Overview

• Power has been out at the roughly 50-unit Scotian on Green Street since Aug. 27, and tenants report poor communication from Templeton Properties.
• Minister Jill Balser designated the building’s cases an emergency and urged renters to contact the Residential Tenancies Program.
• Officials did not outline how the province will resolve the outage but said the situation is concerning.
• Tenants report a fourth-floor flood damaged electrical panels, with one panel emitting a burnt metal and plastic smell during checks.
• Some residents say they were told their units are uninhabitable and must be vacated, and many on fixed-term leases fear filing complaints.
