$150 to $10,000 per offence

Halifax Bylaw R-400 requires rental registration with HRM — registration is free. Fines under bylaws R-400 and M-200 range from $150 to $10,000 per offence.

Maintenance plan required under R-400

Bylaw R-400 requires a documented maintenance plan. A structured plan covering all 20 R-400 elements is far easier to show an inspector than a spreadsheet.

Annual inspection cycles

Smoke alarms, dryer ducts, and fire extinguishers come round every year. Missing one leaves a gap in your records.
