Cambridge, Ont. family evicted without notice after landlord loses property

Documents show the landlord lost the home to lenders days after the lease started, but no one told the tenants.
A family in Cambridge, Ont. is now homeless after they were evicted from the house they were renting.
It all came as a huge surprise because they signed a lease and paid their rent on time.
It was only after a sheriff arrived at their home to evict them Friday morning that they learned the landlord they’d been paying rent to hadn’t owned the property since January.
"I had 10 minutes,” explained Rebecca Gray, recalling the rush to get out after the sheriff and police officers showed up at her door. “So all my beds, my couches, all my clothes, all my kids toys, all her toys, her birthday presents, their Easter chocolate. Everything is in that house."
Gray, her partner and her three young kids moved into the home on Short Street in January after signing a 12-month lease.
But a court order shows the landlord, Sarah Kon, lost the property to what appears to be two private lending groups days after the family moved in.
The courts sent notice to Kon that the property would be seized, but no one told the tenants.
