What's inside
- The three-part test that decides whether the tenant pays at all
- Ten worked allocations, from a dripping tap to a burned carpet
- Halifax M-200 minimum standards, each with its section number
- The s.28D maintenance schedule, with a last-completed record
- A dated repair request and response log
- A chargeback worksheet that makes you name the act
Why this exists
Statutory Condition 4 reaches damage caused by a wilful or negligent act. Not "caused by", not "happened during the tenancy". Ordinary wear is neither, so it falls to the landlord by default, and the owners who lose these arguments are usually the ones who could not show what happened rather than the ones who did not know the rule.
Nova Scotia publishes Form J for a repair dispute and a Rental Unit Condition Report for move-in and move-out condition. Neither covers the ongoing request-and-response record, which is the gap this fills. If your property is registered, HRM also publishes its own R-400 Maintenance Plan template; use theirs for that one.
