Tenant Stacey Gomez has been notified by the Halifax Regional Municipality about a pending order to condemn her unit due to high levels of mould detected in an air quality test. The order is expected to be issued on Monday, October 24, 2022.
Documentation shows that the landlord Marcus Ranjbar (4364812 Nova Scotia Limited) knew the problem existed since November 2022, prior to purchasing the property. According to Ms. Gomez, he failed to take action to address the issue.
On September 12, 2022, a Residential Tenancy Officer issued a decision dismissing the landlord’s application to renovict Ms. Gomez. The landlord filed a Notice of Appeal with the Small Claims Court of Nova Scotia on September 16, 2022, seeking to have this decision overturned.
A hearing date for the appeal has not yet been set. In addition, the Adjudicator has yet to decide whether Ms. Gomez’ request for an in-person hearing will be granted.
