The building located in Parc-Extension on Outremont Avenue is in a pitiful state due to the unsanitary conditions of the building.
The presence of cockroaches, mice and bedbugs is denounced by residents, but also the owner’s way of communicating.
The latter would have sent a letter to certain tenants with the lowest rents, estimated at $400 per month, assuring that it was only their fault if the accommodation was unsanitary.
The spokesperson for the group of disgruntled citizens denounces the climate of fear with which tenants must juggle.
“An apartment with cockroaches for $750 a month, I think that’s a lot to pay […] I saw problems with the windows, I saw problems with the piping, I saw problems with vermin, not just cockroaches, but mice too,” shares Mathurin Vacher in an interview with TVA Nouvelles.
“Afterwards, we would have to check with the other tenants so that they can provide their supporting evidence, but from what I have heard, I am not the only one to have problems in this building.”

Residents of this disadvantaged area of the metropolis also deplore problems with stoves and the occasional absence of hot water in certain units in winter.
The services of the Parc-Extension Action Committee (CAPE) were requested by tenants at the end of their resources.
Joined by our journalist, the owner says he is doing everything possible to improve the situation experienced by tenants.
