North Bay council is getting some nearby help has it strives to see some landlord and tenant laws changed.
The help is coming from the Municipality of West Nipissing which is giving council its unanimous support with a resolution it recently passed.
North Bay wants the province to find ways to protect basic tenant rights.
However it also wants protection for a landlord’s property when bad tenants damage it and the city wants landlords to be able to recover their losses.
West Nipissing council is solidly behind the North Bay motion and has sent a letter to Premier Doug Ford and Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli telling both of its support.
West Nipissing is also sending word of its support to its local MPP John Vanthof of Timiskaming-Cochrane and Nickel Belt MP Marc Serre.
Various landlord groups are also getting a letter from West Nipissing council saying it supports the North Bay resolution.
