Handful of tenants still fighting to stay at Causeway Bay Hotel

Some people have successfully fought an eviction notice issued at Causeway Bay Hotel in Summerside, P.E.I.

The notice was issued in October after building owners claimed tenants or their visitors damaged some units.

But tenant Robert Wall said after filing an appeal to the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission, he received a phone call from the commission telling he is allowed to stay.

"As for now we are safe, but it still makes me sad because some of my friends here still got evicted," he said. "It's not fair."

Wall has been advocating for about three months for himself and other tenants in the building,

He said he wasn't told why he won his eviction hearing and others lost.

Cheryl MacLean is one of about five people left who are still fighting the evictions.

"I might be out homeless," she said.

She and others in the building received a phone call from IRAC last week telling them their eviction would be upheld. She has been told she will need to leave by Nov 13.

"I'm going to try to fight for it, to try and stay here," she said.

MacLean is confused as to why her eviction was upheld when others like Wall had theirs overturned. 

"There's holes and all that in my room and bubbles that I didn't even do. That was like that when I moved in," she said.

MacLean has another call with IRAC to appeal the decision this coming week, she said.

Even Wall, whose eviction was overturned, isn't confident he will be allowed to live there long term.
