Monday that: dodging

“Personally, sure it isa

in a Jan. 20 interview with

five people behind taking
shots at you.”

waehetua Now low-income tenants

must await eviction verdict

By CHRIS LLOYD

TENANTS of 44 run-
down apartments in
North Vancouver will
have to wait a while yet
before a Rentalsman’s
officer decides whether
they all need to be
evicted in order for the
landlord to renovate
the apartment building.

More than 30 of the
tenants attended an all-day

was whether vacant
possession of the entire
building, occupied primarily
by seniors and low-income
people, is essential in order
for the renovations to be
carried out.

Kristensen presented a list
of 22 items he says he wants
to upgrade at the building.
Among these are, reroofing
the building, replacing
interior and underground
parking lighting systems,
repainting, refinishing walls,
replacing floors, broken

plumbing, security locks and _

Tast’ week.
officer Jordon Guy declared
he would tssue a decision
after receiving written
submissions on behalf of
tenants and the landlord.

Harry and Luella Lindsay,
both in their seventies, have
been fighting for 10 years to
have conditions improved at
their fifth-floor apartment at
105 Lower West Keith,
where the roof leaks, rain
seeps through the window
casings and an interior wall
has cracked through from
one side to the other.

Landlord Torben
Kristensen has 14 rents on
the building withheld by the
Rentalsman every month for
failing to improve. the
dilapidated units.

When he finally agreed to
carry out’ extensive
renovations, estimated at
$500,000, he sent eviction
notices to all the tenants,
including the manager, just a
few days before Christmas.

gave evidence that vacant
possession would be
necessary because of the
extent of the work to be
carried out to the building.

whether less extensive
renovations had been
considered which would

vacant possession of the
