“Can’t go on”: Nova Scotia couple stuck paying 2 rents, including apartment they can’t access

From Global News.

A senior couple from Nova Scotia is living a financial nightmare as they wait for their case to be heard in front of the provincial tenancy board. Janice and Ed Lalonde say they’re paying rent for two apartments despite being locked out of one of them.

The Lalondes got what they call their “dream apartment,” only to find out their old landlords wouldn’t let them out of their lease, which doesn’t terminate until October.

As Ella MacDonald reports, they’ve been driven to all lengths to keep up with the payments.

“My husband’s back to working 40 hours, which he shouldn’t be doing at his age. I’ve taken my wedding rings to a jeweller… and have tried to sell them on consignment since January,” Janice said.
