I can't emphasize it enough for people how different the laws are from province to province.
In Halifax, for example, I, as a landlord can just end your tenancy. NO reason. After 3 years, you are 'tenured' and get mostly the same protections as here. There are no gov't mandated percentage rent increases either. So guess what? Tenants behave.

She has yet to contact me since the day of her scheduled move-in. As such, the ball is in her court as I'm moving on.
Thank you everyone for all the suggestions and comments.
