HRM R-400 Aligned
The regulatory context
Municipal Bylaws R-400 and M-200 fundamentally changed the compliance landscape for Halifax rental property owners. Being unaware is not a defence.
Halifax Bylaw R-400 mandates rental property registration with HRM. Bylaw M-200 requires a documented 5-year maintenance plan. Violations carry per-property penalties that stack.
Nova Scotia's "warm, safe, and dry" standard requires documented proof. A complete R-400 audit trail — not a shared Google Doc — is what an HRM inspector expects.
Smoke alarms, dryer duct cleaning, and fire extinguisher checks require annual documentation. A single missed cycle creates personal liability under the NS Residential Tenancies Act.
Simple process
BridgeTrade guides Halifax landlords through every step — R-400 registration, M-200 compliance, and ongoing maintenance management.
Complete your official Halifax R-400 rental property registration digitally. The July 14, 2023 HRM form, exactly — in under 5 minutes.
Your 5-year Maintenance Plan is built from your property profile. All 20 R-400 elements covered: structural, mechanical, and fire safety.
When deadlines approach, BridgeTrade alerts vetted Halifax contractors and captures job evidence directly to your Compliance Passport.
Your Compliance Passport stays current automatically. Share verified compliance with HRM, insurers, or tenants — on demand, one click.

What landlords say
“Before BridgeTrade I had a spreadsheet for 8 units and was terrified every time I heard about an inspection. Now I have a perfect audit trail. No fines, ever.”
James M.
Portfolio Landlord · Halifax Peninsula
“Getting my M-200 plan generated automatically was genuinely impressive. The R-400 form alone saved me half a day of figuring out what HRM actually wanted.”
Sarah L.
Property Manager · Dartmouth, NS
“As an accidental landlord I didn't even know R-400 existed. BridgeTrade walked me through registration, set up my reminders, and dispatched the first inspection.”
