Landlords in Nova Scotia say one of the top concerns they’ve been hearing this year is how they plan to adapt to the legalization of cannabis.
“They're all looking for some kind of a guarantee that they'll be living in a smoke-free environment, whether it's tobacco or cannabis,” says IPOANS policy analyst Kevin Russell.
Russell says most of the complaints are coming from seniors, young families and those with respiratory illnesses.
“Just because cannabis is legalized, doesn't mean you can infringe on the rights of others,” he says.
That’s why the association that represents 52,000 apartments and landlords in Nova Scotia is calling on the government to legislate the issue.
