‘Nowhere to go’: N.S. tenant forced back into tight rental market after fixed-term lease ends

Sarah Whynot is packing up her downtown Dartmouth apartment in anticipation of a move at the end of the month. Her lease with HarbourVista Apartments was not renewed this year, after five years of fixed-term leasing.

Unlike periodic leases — such as month-to-month or year-to-year — fixed-term leases have fixed start and end dates, meaning they are not automatically renewed.Fixed-term leases “I asked about the rental increase and I was told, basically, it would be between $400 to $600, maybe more,” she said.
