Gigi, a registered nurse, returned from work exhausted to the tiny room she was renting in a Toronto home last Monday night. About 45 minutes later, Toronto police were knocking on her bedroom door saying she had to leave "now." http://torstar.co/Tino50z6giG
"I told (the police officers), ‘I am a nurse. I just got home from work. It’s late,’” said Gigi, who had started her shift at 7 a.m. that day. “They just said: ‘We don’t care. Your landlord wants you out, and you have to go now.’" https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/04/05/evicted-during-the-pandemic-a-toronto-nurse-pleads-for-fairness.html
The Star spoke to the landlady, who said she “had no option” but to evict Gigi because she was “putting the health, safety and well-being of myself and others in the house at risk.” https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2020/04/05/evicted-during-the-pandemic-a-toronto-nurse-pleads-for-fairness.html
