The province is reminding landlords and tenants in New Brunswick that the section of the state of emergency that prevented evictions for not paying the rent expires on May 31.
After that date, landlords will be able to serve tenants with eviction notices.
The Residential Tenancies Tribunal is encouraging landlords and tenants to work together.
Service New Brunswick minister Sherry Wilson says the tribunal will continue to work with both parties to try and find an agreement when a rent payment in full is not possible.
The tribunal will consider the details of each individual case, including the amount of rent owing; the active engagement of both the landlord and tenant to come up with a payment plan; and the availability and accessibility of financial support through provincial and federal government programs during the COVID-19 pandemic.
