I jst got the newest Barenaked Ladies CD, Disc One 1991-2001: All Their Greatest Hits. In the booklet, it gives commentaries on each of the songs on the CD, spoken by Steven Page. His last comment on this song is "And by the way, to answer one of the most common questions I get, the protagonist is still with the same woman - it's the new tenants of his old place that he's intruded upon." Therefore, I do not believe the rumor to be true.
