Repossession of housing : The personal considerations of the tenant

Repossession of housing : The personal considerations of the tenant

The tenant refers mainly to her great disappointment at the idea of leaving her present dwelling to which she is very attached after many years of occupation of the housing. She is also afraid that she will not be able to relocate at a reasonable price because she claims that the housing that would suit her best is often overpriced for her means. She argues that the landlady could house her mother on the ground floor, in her own home. This housing of 5 and a half rooms would be more than spacious enough to accommodate three people, while the son of the landlady could eventually even settle in the basement. Also, given the advanced age of the landlady’s mother and the many steps to access her upstairs dwelling, the tenant questions the mother’s physical ability to truly settle in the dwelling concerned.
