affidavit of Service.
It is important that you take time to read the application carefully. It contains information relating to the problem and what the other party is seeking.
An information sheet that explains the process will be part of the package you receive. The application will also list the name and phone number of the tenancy officer who has been assigned the file. We recommend that you contact this person to answer any questions you have before starting mediation.

What's
404 Fury, you ask?
That's when you click on a content link - say, to a report title or to a specific directorate in a government department) - that you've saved or found on Canadian Social Research Links or a similar website. On the next page, you see "404 Error - Page not found" page. "ARGH", you might say, "I sure wish I'd saved that report before it got vapourized." I say that all the time, along with a few choice colourful phrases. Governments keep changing their sites, almost as if they're deliberately trying to confuse/frustrate people who are looking for information.

Wayback machine to the Rescue!
The Wayback Machine - Archive.org (Internet Archive)
"Browse through billions and billions of web pages archived from 1996 to a few months ago. To start surfing the Wayback Machine, type in the web address of a site or page where you would like to start, and press enter. Then select from the archived dates available. "
The Wayback Machine is a tool that lets you revisit/recreate bygone versions of sites and extensive archival content of websites and web pages. Paste a URL in the box on the home page, and the Wayback machine will retrieve as many copies of that page as it has archived. If you paste http://www.canadiansocialresearch.net/ into the Wayback Machine, for example, you'll see (as at November 5, 2013) links to 325 separate versions of this entire website (not just the home page) going right back to December 2000, two months after I purchased my own domain name ("canadiansocialresearch.net").
Play with it - you don't have to register or anything, and you can't break it.
And don't miss the special collections of historical links!
Wayback Bookmarklet - Click this link, then scroll halfway down the page to "Take The Wayback Machine With You". Drag the Wayback link to your browser's toolbar (also called a Links bar). Now, when you click a link to a website OR to website content and the link is dead, just click your Wayback toolbar link and you'll be transported to a calendar with links to any historical versions of the website or the file at the Wayback Machine. Select the latest version before the link went dead.
[You'll just have to play with this tool to learn how useful it can be to help you retrieve lost files and sites!]
What does the Wayback Machine look like? (photo)
The Wayback Machine contains (as of April 2009) 150 billion archived pages on a 20' by 8' by 8' box that sits in Santa Clara, courtesy of Sun Microcomputer.
(Click the link to see the actual physical Wayback Machine - it looks like one of those transatlantic shipping containers.)
It serves about 500 queries per second from the approximately 4.5 Petabytes (4.5 million gigabytes) of archived web data.
Where does the name Wayback Machine originate?From the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show (a Saturday morning cartoon show from the 1960s) - it's the name of Mister Peabody's time-travel machine.
In
2005, the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services created a page to
celebrate its 75th anniversary. The page, which included some very interesting
historical articles on welfare, was summarily deleted a year or so later, because,
well, because the 75th anniversary had come and gone, and who cares about how
welfare operated in Ontario in 1915 or 1920. Not the Ontario government webmaster,
apparently.
Ministry of Community and Social Services:
Supporting Ontario's communities since 1930
The year 2005 was the 75th anniversary of the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services. To mark the occasion, the Ministry posted to its website a collection of six historical factoids and vignettes about welfare as it existed in the first quarter of the 20th century and even before. When I checked the link in the summer of 2007, not only had the page disappeared from the MCSS website, but the above URL now (still in 2009) takes the cyber-visitor to "Thriving Communities", the ministry's framework for a contemporary approach to supporting Ontarians. That's all well and good, but six historical accounts of welfare in Ontario were simply discarded like yesterday's trash, without so much as a "does-anybody-even-care-about-history-out-there" warning.
Solution:
I went to Archive.org and copied the URL of the Ministry into the Wayback Machine (the text box near the top of the page). Then, on the Archive.org results page, I selected the link to the October 2004 site snapshot. Then, on the archived MCSS home page that appeared, I simply clicked on the 75th anniversary button and found the "missing" page and all its secondary links, all live.
Here's the URL of the archived copy of this page from Archive.org:
http://web.archive.org/web/20050518172022/www.mcss.gov.on.ca/CFCS/en/Celebrating75Years/default.htmTIP : scroll down to "Stories from our Past" for links [you have to click on the word "more" in each case] to the following six short historical bits about welfare and social services in Ontario in the last century:
* Origins of the welfare department (1930)
* Breaking 650 lbs. of rocks to qualify for welfare in 1915
* houses of refuge
* the Mothers' Allowance Act (1920)
* the first foray into the field of day care in the mid-40s
* the Soldier's Aid Commission (est. 1915).
TIP: you can use this same technique to retrieve many (but sadly, not all) "404" pages that have disappeared from the Web.
Sites that are database driven, generate dynamic web pages or have robots.txt exclusions can't be archived.

The
Internet Archive (IA) - from Wikipedia:
"The Internet Archive (IA) [also called the "Wayback Machine"] is a nonprofit organization dedicated to building and maintaining a free and openly accessible online digital library, including an archive of the Web. With offices and data centers located in California, the archive includes snapshots of the World Wide Web - archived copies of pages, taken at various points in time, along with software, movies, books, and audio recordings. To ensure the stability and endurance of the Internet Archive, its collection is mirrored at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Egypt. The IA makes its collections available at no cost to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public. It is a member of the American Library Association and is officially recognized by the State of California as a library."
Government
of Canada Web Archive:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/webarchives/index-e.html
Since the Fall of 2007, Library and Archives Canada has been harvesting the web domain of the Federal Government of Canada (starting in December 2005).Client access to the content of the Government of Canada Web Archive is provided through searching by keyword, by department name, and by URL. At the time of its launch in Fall 2007, approximately 100 million digital objects (over 4 terabytes) of archived Federal Government website data was made accessible via the LAC website. The GC WA currently contains over 170 million digital objects and more than 7 terabytes of data.

1. This site is definitely worth closer examination if you're looking for a federal government report or other resource that has disappeared from the Internet since early 2006. As the blurb above states, you can search through superseded versions of federal websites by keyword, department name or URL. I highly recommend that you consider using both the Government of Canada Web Archive and the Internet Archive as complementary tools; the former contains only three years' worth of digital objects (reports, tables, etc.), whereas the Internet Archive's "Wayback Machine" contains digital objects going right back to 1996.
2. The Canadian government archive a spring chicken and a lightweight compared to the Internet Archive.
To put everything into perspective, the government archive only goes back to the end of 2005, and it includes *only* sites that belong to the Government of Canada. As per the above blurb, it currently (in 2009) contains "over 170 million digital objects and more than 7 terabytes of data". According to Wikipedia (see the article above), "As of April 2009, the Wayback Machine contained about 4.5 Petabytes (4.5 million gigabytes) of archived web data, and it was growing at a rate of 100 terabytes per month."
[Snarky factoid:
The Canadian Government site boasts of "more than 7 terabytes of data", which is about the average size of the home collection of real audiophiles and video collectors.]
That's when you click on a content link - say, to a report title or to a specific directorate in a government department) - that you've saved or found on Canadian Social Research Links or a similar website. On the next page, you see "404 Error - Page not found" page. "ARGH", you might say, "I sure wish I'd saved that report before it got vapourized."

Welcome to the Canadian Social Research Newsletter!
At the beginning of each week (usually on Sunday), I upload to my website the latest issue of my newsletter containing all of the links that I've added to the Canadian Social Research Links site in the previous week. Then I send out a plain text version of the newsletter by e-mail to everyone on my mailing list.
The content of the newsletter is copied directly from the What's New page of the site.

SPAM FILTERS AND THIS NEWSLETTER:
Your office, school or Internet Service Provider (ISP) may use high-security level anti-spam measures to protect you from viruses, malware and spam.
Unfortunately, this means that most newsletters and most e-mail sent by Bulk (vs individually) to a hidden mailing list (like my Canadian Social Research Newsletter) are rejected, and every week I end up with a list of 25-50 people whose employer, educational institution or ISP has rejected that week's newsletter.
Another email irritant for network security systems
is URL shorteners such as TinyURL [ http://www.tinyurl.com
] and Google URL Shortener [ http://goo.gl/
]. I use the latter to replace excessively long URLs (usually from database-driven
websites) when I prepare the weekly Canadian Social Research Newsletter.
There is a way around this security challenge: copy my e-mail
address [ gilseg@rogers.com ] or the subject line
that I always use for each issue [ Canadian Social Research
Newsletter] into your e-mail software configuration (usually under "Options",
"Whitelist" or "Friends List" or something similar) to identify
me as a friend (or at least as a non-spammer), so that your network or ISP will
allow the newsletter to get through to you. If you signed up for the newsletter
from the office or behind a security firewall, try speaking to a technical support
person to have my email address added to the network whitelist.If you *are* behind a security firewall, the simplest way to guarantee that you'll receive my weekly newsletter is to subscribe using your home email address.
Privacy Policy:
I promise not to share this list, nor to send you any junk e-mail.
What's New and the weekly Canadian Social Research Newsletter
Whenever I add a link to any page on the Canadian Social Research Links site, I copy it to the What's New page. At the beginning of each week, I copy the content directly from that page into the Canadian Social Research Newsletter and I create an HTML version of the newsletter (see the links immediately below), which I post to my site. The HTML version of the newsletter also serves as an archive for "old" content from the What's New page. Finally, I copy the contents of the newsletter into an email message and send it to the CUPE mail server which disseminates it to all subscribers.

COMMENT: imho- PM Harper has served Canada honourably and well... and yes voted for change and time the youngbloods step up and take the reins of our Canada and imho Trudeau fits.....
but this old lady is well aware that in 2008
PM Harper saved us from the USA/EU/IMF greed of banks and wallstreet who stole
our pocketbooks around the world... and Peter Mackay who walked the talk for
our troops when u could NOT find another politician who gave a sheeeeet.....
PM Harper will do well..... and is truly loved
and respected by millions and millions of Canadians and was feared and
respected by China and Russia .... and we all know it. PM Trudeau will do
well.... God loves Canada and Canadians... this is a wonderful surprise from
the beautiful loved Bah'ai nation.....
USA and the 5 ruling nations kiss Iran's
Ass.... and then have the audacity to put down Russia and China's human rights?
Canadian Journalist who happened to b Iranian as well.... came home with the
most vicious rape, tortured and beaten remains ever seen from another country.
Let's not get started on Nedas (2009) and the absolute hatred by the Persian
snake of any OTHER Muslim belief ... and determination to harness women and abuse
gays, unions and on and on.... Well good luck with that.
PM Harper u did us well in hard, hard years
.... and PM Trudeau will do us well in the future.... because -like u... he
loves his children ... and always... CANADA AND CANADIANS FIRST... that's my
story and i'm sticking to it. God bless our troops.... Old momma Nova.

FROM FACEBOOK:
Canada’s PM to be nominated for nobel peace prize- B’nai Brith Canada to nominate Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a staunch Israel supporter, for the Nobel Peace prize.
In a statement released on Friday, B’nai Brith CEO Frank Dimant said that “with recent developments across the globe posing new and difficult challenges, only one leader, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, has maintained the moral clarity needed to face them.”
“Moral clarity has been lost across much of the world, with terror, hatred and anti-Semitism filling the void,” he said.
“Throughout, there has been one leader which has demonstrated international leadership and a clear understanding of the differences between those who would seek to do evil, and their victims. More than any other individual, he has consistently spoken out with resolve regarding the safety of people under threat — such as opposing Russian aggression and annexation of Ukrainian territory — and has worked to ensure that other world leaders truly understand threat of Islamic terrorism facing us today.”
Dimant continued, “In accordance with the rules of the Nobel Foundation it gives me great pleasure to nominate in my capacity as Professor of Modern Israel Studies at Canada Christian College, Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the Nobel Peace Prize in honor of the outstanding moral leadership he has demonstrated.”
Harper has been a staunch supporter of Israel and continued to stand up for the Jewish state during the last conflict in Gaza.
The
Canadian leader called on Canada’s allies and partners to
recognize that Hamas’s terrorist acts “are unacceptable and that solidarity
with Israel is the best way of stopping the conflict.” He also blamed
Hamas for the
heavy loss of civilian life in Gaza during the fighting.
In January, Harper visited Israel for the first time since
becoming Prime Minister. During the visit, he gave a
speech in the
Knesset and alsoshowcased
his musical talent during a
special dinner with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

COMMENT:
GENERAL
CAMPBELL- u raise the troops up and inspire us all over the world who have
supported and loved and full devotion to our troops and yours since 2001 when u
could not find a media or entity who cared about the human waste by vicious
monsters who wipe their butts on the Geneva Convention.... what an injustice to
our troops and humanity.... and the UN umbrella of red cross and doctors
without borders must identify in huge letters that they care for the monsters
along.... with their horrific injured victims perpetrated by these same
monsters - children and women- so the monsters can come back and kill our
troops and innocents AGAIN! - best quote: Dear G.campbl
please save afghanistan from pakistan terrorists. We are a human like you and your poeple. It is about 40 years that pakistan kill us. Why?
Peace never come.
