A Montreal family that came to Canada with dreams of building a better life have found themselves living in an apartment in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce where mice and cockroaches are coming through the ceiling because their bathroom ceiling caved in.
The parents are worried about the filth because their daughter has been diagnosed with cancer.
On April 12, Adil El-abbar says the giant hole opened up in his bathroom ceiling.
His upstairs neighbour's shower had been leaking and when the ceiling finally collapsed, water and debris came crashing into El-abbar's bathtub.
"Every time there's a person in the apartment taking a shower, the water starts up again," he explained.
He says he contacted his landlord right away but after nearly a month it still hasn't been fixed. Each morning, he says he has to clean out more debris but that's not all he finds in his tub.
