One of three people fighting eviction notices they received from the local Tim Horton’s franchisee in Souris, P.E.I., says the company has no legal grounds to make tenants leave their apartment building.
DP Murphy's lawyer, Mark Doucet, said the company would not provide comment for this story.
He cited a provision of the Rental of Residential Property Act that requires confidentiality in hearings over rental increases. However, the same provision is not included in the legislation relating to eviction proceedings. "It kind of illustrates the huge power imbalance between landlords and tenants in this province," Waters said, adding it can be intimidating for tenants to go up against landlords who have "a lawyer representing them, and a landlord that the tenants know has deep pockets."- Rosalind Waters, P.E.I.
