Good news! City Council approved the updates to the RentSafeTO program. Let's see how this rolls out and if tenants see these improvements. Big thanks to tenant advocates, @TorontoACORN and @TorontoTenants!

We are at the @nodemovictions 12pm rally at City Hall today letting City Planning know that passing these motions are crucial! nodemovictions.ca/take-action
Good news from 1440-1442 Lawrence! Last year Barney River didn’t tell any tenant union members about an AGI hearing, and the LTB refused to hear from us about it. Today we took them to divisional court and WON! Our fight continues on the streets, in our homes & in the courts!
🚨BREAKING NEWS📢 @KatEschner from @tvo reports on how the 22 John Rent Strike case has the potential to cap rent increases on non-rent controlled buildings! 💪🏽 👀👀 tvo.org/article/its-ei…
"We have no sympathy for landlords right now in this rental market. We have no sympathy for investors that have to learn about investment risk. But we have a lot of sympathy for tenants," FMTA said. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
@ausmalik @planningtoronto @cupelocal79 "50% of Toronto's residents are renters. Affordable housing is a huge issue for racialized ppl, who are fighting many roadblocks. Many residents in York Southwest make ⬇️$20/hr. With 1-bedroom apts averaging $2600, ppl can't afford housing." Sharlene Henry, Co-Chair @YSWtenants
The concern here with home buying is cartel behaviour. Similar concerns are being raised in the US about similar landlord behaviour in setting rents. Might be coming to a Canadian housing market soon (if it's not already here). cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

RENT STRIKE UPDATE! York South-Weston tenants and allies from @CJusticeTO spent the evening canvassing 8 other buildings owned by Dream Unlimited in Toronto, to build solidarity with the rent strike at 33 King St and 22 John St!
I am introducing amendments to bill 97 to protect Toronto renters from illegal evictions by enforcing a renters right to return to their homes after a renovation, demolition and conversion. Without enforcement, renters almost never return. Watch here: ola.org/en/legislative…
1/2 For all the tenants tuning into this debate (even though no tenant groups were invited) here are some red flags to watch out for: 🚩 “supply is the problem” 🚩 “incentives for developers” 🚩 “cut red tape” 🚩 “average market rent” 🚩 “ask the feds/province to do it” #TOpoli
Today at 12pm is the "Toronto Mayoralty Housing Debate" hosted by the Residential Construction Council of Ontario and other partners - who are mainly involved with building or being landlords. No tenant organizations are involved which is dismaying to see. housingdebate2023.rescon.com
Last week, the @cityoftoronto passed its 2023 budget. Here, we break down some of the key housing and homelessness investments that have - and have not - been committed to this year in the budget. #TOpoli #Right2Housing /1 🧵
It's the last day to register for our Tenant Leadership Training! This workshop is a great opportunity to build your housing advocacy knowledge and learn how the #Right2Housing can help mobilize your community to claim their rights. ➔ bit.ly/TenantLeaderTr…
Our latest analysis examines alternative ways to spend $48M: homeless support, eviction prevention, and tenant protection programs could spread some much-needed love in this city — including in life-and-death situations. #HaveAHeartTO #BudgetTO socialplanningtoronto.org/unhoused_homel…
ACORN has been fighting for affordable and healthy homes for more than 18 years. Members have pushed cities across Ontario to ensure that they use their powers to build AND protect affordable housing. Read our latest report on Bill 23 and Ontario housing: tinyurl.com/32day9k8
If your landlord is responsible for your heat as part of your lease agreement, they are legally obligated to maintain a minimum temperature throughout the colder months (as stated in municipal bylaws). If they aren't keeping your place warm enough, here's what you can do.
Next week, @cityoftoronto is hosting a series of virtual panels focused on housing. Join to hear experts from various sectors discuss key housing challenges and opportunities in Toronto, including @shelaghmccart, @HLMS_Gautam & @drandrewb. Register: toronto.ca/community-peop…
Rents are already WAY too high. Renters can't keep up. Landlords (particularly corporate landlords) have been making record profits. This isn't accidental. Capping rent increases to 2.5% will already be too much for some renters, especially those living on fixed incomes.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making our Neighbours Night such a great success! So many hardworking community organizations call #DonValleyNorth home, which makes it even easier to connect tenants with the resources they need right in their own backyard.
🔔Calling all tenants in #DonValleyNorth! Join us from 6:30 - 8:30 PM for Neighbours Night at the Oriole Community Centre 🏙🏘 We'll be joined by reps from: - @311Toronto - @LegalWillowdale - @TorontoTenants - @nyhfb - @workingwomencc - And more! Can't wait to see you there!
One thing that the province can do overnight is instate real rent control in this province. Over 80% of Ontario tenants believe there should be a limit to the amount landlords can increase the rent for a unit when it becomes vacant. We agree.
NEW: A new poll of renters in Ontario demonstrates the alarming crisis of affordability. Ontario renters are balancing on a knife’s edge to stay housed. 60% of renters in Ontario have had to cut back on food in order to be able to afford their rents.
@TorontoTenants I was disappointed. Only one candidate replied to my request. ----------------------- Ian Lipton Candidate, Green Party of Ontario Toronto-St. Paul’s : "Yes, I have pledged my support for vacancy control. This is also the position of the Ontario Greens."
Over the weekend Thorncliffe Park tenants rallied in protest of an above guideline rent increase at their buildings. ⚡TODAY: visit pspdisplacestenants.com to send an email to PSP Investments in support of these tenants. Tell PSP to direct Starlight to stop the rent hike!
Who believes that housing/residential corporations can be beaten? Residents of Thorncliffe park. ✌️
Tenants of 71, 75, and 79 Thorncliffe Park rallied today in protest of the above guideline rent increase sought by landlord Starlight. The message was loud and clear: Thorncliffe Park tenants will not allow Starlight to push them out of their homes and community.
#Thorncliffe to #Weston tenants all over this city are saying ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
