Janice Mitchell said Monday residents at eight fourâ€" plex apartment buildings located at 79 to 113 Westâ€" mount Road North, north of Westcourt Place, will be able to stay in their homes under their current leases _expire even if their units are purchased by someone else. Waterloo council voted 7â€"3 in favor of converting the apartments to condominiums Oct. 23 despite the fact city staff advised against it. Couns. Bruce McKenty, Joan McKinnon and Tricia Siemens voted against the conversion.

"If they can‘t be kicked out now, then they won‘t be kicked out just because it goes condominium." Mitchell said under normal conditions, tenants would be forced to leave their homes if their units were conâ€" verted into condominiums and purchased by someone else. However she said because the city was working out a special agreement between itself and the current ownâ€" ers of the buildings, Bam Investments Ltd. and Triton Development Ltd., tenants‘ rights will be protected by the Landlord and Tenant Act. "It (the agreement) will keep the Landlord and Tenant Act in place," the planner said. "It will supersede the Condominium Act really. It doesn‘t give the landlord the additional right to evict (tenants) because he wants to move in or a family member wants to move in." That will be good news for most tenants who live in the buildings. Last Friday, at least four residents interâ€" viewed by the Waterloo Chronicle, all students, said they were concerned they might have to leave their units if they were converted into condominiums and then sold. Stephanie Cook, Julie Gallant, Scott French and James Cressman said it would be difficult to find the same kind of affordable housing, close to the universities, if they had to leave their units. "I guess we‘re going to lose our apartment, I‘m assumâ€" ing," Gallant said, when told council had agreed to allow the buildings to be converted into condominiums. "So we‘re going to have to move.
