Former tenants of a rooming house on Balmoral are taking action after possibly being illegally evicted.

Nine residents of a 15-unit building at 959 Balmoral Rd. filed complaints with the legal advocacy group Together Against Poverty after receiving one-month eviction notices on Aug. 30. The notices were delivered by a landlord, who was accompanied by four Victoria police officers. Three tenants were evicted on the spot.
