A Regina man who says he was given two hours to vacate the seniors' home he lived in after being evicted should not have been forced to move in the first place.
A Regina man who says he was given two hours to vacate the seniors’ home he lived in after being evicted should not have been forced to move in the first place.
Chris Ritter had been living at Mutchmor Lodge for six months before an incident involving another resident took place where police had to be called.
Ritter said he was given an eviction notice on April 2 and was told he only had two hours to vacate the premises.
“You’re supposed to get two verbal warnings and a written one,” Ritter explained.
Ritter said he spent the next three days out in the cold before he was taken to the Regina General Hospital (RGH) by a police officer.
Ritter is diabetic, which requires him to inject insulin four times a day. He also relies on a catheter and deals with mental health challenges.
“I had no where to go. I just put a couple of things on my cart. Like I don’t know how to load my insulin so I had no insulin. Medication, I just took some pills with me,” Ritter added.
