Are there any housing arrangements where I don’t have important legal rights?

Yes. The Nova Scotia Human Rights Act does not apply to situations where:

  • You are renting a room in a house that is occupied by the landlord or the landlord’s family; and 
  • The landlord does not advertise the rental.

In this type of housing arrangement, a landlord is legally permitted to discriminate against you and deny you accommodations for your disability.
