Mold is visible under the floor.
“The floors are completely full of mold, the ceiling is soft in some places, you can slip, the kitchen sink has no faucet. It leaks everywhere, you have to put a cauldron to do the dishes,” explains Marie-Soleil Frances Sylvain with disgust.

The walls are full of stains suggesting a serious moisture problem.

Listen to Marie-Soleil’s interview Francis Sylvain on QUB Radio:
Two Longueuil residents want to move quickly and find a new suitable home. They don’t want to live in this hostel.
“We don’t want money, we don’t want monthly rent. We want to break the lease so they can find something else. We want the company to stop saying it’s possible,” explains Marie-Eve Goulet, mother of Guillaume LaFrançaise.
The couple contacted managers MSI Gestion Immobilière Group after learning about the condition of the accommodation.
Marie-Soleil Francis Sylvain and Marie-Eve Goulet were present while the latter sent a person to visit the premises.
In an email to the tenant, MSI Property Management Operations Manager, Terry Cloutier wrote: “We do not understand why you would consider the accommodation unsanitary. Shelter is not dangerous to your health, it is livable.
