Free legal advice for tenants available at summer clinics across N.B.
As director of the University of New Brunswick’s legal clinic, Jeannette Savoie says some of the most common legal questions she’s asked are about how the province’s rent cap works. Nichola Taylor, chair of ACORN’s New Brunswick chapter, said legal clinics like these are also crucial for renters with low to moderate income who might not be able to afford someone who can advocate on their behalf during a legal crisis. “There’s no one there really to help them,” Taylor said. “I’m sure often they feel like they’re forgotten.” Taylor said newcomers and other first-time renters should inform themselves about tenants regulations that are specific to the province — but that can be difficult.
