One of three people fighting eviction notices they received from the local Tim Hortons franchisee in Souris, P.E.I., says the company has no legal grounds to make tenants leave their apartment building.
D.P. Murphy Inc., which operates a number of Tim Hortons franchises across Prince Edward Island, bought the apartment building at 4 Pleasant St. in November, and issued eviction notices to the tenants on Jan. 5.
According to documents filed by the company with the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission, P.E.I.’s rentals regulator, the company plans to use the building to house temporary foreign workers.
Tim Horton’s disgusts me. They literally built the Temporary Foreign Workers program into their business plan.
