Patrick Lecours sold his home in the Glebe and a new family is waiting to move in, but his current tenants won t move out. They say they have the right to stay because they didn t receive proper notice.
The last few weeks have been a nightmare for Patrick Lecours. He has a deal in place to sell his home in the Glebe, but the tenants renting the property refuse to leave.
OTTAWA In todays booming housing market, finding that perfect place isn t easy. If you love where you live, why not pick-up your house and make some room below. Claudia Sosa and her family wanted more living space but did not want to move out of their Gilmour Street home. The basement is unfinished but had little headroom, and a century-old lime stone foundation took up most of the area. The family chose to replace the aging foundation and dig deeper, to have an eight-foot ceiling. It required jacking the house off the ground nearly three feet. We love the area. We ve been in Centretown for about twelve years, says Sosa. We re putting in a fireplace down there, so I think that is going to be my new favourite spot, when the kids aren t playing their video games of course.
