Montreal Mayoral Candidate Faces Heat Over Rental Deposit Error
Monday, May 12, 2025, 1:21 pm
Soraya Martinez Ferrada, a Montreal mayoral hopeful, finds herself in hot water after charging an unusually steep rental deposit. Claiming it was a “good faith” error—and promptly refunding the amount—the debacle has raised serious questions about her policy judgment and attention to detail in an election season where every move is scrutinized.
Il y a eu « l’auto-pelure-de-bananisation », et il y a maintenant « l’auto-Denis-Coderrisation ».
La candidate à la mairie de Montréal, Soraya Martinez Ferrada, affirme avoir fait une « erreur de bonne foi » en demandant un dépôt de sécurité à un locataire, en 2023. Elle dit toutefois prendre l’entière responsabilité de la situation et assure avoir remboursé le montant.
La cheffe d’Ensemble Montréal est montrée du doigt pour cette pratique illégale.
