Quinte West renters continue to fight renovictions
Residents of four apartment units gather outside of Quinte West City Hall to protestDuring Wednesday’s meeting of Quinte West council, the group representing renters facing “renovictions” from properties owned by Bedford Properties, made a deputation to council.
D’Angelo gave a short speech to Quinte West council, urging them to continue supporting the renters in their community and highlighting that similar “renovictions” are a widespread problem, happening in Toronto and other communities across Ontario as well. D’Angelo urged renters facing similar attempted evictions to not sign anything without reading it, and to not be afraid to reach out for help if the paperwork is difficult to understand.
“We actually we weren’t even sure if the CEO of Bedford Properties even existed, he was so hard to track down and still no communication. So we’re gonna we’re gonna try another avenue,” said Lawrence. “If he wants to renovate that’s that’s his right. We have no problem with that. What we have a problem is with is being told we need to be a evicted from our homes in order for these renovations to take place.
