Every July 2, there’s a piece about stuff left behind on sidewalks after the chaos of Moving Day.
If you’ve ever moved house, you know there comes a crunch moment where, however scrupulous you normally are about recycling and being a good citizen, you just want to dump the last bits and pieces, and go. Et voilà.
Convicted gangster Arsène Mompoint was murdered in Kanesatake on Thursday.
As expected, hundreds more people are now homeless after the end of their leases with nowhere new to go.
TVA tells about a woman evicted on the claim that the landlord’s mother wanted the apartment, but who suspects the landlord simply wanted her out to jack the rent for a new tenant. Banners have gone up on buildings with mass renovictions, but it’s not as if that kind of landlord can be shamed – for them, it’s an accolade.
La Presse did a balancing story by talking to landlords with bad tenants.
A new study shows that tenants don’t sleep as well as landlords.
One young man shot himself in the hand while allegedly trying to scare his landlord.
This advice is a day too late but to the woman evicted for the long gone landlords mother: just stay put. The police will not evict you without a jugement of eviction. A judge won’t enfore the corrupt agreement you signed. Boohoo to the new owners.
I know I didn’t sleep well at my old apartment, and my landlord hated that, because the sounds I made (walking on the floor, coughing) kept him awake – he lived below me and kept reminding me that he was a light sleeper. Called me some nasty names too. What a control freak.
I wonder whether there’s a division between tenants whose landlords live in the same building vs. those who live somewhere else. I have to admit, compared to the time I used to live upstairs of a landlady who hated me (she’d bought me with the building, so to speak), I’m happier with my landlords living in a different part of town.
I think a lot of the issue with my landlord was due to the fact that yes, he lived below me and it was a very not-soundproof building, plus he’s naturally hot-headed.
I know I didn’t sleep well there, lying in bed late at night with high anxiety over trying desperately to get to sleep and worried about making the slightest noise.
A report from a real estate analyst group says that, contrary to popular belief, the hot condo market here is not being driven by foreign investors.
