A group of holdout tenants from two Vanier apartment blocks say they’re being unfairly “reno-victed” from their homes by the buildings’ new owners.
Ottawa City Hall was the site of a protest Wednesday that urged the city to enact an anti-displacement policy to protect low-income tenants from eviction because of renovations in or demolitions of existing buildings.
