Norgate vs. its own tenants

Norgate is a housing complex with 1,108 apartments located in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal. Owned by three wealthy real estate investors, Norgate is now taking legal action against its tenants, who are protesting their living conditions. Meanwhile, the complex’s owners are seeking to cut costs and raise rents in order to maximize their return on investment.
Although Norgate is just one housing complex among many, it highlights the deep divide between all-powerful mega-landlords and tenants, underscoring the lack of a genuine right to adequate housing.
