Fires Displace Renters, Fuel Gentrification

Published 1 week, 6 days ago
Description

Fires in Montreals multi-unit buildings are displacing renters and transforming neighborhoods. Two buildings in Verdun were sold as undivided condos after blazes, bypassing rental protections. Tenants like Lily Chử and Thomas MacMillan lost their homes and belongings, facing legal battles and struggling to return. Activists call it a landlord loophole, and city officials admit the issue but lack solutions. Renters bear the brunt of the chaos, reshaping communities one fire at a time.
