Starting June 12, 2023, the R-400 By-law will require property owners to register their residential rental properties. These properties are required to be registered by April 1, 2024.
The Residential Rental Registry will provide a clearer picture of the rental landscape in the Halifax Regional Municipality. Currently, the accuracy and detail of available building information is limited. A complete record of rental properties is expected to provide significant benefits for residents occupying these buildings by enhancing the municipality’s ability to provide services where needed.
The Residential Rental Registry process is comprised of three stages:
- Registration: Start the registration process by filling in our online form.
- Review: The municipality reviews your registration details and will contact you if further information is required.
- Confirmation: You will receive a registration number that can be used when advertising your rental.HRM
