Another landlord post!! We gave notice that we will be moving out of our apartment on Willett Street 3 months in advance, and our landlord hit us today with a "notice of entry" to show our unit to potential renters. The issue is that the notice essentially says "within these 30 days we are giving notice for, we can enter whenever Mon-Fri between this specific timeframe". When I called to let the landlord know we require at least 24 hr notice to the specific date of entry rather than just a blanket notice of any date within a 30 day range, he said I was incorrect and that he knew the tenancy act better than me. I reiterated that he was incorrect, he would not let me speak so I stated "you are talking over me and not letting me speak", and he promptly hung up on me. There is no other way to contact this company outside of his phone number, and he would not answer my texts when sending him the sections he would be violating.

I called the NS Tenancy Board for advice and to make sure my own information was correct, and they confirmed that his "notice" is not legal. Aside from submitting a Form J and heading to Access NS to try to get an emergency hearing, is there anything else I can do in the meantime? Very stressed about the entire situation, and nervous about people entering our apt.

UPDATE: We have a trial date set for late June, not sure what we will do in the meantime. I sent him ample proof by text (the only written form of communication we have) of how they are violating our tenant rights, and he just told me to "stop texting him."

I (F25) moved to a new city for University, and decided to stay post-grad, but as a result of moving, I didn't have any friends when I came out here. It has only been over the past two years after graduating that I met a group of friends through acquaintances. They were already pre-established, some having met each other through high school while others met in university, and most had known each other for years. They have a massive group chat where there's activity every day, and there's a sense of group loyalty.

I was desperate for friends and they seemed similarly nerdy, friendly, and within my age range, so I didn't think twice when joining the group. We made a lot of amazing memories over the past two years. They organize events all the time, and meet at a bar in the middle of almost every week. I felt on top of the world, and like I had a safety net for once, as I don't have family I am in contact with.

Slowly, over a course of time, I started to get to know individuals better in the group, and I noticed things that bothered me. Whether it be small incidents bordering on sexual harassment, weird extremist political comments, or (somewhat subtle) racist comments. I would bring them up, leading to conflict between me and those people. I have a serious problem with the behaviour of about 50% of the group, and another 40% seem complicit and not willing to speak up against it. The last few people willing to speak up against it aren't as involved in this group, but also aren't as bothered by it and continue to spend time with the rest.

I'm at a weird crossroads where Im starting to get my life together with regards to a career and my finances, but this group feels like something I'm outgrowing (a portion of people are also chronically unemployed and rely on their parents), both in terms of values and where we're at in our lives.

On one hand, I have a soft spot for the amazing memories before this rift happened. On the other hand, the extreme differences in values bothers me to my core. But if I step away, I go back to having almost no friends, and every person in that group would choose their loyalty to the collective over a relationship with me. I'm scared to start over again in my mid twenties, in a small city where I'm sure to see them around, and I'm just not sure what to do next.
