Several tenants of a Winnipeg apartment building moved out on Monday, more than a week after they say they were forced to vacate with just hours' notice by their new landlord who left some of their belongings on the front lawn.

"I guess I'll start over," said Devony Hudson, who picked up a new set of keys Monday morning as police, a private security company and Manitoba government employees kept an eye on the three-storey brick building built more than a century ago.

Some of the building's windows were broken or boarded up, and a notice from the Winnipeg Fire Department was posted on the front door saying the fire alarm and sprinkler system were out of order.

Hudson said two weekends ago, a maintenance man came to her door, told her she had to leave immediately and offered her a few hundred dollars. Shortly after, her belongings were outside.

Global's Katherine Dornian knows the details.
