Don't own a house? 'Don't forget how lucky you are. #Renting is largely risk and responsibility-free', according to this article in the #Telegraph

Yep. I'm sure millions of people are thrilled about paying #rent that ends up in someone else's pocket, #landlords who refuse to fix things and refuse to pay back your #deposit over the smallest of things, the #increases in rents that happen all the time and the risk of being chucked out of your home due to the prevalence of #fixedterm contracts.

Very lucky indeed.

It has become incumbent on #tenants to at least be aware although rights are very limited...
For instance, I am with Paramount - all their leases in N.S. are "fixed term" meaning they can give me 4 months notice before my lease is up, to get out. This allows them to rent my unit for a much higher rent.
I have no appeal. This needs to be fixed in law.
