Tenants, however, says Project Genesis&rsquo; Claire Abraham, are struggling to be treated faily by the tribunal when their rights are violated.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0The statistics often quoted &#8211; an average delay of 21 \u00a0months for the category that includes causes of unsanitary conditions and lack of heating &#8211; does not mention the reality endured by tenants who are being held prisoner of a dysfunctional and ineffective justice system.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Romina Hernandez of POPIR &#8211; Comit\u00e9 Logement says the government has been unresponsive to calls for change. \u00ab\u00a0We went directly to Moreau&rsquo;s office because it&rsquo;s been months and months that we are trying to communicate with the Minister without success. For years Quebec tenants have been documenting abuses and sending letters without a response.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The current R\u00e9gie system, say advocates, prioritizes the interests of owners at the expense of the rights of tenants. \u00ab\u00a0The latest measures proposed by the government &#8211; hiring of special clerks and commissioners &#8211; had no impact on the waiting times for tenants. These resources only serve to maintain short deadlines for the owners&rsquo; issues, \u00a0\u00bb said Abraham.<\/p>\n<p>Tenants&rsquo; rights groups are demanding that Moreau ensure the tribunal does not dismiss tenant&rsquo;s health and safety in pursuit of protecting financial interests of landlords, and any reform should seek to establish and equitable, transparent and timely system.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Joel Ceausu<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Sububan - Housing advocates call Regie slow and unresponsive\" href=\"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2015-0211-suburban-housing-advocates.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PDF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Suburban &#8211; February 11, 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[281],"tags":[242],"class_list":["post-9784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dans-les-medias","tag-delais-a-la-regie-du-logement"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-11 04:54:52","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9784","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9784"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16812,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9784\/revisions\/16812"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6733"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/genese.qc.ca\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
