Insane Subtenant

My question involves civil rights in the State of: Nova Scotia Canada.


I am a 30 year old student at Acadia University and I have a sublet who has no lease agreement, pays rent cash and has been here for only a week. The tenant is an middle aged female and I am male. Recently she became upset and combative because she claimed the rent was too high (a week after agreeing to pay 400 a month). She also seems to have a persecution complex where every event is seen as attack on her for which she must retaliate. I want to evict her ASAP I do not feel safe living with her, I feel like things could escalate. The other issue is that I suffer from Anxiety disorder as it is (properly diagnosed and I take medication for it) and knowing she is here, in the same house with me and believing that I am 'out to get her' and that she must 'defend' herself woulld make anyone a little anxious. Even more so in my case. Is that a medical argument I can make to get her out? Seeing as she has no rent agreement?

What are my options?

As you were told when you posted, this is a U.S. forum. As you know, Nova Scotia is not a U.S. State.

If you were in the U.S., you would need to give your subtenant proper notice to end her tenancy and, if she did not move at the end of the legally prescribed notice period, evict her.

For matters of Canadian law, you might try here.
