This isn't a case of "don't complain that someone gave you new appliances".
The new landlord is trying to raise the rent by almost 10 times the provincial guidelines, and workers are going into apartments without the required legal notice, including while people are sleeping.
It's illegal, it's disrespectful, it's creepy, and no one is getting anything for free.
As noted in the article, MB law allows for the rent increase to cover the increased costs of operation.
And ONE person said the contractors came in while they were sleeping. Did they come in to snoop around? To assault them? No, didnt know they were sleeping and walked in to do measurements. Oh well, they're getting new cabinets, and likely they assumed people go to work instead of sleeping during the day. Still getting new cabinets, those lucky ducks. Annoying, sure, but hardly worth writing an article about.
