Have they gone to the city to ask if he can even get the permits? In Ville Marie it’s already limited to St-Catherine street. In the Plateau it’s limited to St-Denis, St-Laurent and Shebrooke street for all new permits.

The article said the zoning permits it. And the timing seems like they’ve been given the 6 months notice, though the Regie can require them to give more notice or more money (3 months rent + moving costs).

Exactly, caveat emptor – always a good idea to know the zoning of the building you are in because that can change the rules around your rights as a renter quite drastically.
