Unlicensed lodging houses and fire safety codes

As per Ontario building code, if a single family house has more than 4 separate tenancies, it is considered as a lodging house. Lodging houses have different and stricter fire safety codes than single family houses. But the rooming houses (4+ tenancies) don't follow the fire safety codes of lodging houses. Cities overlooks/ignore this.

Considering this is a systemic issue:

  1. How about complaining to Ontario Fire Marshall

  2. How about asking for Ombudsman review?

  3. What can we do as tenants?

Ballooning seniors' benefits are another example of Canada's east-west divide

I think it is ridiculous that government doesn't consider net worth when calculating OAS.
A person can have a million dollar home but still be eligible for OAS

Having hard time finding short term lease.

I'm planning to move from Windsor,Ontario to Sherbrooke for couple of months and having hard time finding a quality place that accepts short term rentals.
This is my first time coming to Quebec.
Just wondering how tight is the rental market in Sherbrooke. I appreciate suggestions from locals.
