This was posted on Kijiji, I took flack from the administrator of the site, but I did receive about 50 responses from tenants in HRM who are dealing with mold, rotting floors, bed bugs, rats, mice, you name it.

Well my ads keep getting deleted. Must be the landlords reporting them as offensive, I find it offensive that we pay the rent and they just paint over mold, ignore leaks and rotting wood, I find it offensive that they keep our damage deposit and we have to move incurring hook up fees & moving costs, come on people it is not cheap to move, maybe we should get a petition going to make the Tenancy Board enforce Clause 1 of the lease agreement - Conditions of Premises, pull out your lease agreement, read it, then go to HRM's web site & read By Law M100, minimum code standards. You cannot withhold your rent for any reason or you are in violation of the lease agreement , this the tenancy board enforces, pro landlord. But they do not enforce the terms & conditions, anti tenant. I do not think having leaking pipes, moldy bathrooms, rodents & bed bug infestations is up to code, as a matter of fact I know this, the tenancy board needs to enforce the lease agreement that protects the tenants from slumlords. maybe the media could help with this, I am not sure, but you have landlords living in million dollar homes and good tenants living in mold & unsafe premises, where is the justice.

While I do agree 100% with your view here, I know exactly why your posts are getting removed from Kijiji. Kijiji is NOT a chat site. It's 100% dedicated to classified ads and those type of ads do not include posting comments, problems, or requests for opinions. Classified ads are for buying and selling good or services.
