An update on the rat situation at a North Bay apartment.

John Wilson represents the property owner of an apartment building on Main Street.

He says no one is currently living in the apartment.

He says it is in limbo.

Wilson says they’ve applied for eviction under the residence tenancy act and that hearing is scheduled for February 1st.

Wilson says the tenant has agreed to leave voluntarily but they got the early hearing date.

He says in all 627 adult rats have been removed from the apartment and that doesn’t include the baby rats.

He says there are still 4 rats in the apartment and the tenant comes in every day to feed them.

Wilson says they’re well looked after.
