Tenant Recourse for Unrepaired Safety Hazards After Notice

If you rent a home in New Brunswick and a serious safety hazard remains unrepaired after you notify your landlord, you may have options beyond sending another reminder. Problems such as unsafe wiring, failed heat, serious leaks, mould, or broken locks can affect a rental unit's basic safety and habitability. This guide explains how to give clear notice, preserve evidence, contact the New Brunswick Residential Tenancies Tribunal, and seek an order or other available remedy. It also explains why tenants should not simply stop paying rent or make major repairs themselves without reliable legal guidance. Whether you are a long-term renter or have just moved in, organized records can help you present your concerns clearly and protect your tenant rights.
