The repair issue

Statutory Condition 1 of RTA s.9 obliges the landlord to keep the premises in a good state of repair, fit for habitation, AND compliant with health/safety/housing standards. Failure on any of those three is enforceable. The Public Health Act and municipal property-maintenance bylaws run in parallel — you can pursue them at the same time as the Residential Tenancies Program.

This letter will cite

Nova Scotia Residential Tenancies Act, R.S.N.S. 1989, c.401, s.9 (Statutory Conditions — repair, fit for habitation, health/safety/housing standards); s.13 (Director's order procedure); Public Health Act (parallel track); municipal property-maintenance bylaws (Halifax Regional Municipality By-law M-200, etc.); Legal Profession Act, S.N.S. 2004, c.28 (UPL framing).

Your letter cites Statutory Condition 1 (good state of repair + fit for habitation) and signals the Form J — Application to Director route plus the parallel Public Health Act / municipal property-maintenance enforcement options.
