Does the LL have to pay for their temporary accommodations? That's super short notice to vacate.

There's an update today, and (surprise, surprise)...no. Tenants were paid out for the remainder of this month, and they got their damage deposits back, but other than that they're on their own.

That's good at least. I also caught an article that said there was a group helping them out with interim accommodations and funding.

With the lack of affordable housing in this city though losing 150, some odd suites is a real kick in the pants.
