As we mark a year on rent strike, @JoannaLavoie spoke with us about our ongoing fight against Starlight and PSP’s rent hikes. “If they raise up the rent how many more of my people are going to have to go to the food bank? It’s already really bad.” cp24.com/mobile/news/a-…

In Aug. 2023, Joshua Morrison, owner of Morrison Plumbing & Mechanical Ltd., bought the 10-unit building at 164 Close Ave. in Parkdale. Tenants received lawyer’s letters urging them to take buyouts. Five of the tenants refused to move out. linktr.ee/norenoviction
I often bother landlords for work, but this one is something else. Harrington Housing divide up living rooms to cram in more tenants, and legacy tenants feel they're being pushed out by bad maintenance, sketchy evictions, and roommates being denied fobs. thelocal.to/harrington-hou…
I'm seeing a list of "who to follow on Toronto twitter" that's mostly white dudes and includes an Ontario Proud director. Here's a thread of worthwhile follows:
Residents encamped at City Hall were given a trespass notice yesterday that indicates they will be evicted today. Folks living on site, their friends and supporters had called for a rally for 1 PM today. HESN has been on site and the eviction has not begun yet.

Renters across Canada are paying the price of Canada's housing crisis. With rapidly increasing rental housing costs and a lack of protections against practices such as rent gouging, many renters live in fear of losing their homes. 🧵 1/4 housingrightscanada.com/renters-are-pa…
A Toronto police officer, also a landlord, assaulted his tenant and stole $5,000+ of her belongings. He has been suspended with pay. As Torontonians, we must question a system that downplays violent offences among those supposedly charged with keeping communities safe.

Canada has just announced it does NOT support premise of genocide case brought forward by South Africa. Because Canada continues to commit genocide on these lands. And because imperialists only support ICJ and int legal order when weaponized to further empire's law and order.
Trinity Square residents receive trespass notice today w a deadline that's already passed. @MayorOliviaChow & Councillor Moise these notices are part of @cityoftoronto's violent eviction strategy. We have been calling on you to pass a moratorium & this is your response?

security for renters is based on their possession of their rental unit, and this appears to do nothing to restrict landlords' ability to dispossess tenants
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces measures aimed at protecting renters that will be in upcoming federal budget, including a legal aid fund to protect tenants and a renters’ bill of rights. #cdnpoli
Attn housing scholars/planners! @arurbina and myself are organizing a Panel on 'Everyday struggles of tenants across geographies' for the 2024 @The_ACSP conference in Seattle. For full details, see our request for abstracts here: docs.google.com/document/d/1tr…
Before 1969, Ontario landlords had extra-judicial recourse to collect rent from tenants by taking and selling their belongings, as well as private eviction enforcement to remove tenants with or without hiring a private bailiff.
Women-led households, especially single-parent ones, disproportionately live in core housing need. It's time for gov'ts to recognize & tackle the gendered dimensions of the housing crisis. Let's push for a feminist approach to housing policy. #IWD2024 ottawacitizen.com/opinion/peller…

Matt apparently believes there are landlords looking to spend $10-$50k on a unit renovation just to have the tenant come back at the same rent. Renoviction is about displacement, not renovations.
My @TorontoStar column this week: Hamilton’s got good ideas. Their city hall is leading a charge to protect tenants from bad faith renovictions with a common sense bylaw and enforcement plan. Toronto should be quick to follow their lead. thestar.com/opinion/contri…
