Montreal – A Quebec court ordered a group of Hasidic Jews to leave their summer homes by the end of the month because they are too noisy and slovenly.

The Quebec Superior Court ruled that the approximately 50 Hasidim living in the town of Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, 60 miles north of Montreal, must leave by July 26 following complaints from the town that they hold rowdy gatherings till 2 a.m., treat their properties like garbage dumps, and use their residences as synagogues and religious schools, which is contrary to zoning laws.
“The buildings are not well-maintained,” Deputy Mayor Jean-Léo Legault said, and “are not supposed to be used for that purpose.”
Ste-Agathe Mayor Denis Chalifoux in interviews with the local media dismissed any notion, as a few of the Hasidim have alleged, that anti-Semitism was behind their eviction, saying that Jews and non-Jews have lived “harmoniously” in Ste-Agathe for a century and the town has a large Jewish population.
Complaints about the group date back to 2015.

liter bugs yes noisy no.
Well, a half-dozen photos of the properties ought to confirm or give the lie to the charges.
I guess they rent these shacks. If they own them, they surely can’t be thrown out.
didn’t these (lev tahor) savages run away in the middle of the night a couple of years ago to Ontario and then were forced to run to Guatemala,where their leader Helbrans yemach shemo drowned.
Bravo
