Metcap Living continues to provide substandard housing to individuals around the city. ACORN members are going out to demand better.
Today at 1pm ACORN members and allies will participate in a Tenant Action against Metcap in order to have their demands be heard.
When: Wednesday 13th March 1pm
Where: 536 Herring Cove Road
What: Tenant Action Against Metcap
ACORN Nova Scotia continues an ongoing campaign to get landlords to provide healthy and suitable living for low income Nova Scotians. Metcap Living has become notorious for low-quality housing and poor management. Many buildings are infested with bedbugs and in dire need of repairs. ACORN member and Metcap tenant, Marjorie Pemberton says “I would not recommend anyone living in a Metcap building. You will be disappointed and forced to live in an unhealthy environment”
Members like Marjorie see this action as an opportunity to have their voices be heard. This tenant action aligns with goals ACORN Nova Scotia is aiming to achieve on our larger Housing Platform.
