      She may. It really depends on how she left. But it seems like an arbitrator has already deemed that the demolishion permit was issued to the development company in bad faith, so that is probably a good sign for her!

      I am hopeful she is compensated, and that this is a reminder to Langford that this type of activity will cost developers in the long run. I also hope this alerts any other tenants who were victim of these types of practices to come forward and test their case. Ridiculous system, but it what we got.

    In a statement, the developer blames the City of Langford, saying it was given a demolition permit but the city then changed it to require that the house be moved instead."

    That sounds like a developer problem, not a renter problem. If the landlord/developer kicked them out early, why should they profit off it?
