Halifax Rent Crisis Deepens

Halifax’s rental market is a nightmare for tenants, with vacancy rates at a bone-crushing 2.7% and sub-$1K units nearly impossible to find. Landlords keep hiking rents even on occupied units, while overall asking prices have dipped slightly from their peak. Despite a glimmer of improvement from CMHC, the city’s ultra-low turnover rate means few people are moving out, locking in high prices and making affordability a distant dream. With rent gobbling up 60% of some students’ income and fancy amenities trumping basic affordability, the squeeze is real—and shows no sign of easing.
