Two single mothers in Halifax area are facing difficulties in finding housing due to landlords refusing to rent to them because they have children. Despite this being illegal, the mothers have been turned down multiple times and are left with no options as public housing is full and rent supplements are hard to access.
Mallory Gunn, one of the mothers, has been denied housing because of her children, with landlords stating that their buildings do not accept children or are looking for single applicants. This issue is not unique to Gunn, as other parents are also being denied housing due to their children
