Some Montreal tenants are being evicted so their apartments can be turned into tourist rentals. Turns out that's legal
Long-term tenants of a Hochelaga-Maisonneuve triplex are facing eviction as their landlords move to convert the building into short-term tourist accommodations.

"In 2001, when Raymond moved in, rent for the 6 ½ room apartment was $525 per month." Jesus Christ. I knew it was bad but have rates really like, tripled/quadrupled in the past 20 years?
J'aime ça quand les gens [ceux négavotés dans les commentaires ici] "font juste dire les faits" et rappeler "que c'est légale, alors c'est correct" et que "vouloir faire du profit c'est naturel alors on peu pas blâmer les propriétaires"
Comme si ceux là seraient pas les premier à venir pleurer à l'injustice si soudainement on socialisait l'habitation et qu'on réquisitionnait les propriétés privés pour les mettre sous gestion d'un ministère locatif.
J'imagine que c'est facile d'hausser les épaules et sortir des "c'est la vie" quand on profite du status-quo
The landlord clearly has $ _ $ in his pupils
Hey Montrealers, what should we do? I'm 100% down to sign, write, lobby, anything to prevent this shit from occurring. Montreal has hotels for tourists, we don't need to ruin our lovely neighborhoods for the sake of a few greedy property owners. Let's hear some ideas!
Plante doesn't give two shits, fuck her. We need better mayors.
And fuck Legault. I'm sure he hopes that the whole island just turns into one big hotel, he doesn't give two shits about this city.
