I would doubt it. Short of suing and incurring legal fees, the tenants are at the mercy of the building’s insurance, and I would doubt it would it cover them in the least. I hope I’m wrong and they’re all sorted.

I wonder if the restaurant’s insurance will help the tenants out, if in fact the fire is the fault of the restaurant?

Good point Kyle. My understanding is that at least 38 people are now homeless and of course most don’t have insurance. Any chance of Incendio West hosting a fundraiser for the tenants?

who cares about incendio, what about the 20 + people who dont have a home. sure the city of vancouver will put them up in some hotel for 3 days but then what. theres almost nowhere else in van, that is as affordable as alexander court was.
