The Nova Scotia Form J Claim Pack.
For a landlord claiming damage or rent beyond the security deposit: which form and which clock, a damage and loss schedule, a drafting sheet that follows the form, a service record, the evidence index the Regulations require, and the hearing and after.

What's inside
- Which form and which clock: Form R, Form J, Form S, DR3 and DR9, with the section behind each
- A damage and loss schedule, item by item, with the age and cost of anything replaced
- A drafting sheet that follows the boxes on Form J, so nothing you mean to claim is left off
- A service record for the application and the evidence, with the deemed-service rules
- The evidence index that Regulations s.25A requires you to send with your evidence
- The hearing, the order, the appeal, and what it takes to get paid
Why this exists
The province publishes Form J and a guide to filling it in. What it does not publish is the working around it: pricing the claim, proving service on a tenant who has moved out, and the evidence index the Regulations require.
Section 25A of the Residential Tenancies Regulations requires copies of all your evidence, with a document listing the types and how many of each, to reach the tenant and the Director at least five days before the hearing. Page 5 of the pack is that document.
Prefer to read first? The full guide to Form J for landlords is free to read, no email required.
This is not a government form and does not replace Form J. General information for Halifax-area rental owners, not legal advice. Questions? Call 902-580-6170.
